It will also add a super taste to your healthier whole wheat pancakes that makes them seem even more like a treat.
Fresh fruit and yogurt together make a delicious topping. If you like your pancakes hot like me try cooking up some raspberries or blueberries with just the right amount of flavor. Add a little bit of lemon and a few teaspoons of a natural sweetener or even sugar if you must and mix it together. The hot topping will mix with delight over the top of your whole wheat pancakes being a little less healthy than fresh fruit without the sugar, but so delicious and still quite good for you.
To make the fruit topping, use three cups of blueberries, (substitute blackberries or raspberries if you like them better) add about five tablespoons of lemon juice and heat to boiling. Stir in 1/3 cup of cane sugar or natural sweetener. Simmer for about 10 minutes. The mixture will begin to get thicker at which point its time to remove from heat.
