Yuck. My flour of choice at present is sprouted whole wheat flour. But it&#8217;s still just flour. How might we get the carb load down and the fiber and nutrition load up?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often used cooked apples as a topping for pancakes, but how might we do that with raw apples? This morning I grated two Granny Smith apples (the <a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/?p=7363\">KitchenAid shredder<\/a> made quick and easy work of it). I tossed the apples in maple syrup with some cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p>That meant one pancake for breakfast instead of two, plus two fewer apples waiting in the refrigerator for me to figure out what to do with them. The apples were yummy prepared that way. There are worse crimes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7581\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"731\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-2.jpg\" alt=\"pancakes-2\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-2-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-2-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7582\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-3.jpg\" alt=\"pancakes-3\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pancakes-3-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no way to make pancakes into a truly healthy breakfast.
