PEAR PECAN PANCAKES

1 cup packaged pancake mix
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp canola oil
1 medium pear, cored and chopped
3/4 cup uncooked oats
2 tbsp chopped toasted pecans
Chopped toasted pecans for garnish, if desired

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the pancake mix and cinnamon.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, and oil; mix well. Add to the pancake/cinnamon mix in the large bowl. Stir with a wire whisk just until combined. Gently stir in the pear, oats, and pecans. Let stand a minute or two to thicken.

To cook the pancakes, get griddle or large skillet hot and lightly oil bottom. Pour pancake batter onto the griddle and cook until the edges started to bubble. Turn pancakes and cook until cooked through. Serve with warm maple syrup and garnish with chopped pecans, if desired.
