Blender Pancakes... NO OIL

We love Breakfast food at our house! Awhile ago I made some blender pancakes and I forgot to put in the oil. After clean up I was putting away the recipe and realized I skipped over and forgot to put in the 1/2 cup of oil. I couldn't even tell the difference. So here is my recipe... with out oil. I would suggest making them on a nonstick surface.... That way you can make them without putting anything on the pan. The whole batch is 14 points on WW. Enjoy!

1 Cup Whole Wheat
1 1/2 Cup of Low Fat Milk
1 Egg
2 T honey
3tsp Baking powder
1tsp Salt
2-3 tsp Vanilla ( i heart Vanilla)

1. Blend 1 Cup wheat and 1 cup milk on high for 3-4 minutes
2. Add 1/2 cup to mix blend for another minute or so.
3. Add egg, honey,powder,salt, and vanilla until you reach desired consistency.
4. Cook about 3 minutes on each side on low-med burner.
Recipe makes us about 18 pancakes.

If you feel like some spice, add 1/2 cup pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon.... mmmm
