How to Make Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes Tasty
We've gotten into the habit of eating a more healthy breakfast when we cook a full meal breakfast on the weekends. We do include sometimes some lean meats, but primarily we're pancake people.
They are yummy when they are fresh off the pan and they can be enjoyed in so many ways. Pancakes are delicious for sure, but the problem for many of us is not the pancake itself but all the stuff we pile or pour all over them.
Healthy whole wheat pancakes that are drowned in a sugary substance such as corn syrup aren't really the best kind of breakfast, but without syrup, you have sometimes just a plain piece of bread. Tasty bread, granted, but not all that you really want for breakfast.
To avoid smothering your possibly healthy whole wheat pancake find a different way to add flavor. One idea is to add some of the syrup you love into the batter for that same great taste but without the quantity typically used when pouring it all over the top. Another great idea to get more flavor by using less is by using real butter. Real butter has more flavor and requires you to use less while still getting that flavor we love. Butter hasn't been promoted so much over the years, but studies actually show that because of it's flavor we typically use less of it than the artificial stuff that comes with the trans fats. I simply prefer natural substances over artificial in all cases.
Adding flavor to our healthy whole wheat pancakes doesn't have to be a high calorie operation. There are lots of great ways to bring out flavor that will decrease our desire to pour sugary whatever all over the top of our steaming little pancake. The best place to start is with a yummy recipe that you can add to. By making the pancake taste better to begin with you will be able to enjoy them with a lot less calories after they are cooked.
If you really need topping, and some of us do, try a few teaspoons of fruit. Home made strawberry freezer jams have a much lower sugar content, are softer and more spreadable and taste super. Low sugar fruits such as peaches or pears are quite good and applesauce spread over pancakes is actually very good.
For a real treat, cook them a bit thinner, roll them up with fresh fruit inside them and top with a single dollop of whipped topping. Fresh fruit adds a festive look and taste to breakfast and no one is going to say no to healthy whole wheat pancakes and strawberries for breakfast.
Getting the kids to stop long enough for a meal isn't always easy. A family meal on the weekends with fresh fruit, whipped topping and healthy whole wheat pancakes makes it that much easier to get everyone sitting down and talking. Who knows, you might even start a tradition. - 17273
