Blackberry and Nutella Pancakes - total time 20 minutes

What is better than a stack of pancakes on Saturday morning?  A stack of pancakes with sweet blackberries  and melty Nutella, that's what!  Last spring we got so many blackberries from our CSA share that I had to freeze some.  I kind of forgot that they were in the freezer (they were under a pile of frozen peaches, also from our CSA).  Memories of late spring came flooding back as I scarffed the stack down while looking out at our snow covered back yard.  Our spring flowers are starting to pop up, so it can't be too much longer...

BTW, I love this pancake mix!  It is called Kodiak Cakes and I found it at Target of all places.  I love Target's grocery section... it is so small you would think it was only convenience foods that you could get at any normal grocery, but they really do have a variety of stuff I have never seen before.  Like individual packs of tomato sauce and peanut butter (great for hiking!), freeze dried fruits of all kind (I might make my own cereal mix), and these Kodiak Cake pancake mixes.  The pancakes are whole grain (but don't taste like it) and all you need to do is add water.  Of course you can get fancy and add things like blackberries and lemon juice, but all you really need is water!

1.5 cups Kodiak Cake pancake mix
.5 cup water
.75 cup blackberries, halved
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp Nutella
1 tbsp butter

1.  Combine pancake mix and water.  Add blackberries and lemon juice.  Cook pancake batter in butter over medium heat.  Flip after about 3 minutes or until golden.
2,  Spread a half tablespoon of Nutella on top of each warm pancake and stack.
