Better batter pancakes and strawberry sauce

try these I love pancakes and crepes but the carb and fat can be over board 

The batter: 
1 1/3 c AP flour ( u could use a better flour) 
2/3 c oat bran 
2 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp baking soda 
1 3/4 c butter milk 
1/2 c mashed ripe banana 
2 tbsp butter, melt it 
1 egg 
1 tbsp maple syrup ( or any other kind , i sub in sugar free now) 
1/2tsp vanilla ext 
3/4 c fresh blueberries 
1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt 
and cooking spray 

In a bowl mix your flour, oats and baking soda and powder together. Set aside 
add all your wet(include banana) ingredients together in a bowl and mix, then add to your to your dry bowl. 
Mix until all moist and then FOLD in the blueberries. Do not over mix 
Spray your pan and spoon about 1/2 cup of batter for each pancake. 

I also make this strawberry sauce with mine: 
2 cups diced fresh strawberries 
3 tbsp pure maple syrup ( again I have learned to sub it out for a more healthy choice) 
1/4 c orange juice 
1 tbsp corn starch 
Mix the bottom 4 items together whisk well and then add your strawberries, cook over med high heat,, stirring so it dont stick and let it bubble and your sauce will thicken up. I like my sauce warm. but you can put in fridge and serve cold 

Once your pancake is done serve with a dollop of yogurt and drizzle your strawberry sauce over it. 

this batter yields about 10 pancakes 
343 cals 
8 fat 
12 protein 
62 carb 
4 fiber
