For at least 2 years I have been searching for the perfect wholegrain pancake mix. Yes, I know I could make my own from scratch, but my goal was to find a mix.
One of the previous mixes resulted in pancakes that were like heavy flat corn hockey pucks. I tried buckwheat pancake mix. I love buckwheat pancakes – but my husband, not so much and they don’t look nearly as pretty for picky eaters.
This morning I tried the Arrowhead Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix – with 15g whole grains per serving and 70% organic. They cooked up light, fluffy and delicious.
My husband sat down to eat and said “these look normal – what happened?”.
My 2 year old son said “these are the best pancakes”.
Finding this mix makes a big difference in the nutritional benefits of a pancake breakfast.
I serve pancake breakfast with applesauce (for the littles), syrup (for the grown ups) and fruit.
Syrup tip – if you put the syrup on the side for dipping you will use much less. When syrup is placed on top it absorbs into the pancakes generally resulting in us adding even more. Even if you are using an HFCS free option – it’s still sugar.
