Delicious Ways to Eat Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes
Making a habit of eating healthy is difficult on a daily basis. Weekends are however a much easier time for most to prepare a full cooked breakfast. As for me, pancakes are almost always part of a healthy full cooked meal.
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.
When it comes to health we go for the healthy whole wheat pancakes, but when covering even whole wheat pancakes with all that syrup and sugary stuff we aren't getting the health benefits we bargained for. However, without all the toppings a healthy whole wheat pancake isn't really my idea of a good meal.
I suggest foregoing the corn syrup based toppings smothered all over the top, but try putting just a little maple syrup in the batter. Another idea is to use real butter. It is more flavorful and requires you to use less to get more flavor than you'll get out of the fake stuff. In general I like to stick with natural substances instead of anything artificial.
There are many great ways of getting the flavor out of the healthy whole wheat pancakes. Of course starting out with a pancake mix that has great flavor to begin with really helps. Find a recipe that you really enjoy and then you can add to it. Try adding flavor to the batter that will decrease your desire to add sugary stuff to top once it is cooked and steaming on your plate. You're going to get a much more enjoyable pancake with a lot less calories.
A lonely stack of pancakes for most of us is not enough. The versatility of pancakes is because of the variety of toppings that taste so good. So if you are like me and just don't like eating pancakes plain regardless of how tasty they are try some lower sugar toppings. Freezer jams that are homemade are my favorite. They have much less sugar and they are soft and easy to spread. Another favorite of mine is a little fruit and yogurt. Peaches, pears and applesauce are a bit less in sugar than some of the other fruits you might consider.
Another great idea to change things up is to mix your batter a bit thinner so you can role up your pancakes with a little fruit inside. Adding just a small scoop of whipped cream is also very delicious and not all that unhealthy for you. Making your pancakes look good is often just as important as keeping them healthy and tasty. My kids love the many designs they can make out of whole wheat pancakes, fruit and whipped cream on their plate.
Finding a meal that will get us and our kids to stop for a minute and enjoy healthy food isn't at all easy. Having a meal that is so quick and easy to make helps on a daily basis. Of course a well planed cooked meal on the weekend with all the creative ideas you have come up with will really help to get the family together or just help you to eat a little healthier. - 17269
