My household loves pancakes - who doesn't? We like them plain - we like them all dolled up with fruit or chocolate chips - with or without whipped cream (on special occasions). We eat them so much that I decided to try a whole wheat version. I picked up Aunt Jemima's Whole Wheat Blend Pancake & Waffle Mix at Publix. My kids couldn't tell the difference, but I could! The whole wheat mix produces a pancake that is rich in taste and delicious!! I've discovered that I really like earthy flavors (think roasted almonds) and these are very rich, almost nutty in flavor.
I whipped them up with cut up bananas and blueberries.
I added about a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a few hearty shakes of cinnamon to add a little flare to the recipe.
There is no trans fat in the mix and one serving contains 15 grams of whole grain! Served with turkey bacon, it's a great breakfast for growing boys (and girls). I typically double the recipe and put the leftovers in the freezer. Then on a busy school morning, all I have to do is heat one in the microwave for an instant (but healthy) breakfast!
