Did You Know…???

• Fiber helps to prevent constipation and helps to maintain bowel health.
• Fiber helps to lower cholesterol levels by lowering low-density lipoprotein, or “bad,” cholesterol levels. Studies also have shown that high-fiber foods may have other heart-health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure and inflammation.
• Fiber helps control blood sugar levels. In people with diabetes, fiber — particularly soluble fiber — can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels.

The secret to getting these pancakes extra fluffy is letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. During the resting period, starch molecules in the flour are absorbing the liquid in the batter. This causes them to swell and gives the batter a thicker, more viscous consistency; resulting in fluffy pancakes.

My favorite way to enjoy these Fluffy Whole Wheat Apple Pecan Pancakes is to top them with a hefty serving of freshly, sliced apples, pecans, and maple syrup! Go ahead and add these Fluffy Whole Wheat Apple Pecan Pancakes to your weekend!  You’ll be glad you did!
