3 Ingredient Thursday- Blueberry Pancakes

I know I should be ashamed posting something that basically is NOT a recipe, but more of a "how to fake out the family and make them think you made something from scratch early before church on Sunday Morning". Which is exactly what I did here.

But you know what? When my hubby and son give rave reviews over something so easy, I think I should share the secret so the next time you're in a bind, you have this simple "instruction" to fall back on.

Here's what I did...

I slept in on Sunday morning but still wanted to give them somewhat of a hearty breakfast. So I pulled out the pancake mix (the kind that you only add water to- it was even a generic brand!) and added a cup full of fresh blueberries to the batter and viola! Perfect tasting blueberry pancakes! The guys were none the wiser!

I served it with syrup and a side of fresh fruit mix, Apple Raspberry Juice and a cup of Hazelnut coffee. Sunday morning never tasted so good!

Now, to make up for my unpreparedness on this lazy Sunday morning, I decided to share a REAL recipe with you by someone who obviously was prepared on Sunday.
