Whole Wheat Pancakes with Maple Yogurt Dipping Sauce

You should never buy pancake mix again.

I'm serious.

I'm 26 and I just learned how easy and cost-effective it is to make your own.  Plus it's more healthy because it has less sugar and no preservatives.

With my little one, it's also fun to cut the pancakes into sticks so we can dip it into maple yogurt dipping sauce.

Maple yogurt dipping sauce is a great way to cut back on sugar intake and add some protein to your pancake breakfast.  Plus, real maple syrup can be expensive, so mixing it into yogurt cuts way back on the normal amount you'd use on a plate of pancakes.
