Strawberry Pancakes: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Finalist

Strawberry Pancakes: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Finalist

Introduction

My family loves to eat pancakes at Perkins and IHOP, but they are so unhealthy. I wanted a pancake that would provide better nutrition, so I developed this recipe instead. This has become a family favorite--even my teenagers love them! They are easy to make and taste so good, they are my "go to" breakfast when we have company.

    No buttermilk? Use 1 tsp. white vinegar or lemon juice to each cup of low-fat or non-fat milk. Didn't have wheat bran so I doubled the whole wheat flour. Deleted salt for low-sodium; added chopped walnuts and served with banana slices. Yummy! - 7/24/10

    I made this recipe as waffles. They taste great. They are sweet enough that they don't need syrup or very little if you really want syrup. I had blackberries with my waffle, not in my waffle but that would be good also. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/18/10

    mmmm...these were so good! Thank you! Even the "whole grain" haters in the family liked them! I added some no sugar pancake syrup as well. The kids added some banana.I wasn't sure how much batter to use per pancake so used 1/4c and turns out that was perfect to make 18 generous size pancakes! - 2/13/10

    This should be called strawberries with bran pancakes. There are no strawberries in the pancakes! The strawberries are on the side and just screw up the search parameters. - 7/31/10

    I have not tried these yet because I don't have wheat bran. Do you think you could substitute oat bran for the wheat bran and have the same result? - 3/4/12

    Sodium count just way too high for my breakfast. Even without the added salt, still too high. - 3/2/12

    I made this exactly as written and my whole family couldn't stand the taste. I'm sure it was the wheat bran that was the taste that we didn't care for. I'll have to try it with some of the members tweaks next time and maybe we can stomach it. Thank you for sharing your recipe. =) - 7/23/11

    Have you heard of Rapadura? It is the most natural sugar you will ever find. Also, I would only use soy flour. Sounds great. - 7/23/11

    Used alternate ingredients for an even more healthy version: 2 Eggs, from Natural Grain-Fed Free Roaming Nesting Hens; whole organic milk; coconut oil instead of canola ; stevia instead of brown sugar; coconut flour instead of all-purpose; homemade syrup. Here's to good health!
