Blueberry Pancakes - Lighter Version

I've been on a little bit of a breakfast kick lately...

Don't you love it?  

Pancakes are some of our favorite weekend breakfast foods.  I'm usually a traditionalist with my pancakes, staying with good old fashioned Buttermilk Pancakes.  MGG on the other hand likes variation, so that what he gets!  He loves all the differnet pancakes I've made and these are one of his favorites.

Warm blueberries inside light fluffy pancakes.  What can be better?  Even I have to admit that these pancakes are pretty darn tasty!

A the bonus?  They are lower in calories...yippee!  Yep, that's right, you heard it...a light version of your favorite Blueberry Pancakes.

Yogurt, whole wheat flour, and reduced butter and sugar make them so.  These are just irresistible.  Sure to please any family!  Mine and yours!  

Enjoy!
