I owe this recipe to my mom, who started making them years ago. They have been a huge hit and they are packed with nutrition. With all the heart shaped chocolates I can’t seem to stop eating, it’s nice to start the day off with a heart shaped treat that it a real treat for your heart (hehe).

Moist Blueberry Banana Pancakes

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground allspice
• 2 cups soy or almond milk
• 2 Tbs real maple syrup, plus more for serving
• 3 medium bananas
• 4 oz apple sauce (1/2 cup)
• 2 cups fresh blueberries

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice and set aside.

Mash well two of the bananas and mix with the milk; stir in maple syrup and apple sauce. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a few swift strokes until just combines. Chop the remaining bananas. Fold bananas and blueberries in until just incorporated.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook pancakes and serve with maple syrup.
