How Delicious Can Whole Wheat Pancakes Be?

By Jamis Hartley

For many the idea of eating more whole wheat foods is really catching on. Whole wheat foods have a yummy nutty taste about them and the health benefits are many. If you want to start each day off right, why not try whole wheat pancakes with fruit.

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.

Adding anything to sweeten naturally to the whole wheat pancakes rather than using the processed syrups is a good way to lower the sugar content that you take in and still provide a great taste. It will also add a super taste to your healthier whole wheat pancakes that makes them seem even more like a treat.

When heated with a few teaspoons of lemon and about three tablespoons of natural cane or other natural sweetener, you can turn blueberries or raspberries into a delightful fruit compote that tops off the nutlike taste of your whole wheat pancakes to perfection.

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.

Whole wheat pancakes topped with a hot fruity blend is wonderful morning treat, especially on a cool crisp morning. The great scent of the cooking fruit will bring a lot of attention to your now favorably anticipated meal. It really is delicious for adults and kids. It's surprising how the whole wheat tastes so good with fruit.

The health benefits of whole wheat are well documented and becoming increasingly popular. The delicious taste of whole wheat pancakes is still being discovered. Treat your family to a healthy dose of whole wheat topped with just the right things that will keep them coming back for more.

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.
