Having a grapefruit for breakfast every morning is a great way to shed some pounds, but it's pretty boring. Broiling the grapefruit make a boring breakfast staple into something fun, warm, and sweet.

Adding lemon berry pancakes to this breakfast was a natural choice. They complemented each other very nicely and I was able to zest part of the grapefruit for the pancakes.

Broiled Grapefruit

1 grapefruit
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Cut the Grapefruit in half. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar on the top of each grapefruit slice.
Put into a small casserole dish and broil for 5 minutes or until the edges are slightly burnt.

Lemon Berry Pancakes

1 egg
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon of grapefruit zest (or lemon zest)
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup berries (thawed if frozen)

In a small bowl mix together all the wet ingredients including the zest. In a separate larger bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Fold the berries into the batter.
Scoop into desired sizes onto a griddle. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve with butter and powdered sugar. Or you can make a lemon yogurt sauce to go over the pan cakes.
