cup peeled and finely chopped apples
¼ cup blueberries ¼ cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1 tablespoon fat-free cottage cheese
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Place all ingredients except for the blueberries and apples in a medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of water and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Gently fold in apples and blueberries.
Over medium heat, in a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray, evenly pour batter to form 3 pancakes. Once pancakes begin to look solid (after about 3 minutes), gently flip.
Cook for 3 additional minutes, or until both sides are lightly browned and insides are cooked through. Now plate your pancakes and enjoy.

Cereal is typically one of my "danger foods" because the recommended serving sizes are laughable, so I end up eating WAY too much of the stuff. And huge bowls of cereal = too many calories. This recipe allows you to eat a seriously gigantic bowl for a reasonable amount of calories. I LOVE, LOVE this breakfast!
