How To Make Pancakes Healthier - 8 Tips

We all love big tall stacks of fluffy white pancakes with crispy golden edges.
Not everyone can eat this kind of pancakes.
Here are a couple easy tips to make your next batch healthier while still keeping the flavor and texture.

1) Make them yourself instead of purchasing pancake mix.
2) Use olive oil instead of vegetable oil in your batter.
3) Use butter flavored non-stick spray instead of oil on your griddle.
4) Whole wheat flour instead of enriched, bleached white flour.
5) Add Wheat germ 1/4cup to a batch of batter.
6) Include Quick Oats to your batter, this should be added to wet ingredients.
7) Make your own syrup by boiling fruit (apples, bananas, pears, vanilla) in water then add sugar to sweeten.
8) Use artificial sweetner to make syrup.
