Cinnamon-Vanilla Pancakes

• 1 c. skim milk
• 1/2 c. nonfat vanilla yogurt
• 1 T. double strength vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 c. whole wheat pancake mix (see above)
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 T. ground cinnamon
• Cooking spray

Combine the milk, yogurt, vanilla and egg in a small bowl; whisk quickly to blend the mixture.

Place the pancake mix into a large bowl and add the brown sugar and cinnamon; whisk lightly to incorporate them into the mix.

Add the egg mixture to the mix. Stir until a batter forms -- there may be lumps remaining.

Heat an electric griddle to 400 degrees and spray it with cooking spray. Measure 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake and pour it onto the hot griddle. When bubbles appear on the top of the pancakes, turn them over using a spatula and cook them on the other side until they are golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to a heated platter and serve warm with the toppings of your choice.
