Pancakes Galore!

I woke up one day and was just sick of eating the same old cardboard cereal and boring oatmeal. I came up with these amazing pancakes because I was not a fan of jam! As a nut lover, I had to include them in the pancakes. They add texture to the otherwise monotonous traditional pancakes. The raspberry jam is an excellent alternative to syrup or butter, especially if you use sugar-free. Heres the recipe =)

Ingredients:
1 cup: Pancake mix (of your preference)
3/4 cup milk
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
pinch of baking powder
3-4 tbsp: chopped dry nuts (I use almonds,cashews, and pistachios)
seed less red raspberry jam (or any other jam of your preference)

Directions:
Heat a flat skillet (medium to low heat). Meanwhile, combine the pancake mix, milk, oil, baking powder, and nuts thoroughly. DO NOT over mix because that will make the batter tough and you wont have light pancakes. Add oil to the skillet. Pour batter using a ladle and when there are bubbles and a slightly golden edge on the pancake, flip and check underneath after a minute or so. Place pancake on a dish and spread the raspberry jam on top. Enjoy!
