Ingredients:
Serves 4

* 1 1/2 cups multigrain or whole grain pancake mix

* 1/2 lemon , zested
* 1 1/4 cups slightly warmed low-fat milk
* 1 large egg , beaten
* 1/2 cup very finely chopped pecans
* 1 handful fresh or frozen berries

Preheat griddle pan or large sauté pan over medium heat.

In a large bowl, mix the pancake mix with lemon zest. In a separate bowl,
mix together the low-fat milk and eggs. Make a well in the center of the
flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture and chopped pecans. Whisk just
until well combined. This batter can be made the night before and left,
covered, in fridge for up to 1 week.

Use cooking spray to grease griddle pan. Spoon 1/4 cup at a time onto the
griddle. Be careful to not let edges touch. Cook until the tops begin to
bubble and just turn golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and let cook for 1 to 2
minutes more on the other side until light golden brown. Transfer to a plate
and repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are finished. Serve hot
with berries and honey and maple syrup if desired.
