In small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons wheat germ, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-grain pancake mix. Slowly add dry ingredients to oat mixture.

Veggie Pattie with Apple-Chicken Sausage

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and combine. Mist muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. Pour batter into pans and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. (Leftovers can be frozen.) Serve with 1/2 cup skim milk and 1 hard-boiled egg.
