Steps

  1. 1

    1 tablespoon cooking oil, butter, or margarine

    Melt the oil, butter, or margarine on 50% power in the microwave, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    3 tablespoons water

    1/3 cup pancake mix

    1 teaspoon sugar, honey, or syrup

    Mix the water into the melted oil, then add the pancake mix and sugar. Stir well — a few lumps are fine, don't overmix.

  3. 3

    Bonus, if you have it:

    a handful of blueberries or strawberries, fresh or frozen

    sliced banana

    a sprinkle of cinnamon

    Sprinkle the blueberries over the batter, if using.

  4. 4

    Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, until the top is no longer wet. Eat right away — it deflates and gets tougher as it sits.

Make it yours

This recipe is flexible — it'll take any fruit you have on hand. Strawberries that need eating? Toss them in. Have a banana? Slice it in and it tastes almost like a quick banana bread. A little cinnamon on top doesn't hurt either. It's a really nice one for a cool morning.
