Clean Eating Buttermilk Pancakes provide a healthy source of carbohydrates and great fuel to start your day!

I subscribe to Clean Eating magazine to get more healthy meal ideas.  It is full of great recipes that don’t use highly processed carbs and refined sugars.  I got this Clean Eating Buttermilk Pancake recipe from their website and adapted it, making a few substitutions to suit my taste buds and it turned out great.

I also added a little water to the original recipe.  It seemed a bit too thick.  I love the taste of these pancakes and they provide you with a healthier, wholesome carbohydrate source.  Serve them with a small drizzle of real maple syrup and top with fresh berries for added nutrition.

I’m crazy about the Wyman’s wild frozen blueberries for topping pancakes.  I used them to make my favorite Blueberry Compote, a simple and easy recipe without refined sugar that takes pancakes to a whole new level.  You definitely have to try it on your favorite pancakes and waffles!
