I've talked about it before, but it's worth talking about again. My family loves a good "breakfast-for-dinner" night. There is just something so warm and comforting to sitting down to a delicious breakfast at the end of a long, hard day.

The ingredients:

• All-Purpose Flour
• Sprouted Wheat Flour
• Coconut Palm Sugar
• Ground Flax Seeds
• Ground Cinnamon
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Buttermilk
• Eggs
• Butter
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• Peaches (fresh or frozen)
• Pure Maple Syrup

Healthy pancakes for the win

I did adapt the original recipe for these Blueberry Peach Pancakes slightly from what was printed in the Cooking Light cookbook.

Mostly because I needed to ensure that I had enough pancakes leftover to photograph the next day, and more importantly, to feed my family of men who love their sweet breakfast foods, AND because I wanted to make them just a tad bit healthier.

What I did was that I incorporate some sprouted wheat flour in with some of the all-purpose flour, and where the recipe called for granulated sugar, I substituted coconut palm sugar.

But please don't tell my family of men that. What they don't know, won't hurt them. In fact, it just might help them! At least that's the plan! 🙂

The easy step-by-step photo instructions:

• Add all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
• Stir in the wet ingredients and mix well.

• Stir the blueberries and peaches into the batter.
• Drop the batter onto a buttered skillet to form into 3" round pancakes.
• Flip, serve, and enjoy!

These Healthier Blueberry Peach Pancakes are almost as easy to make as opening a box of premade pancake mix, only these are SO much better and better for you!

Why this recipe works

These were some of the best pancakes I've ever made, and you'd never even know there were healthy ingredients in there unless you looked at the recipe!

Now that's what I call a winner, winner, breakfast-for-dinner, dinner!
