Whole Wheat Pancakes and Fruit: A Wonderful Marriage In The Morning

By Jamis Hartley

Healthy eating is a good way to get your body in shape, to lose unwanted pounds and to get the overall good health that you're trying to achieve. What better way to offer those benefits to yourself than whole wheat products? Whole wheat pancakes offer a great nutty flavor that is well complimented by fruit or other healthy and natural sweeteners.

The versatility of a pancake is what makes whole wheat pancakes such a great menu item throughout the week. They can be served up in minutes or take a little more care and provide toppings to please any meal participant. When it comes to whole wheat pancakes the topping of choice is fruit. The two just go so well together.

Making the expense and effort to eat whole wheat pancakes should not be wasted by the pouring high sugar syrups and dessert toppings all over you plate. There are so many other toppings available that provide the sweetness we all desire and doesn't have the bad side effects of a high sugar content. Fruit or yogurt or both together seem to blend so well with the nutty taste of wheat pancakes.

Try something like blueberries or raspberries heated with a few teaspoons of lemon and a couple teaspoons of natural cane sugar. The warm topping comes with a lot less sugar than the high fructose corn syrup alternative and is so inviting on a cool morning. It will soak into your whole wheat pancake creating a great taste and texture.

This is the recipe I really like: You can choose whatever berry you like. For me it tastes best with blueberries or raspberries. Add five tablespoons of lemon juice and heat to a boil. Stir in 1/3 cup of sugar or sugar substitute and let simmer for about 10 minutes. When the mixture begins getting a little thicker remove from heat and serve.

Once the scent of sweetened and heated fruit starts creeping around the house you will have curious visitors looking forward to a delicious treat. There is something about a hot berry topping poured over whole wheat pancakes that creates such a wonder taste combination.

Whole wheat pancakes are a healthy, more natural way to start your morning. The advantages of whole wheat to your health are well known. Offer them to your own family and make breakfast an event that everyone looks forward to.

Enjoying a healthy breakfast like whole wheat pancakes topped with a super yummy fruit topping will provide the energy to work and play hard throughout the day. Taking the time to prepare a hot and healthy meal to bring your family together will provide benefits long after the pancakes and berries are consumed. - 17273
