Buttermilk Pancakes ~A clean eating recipe

I subscribe to Clean Eating magazine.  It is full of great recipes and ideas to "clean-up" our eating habits.  I got this Buttermilk Pancake recipe from their website.  I made a few substitutions.  I also added a little water to the original recipe.  It seemed a bit too thick.  I love the taste of these pancakes and you don't have to feel guilty about eating them!  Serve with a small drizzle of real maple syrup or sugar free syrup.  Top with fresh berries.
