Pumpkin Cranberry Pecan Pancakes with Agave Nectar

I know I've made pumpkin pancakes and from scratch before but Trader Joe's is just too darn good and sometimes I feel a bit Lazy. I made some alterations to make them more healthy so you aren't stuffed full of fat and sugar.

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pancakes with a Twist
(makes 4 to 6 pancakes)

1 cup Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pancake mix
2 tablespoons margarine melted
2 tablespoons flax seed mixed with 6 tablespoons warm water
1 cup water
1/4 cup dried cranberries

To top them off:
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
2 tablespoons agave nectar

Pre heat skillet or frying pan lightly greased (I use canola spray) over medium heat
In a mixing bowl whisk all ingredients (except pecans and agave) to combine until smooth

Spoon 1/4 - 1/2 cup batter into skillet and cook until bubbly and slightly brown (about 2 minutes) flip and cook another 1 -2 minutes.

Move to a seperate plate

Continue until all the batter is gone.

Top with agave and pecans and serve.
