Seriously...I found a pancake mix that is healthy, filling and much better than many cereals.
It is Bob's Red Mill Organic High Fiber Pancake Whole Grain mix, and contains only 1 gram of sugar per serving! Plus, there is only 1 gram of fat, 200 calories, a whopping 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein! It is made with whole wheat flour, oatmeal, wheat gluten, wheat bran, cane juice, flaxseed meal, oat bran, wheat germ and a few other ingredients.
We make it healthy by adding either ricotta cheese to the mix (it makes it creamy and adds healthy protein), frozen blueberries or other berry, or top it with bananas and pecans. It is super-easy to make in the mornings, more filling than cereal, and we either use sugar-free syrup or mix the blueberry juice with a little syrup, or just eat them with fruit jelly. Oh--you can also add purees to the batter; I recently added pumpkin and it was really good! Great way to get some extra fruits in your diet, and we control what type of sugar we want to add (via syrup, sugar-free syrup, fruit jelly, honey, etc).
