Whole Wheat Pancakes Taste Better With Fruit

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.

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.

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.

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.
