These healthy chocolate pancakes feel like a special morning treat. The yogurt and raspberries are fresh additions. Use one egg if you don't have egg substitute on hand. —Lisa DeMarsh, Mount Solon, Virginia

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter, melted
1 cup fresh raspberries

In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Combine the milk, egg substitute and butter; add to dry ingredients just until moistened.
