Steps:

For pancakes

Cook about 3 minutes; flip and cook about 3 minutes more. Transfer to serving plate and keep warm until eggs are cooked. Serve with syrup (and berries, if desired).

For eggs:
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over low to medium. Thoroughly whisk together all ingredients. Pour into skillet and stir occasionally to scramble. Transfer to serving plate with pancakes and bacon and serve immediately.
