Buckwheat pancakes and yummie toppings

I found out buckwheat pancakes can be delicious and not at all the dry grainy stuff of childhood. I found that Hodgson Mill makes great Buckwheat pankcake mix and if you use substitute egg and the Smart Balanced milk even healthier. Add this one to the pantry! It's great with kroger brand (yes I said KROGER) sugar free syrup. Blueberry topping is frozen blueberries (with no sugar added) put a cup of them into in a little sauce pan with two tablespoons of slenda a little bit of water (couple tablespoons more less for thicker or thinner) for the topping or you can do... My sugar free Bananas Foster. Two bananas sliced divide and put half in the pan with a teaspoon of smart balance light buttery spread with olive oil, a tablespoon of Splenda, dash of (1/4th) a teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4th teaspoon ground cloves, a little water. Medium heat til it dissolves the bananas then take it off the heat and add the rest of the bananas for texture. Spread the fruit between two of the pancakes a little drizzle of the syrup...with the fruit you don't need so much. Add some crispy turkey bacon and sunday brunch becomes fun again. Makes six pancakes... 2 of which are yours soo score! I use the topping for ice cream too. Sugar free does not have to mean tasteless. Makes all the gardening and working out after sooooo worth it!
