Show Episode: Coming Soon!
By: Caitlin Cooks

You’ll Need:
2 eggs
2C all-purpose flour
3T sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2C buttermilk
1/2 stick butter (make sure it’s unsalted!)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Cooking Spray
Fresh Blueberries
Garnishes: confectioners sugar, maple syrup, butter

Make It:

1. Combine all your dry ingredients and sift (this prevents lumps). Whisk your eggs than combine them with the dry ingredients. Add your buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk a little bit more.

2. Spray a pan (or griddle) with cooking spray. Drop 1/4C of the batter for each pancake. Scatter some blueberries over the top. Cook until bubbles form on the top. Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another  2 minutes until the other side is brown.

3. Top the finished cakes with powdered sugar, butter and (lots) of maple syrup!

Who remembers the Fla-Vor-Ice pops from when you were little? I bet you don’t remember that they were also artificially died, loaded with sugar and lord knows what else! I’ve been reading labels more and paying attention to what I’m eating. I found these frozen fruit pops by Power of Fruit. Let me break it down for you:
- 100% Whole Fruit
- No corn syrup
- No additives
- No preservatives
And just to keep it real…every fruit bar you’ve tried (cough, cough Edy’s) probably has a small amount of real fruit in it.
They come in cherry berry, banana berry, tropical all fruit and (my fav) orange tango.
