Whole Wheat Pancakes Taste Better With Fruit

By Jamis Hartley

Whole wheat pancakes with fruit is a wonderful way to start your day. Eating healthy is hard when the foods you have to choose from are somewhat less than desirable. I have found that whole wheat pancakes topped with fruit instead of super sweet syrups is actually quite the treat. It's almost as though the two were meant to go together.

Whole wheat pancakes are a perfect way to get a huge healthy dose of essential vitamins and minerals. Whole wheat pancakes with fruit is the perfect way to enjoy the healthy dose of all that good stuff. It makes it delicious for breakfast or even a quick and easy meal for dinner.

The health benefits of whole wheat pancakes can largely be lost under a thick coating of sugary syrups or dessert toppings. To really bring out great flavor and not suffer the consequences of a high sugar meal, try fruit or yogurt. The sweet taste of fresh or warmed fruit mixed with the hardy nutty taste of whole wheat pancakes is a match made in heaven.

Fresh fruit and yogurt together make a delicious topping. If you like your pancakes hot like me try cooking up some raspberries or blueberries with just the right amount of flavor. Add a little bit of lemon and a few teaspoons of a natural sweetener or even sugar if you must and mix it together. The hot topping will mix with delight over the top of your whole wheat pancakes being a little less healthy than fresh fruit without the sugar, but so delicious and still quite good for you.

To make the fruit topping, use three cups of blueberries, (substitute blackberries or raspberries if you like them better) add about five tablespoons of lemon juice and heat to boiling. Stir in 1/3 cup of cane sugar or natural sweetener. Simmer for about 10 minutes. The mixture will begin to get thicker at which point its time to remove from heat.

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.

Getting the health benefits of whole wheat becomes a more desirable treat when it's prepared in a delicious way. Whole wheat pancakes are a wonderfully easy way to get your whole wheat and the yummy fruit topping will help you keep the sugar levels in check and still get the taste that will keep you coming back for more.

A breakfast event that features warm whole wheat pancakes and fruit topping becomes an event that the entire family looks forward to, even if you only do it on the weekends. The health of your family benefits from the whole wheat pancakes--the health of your family unit benefits from breakfast together. - 17274
