GREAT, HEALTHY RECIPE!!!!

Last night, we had breakfast for dinner. I didn't want to use my standard for pancakes-Bisquick-because I wanted a healthier version. I always have whole wheat flour (I highly recommend you do too if you cook a lot like me) so I googled "Whole wheat pancakes" and got a recipe from cooks.com. It was delicious!!! Even my picky-eating children loved them. And, as far as I can tell, the pancakes are very healthy.

Here's the recipe:
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 Tbsp sugar/splenda mix
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk (I used 1% but you could use skim)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
4 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce

Preheat griddle to medium heat, spray with Pam (if you need to). Use 1/3 cup measuring cup to dispense evenly (I just used my mixing spoon). Cook until bubbles appear on top, flip.

You could add any kind of fruit, like blueberries to it. I used Log Cabin Lite syrup instead of usual, full sugar syrup.

I think the one of the keys to losing weight and keeping it off is finding healthier alternatives to your favorite foods. Pancakes are one of my favorite things to eat and while Bisquick isn't bad for you, it is a lot of empty carbs. At least with this recipe I feel like I'm eating something good for me.
