Whole Wheat Pancake

Is there a kid out there who does not like well-made hot or warm pancakes?Also adults like me are also in love with this breakfast option. You cannot imagine the variety of twists that one can bring to basic pancakes using fruits, nuts and spreads. Whole Wheat  Pancake is an interesting option whenyou want to avoid  white wheat flour.  The fibre content of the whole wheat is more digestive system-friendly. Also it  has an interesting texture you will not find in the white wheat flour.

I was pleasantly surprised at the light fluffy texture of these whole wheat pancakes.  I added some coconut shreds each bite you take is accompanied by some crunchiness.What is not to like about this Whole Wheat Pancake?. The use of honey just completes this fairly clean breakfast. The pancakes themselves were not too sweet, so the controlled drizzle of honey just before eating allows one to minimize the sugar level in this dish. Why not try this Whole wheat Coconut Pancakes with Caramelized Apples at your next breakfast meal?

Enjoy!
