Healthy Eating From Fiona Haynes, your About Healthy Eating Editor Pancakes may not be a health food, but they can be a part of a healthy back-to-school (or weekend) breakfast. Depending on your dietary requirements, pancakes can be adjusted to suit many diets as you can see below. Whole Wheat Pancakes Almost everyone loves pancakes, but let's be honest, they're not the healthiest of breakfast foods, especially when they're added to a full plate of bacon, sausage and eggs. You can make pancakes healthier, however, by switching out white flour for whole wheat flour. The end result is fluffy and delicious pancakes with added fiber. Top with some warmed maple syrup and fresh fruit. No need for bacon and eggs!
