Breakfast with a healthy twist

After recently learning about (and sharing) the amazing benefits of adding spelt to your diet I was so excited to make a breakfast favorite with spelt as a main ingredient! Franferd Farms makes a whole lot of health minded mixes like spelt pancakes, buckwheat pancakes, 7 grain pancakes, corn bread mix and scone mix. After trying the spelt pancakes (pictured) I was awed by how much I loved the nutty taste and grainy texture that the spelt lent to the mix. Frankferd Farms is a family business that works hard to support the health of our planet and its consumers by providing high quality organic food.

Pancakes are not just for the weekend anymore!

Pancakes are not usually healthy—a mixture of flours, eggs, oils- then fried in a pan and topped with sugary syrups. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Start with a mix like Fibre’s Original Premium Multi-Grain Pancakes and whip up a batch packed with multi-grains, 9 grams of fiber (hence the name) as well as 1000mg Omega-3 and Anti-oxidants to keep you fueled until your next meal. There are so many possibilities for making these a bit different or topping them creatively. I made mine as directed and topped with a drizzle of sugar free syrup and they tasted just like those luscious pancake house pancakes. Yum. Next time, I may try adding some blueberries (or other dried fruit), some cocoa powder, canned pumpkin, vanilla extract… You get the idea! Then top with melted peanut butter, jam, honey or another one of my favorites: take a bit of flavored protein powder, a dash of sweetener, a bit of water and whisk until a syrup is formed.
