We recently discovered Aunt Jemima whole wheat blend pancake and waffle mix. It has been accepted well by the children--no complaints that it's chewy or tastes different than a normal pancake. One serving (approximately three 4" pancakes have 26 grams of carbohydrate and 3 grams of dietary fiber). The mix has no trans fats, either. This is not a complete mix--you add 1 cup milk, 1 T oil, and 1 egg. To jazz up your pancakes you could add: fresh or frozen blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla, or chopped pecans. Today we made the pancakes as pictured, then spread them with peanut butter, topped with banana slices, and folded in half to make a "peanut butter banana taco". The kids loved them! Leftover pancakes could easily be frozen or kept in the fridge for another busy morning.
