Thank you for sharing!!

Just uttering the words “pancakes” in my house is enough to cause a small stampede. Pancakes are a dish that my entire family loves. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner honestly doesn’t even matter. I love to make a different variety of pancakes for their taste buds, and this Whole Wheat Granola and Mixed Berry Pancakes recipe didn’t disappoint.

This recipe reminds me of old-fashioned pancakes with just a few extra ingredients mixed in. There isn’t an overabundance of sugar and I love how applesauce is used as more of a natural sweetener.

The taste of this Whole Wheat Granola and Mixed Berry Pancakes recipe is top notch. While I know that they are healthy, they still taste good, too! My kids don’t even notice a difference between the flavors and actually love the texture of the added granola. Top it with the berries of your choice, and you’ve got a meal worth slowing down and eating!

Why not make breakfast start off on the right foot by making this pancake recipe? Your family will appreciate you taking the time to make them such a fancy dish, and you’ll love that you’re getting some healthy ingredients into the tummies of your children as well!
