healthy whole wheat pancakes- No Diets Allowed

 

Why wait for breakfast to have these homemade fluffy pancakes?  Make these whole wheat pancakes from scratch for lunch or dinner!  Trust me… the light, airy, and sweet taste will be a hit no matter the time of day.

 

Also, will you PLEASE not insult their fluffy goodness by topping them with artificial, highly processed, full of sugar syrup?  However if you like maple syrup, there is still an option for you.  Pure maple syrup is the only right way to do it.  You still get the classic flavor of maple syrup without all the sugar, corn syrup, food dyes, preservatives, additives, and artificial flavors.

I love topping them with fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, bananas, mangoes, raspberries, etc.).  Or you could spread some natural peanut butter on top.  I love Adam’s Natural Peanut Butter because it has one ingredient… peanuts.  If you haven’t heard me preach it before, I can say it again.  Read the ingredients on all pre-packaged foods you purchase!  You shouldn’t have to struggle pronouncing ingredients or wonder what they are.  You don’t have to compromise on flavor to eat something healthy and natural.  Adam’s Natural Peanut Butter and Now Foods Organic Maple Syrup are perfect examples.
