Remeber the kids song that says: "Make me a cake and mark it with a B"? Well, you can mark this cake with a P—for perfect, protein pancakes. Protein powders can be added to pancake and waffle mixes. 

Peanut butter, agave nectar, nuts, or fruit can be great substitutes for high sugar syrups. 

Fruit and fruit compotes can make pancakes more moist. I like to add extra fiber, wheat germ, and even sweet potatoes to my pancake mixes. Sweet potatoes make a great topping also.

Vitalicious has a great low calorie pancake mix—see "Great Food Finds" section or google vitalicious.com.
