Blueberry Pancakes

These are really good and oh so easy! 1 box of Hungry Jack Complete Mix (just follow the directions on the back of the box for how much mix and how much water.) fresh blueberries sugar free syrup Heat a skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. (I spray my pan before I cook each pancake.) Pour some batter in the skillet, then sprinkle a few blueberries and cook the pancake on both sides until done. Serve with your choice of syrup. We use Walmart's brand sugar free, and it really has a great taste. You don't even think of it as being sugar free.
