Starting Your Morning Off Right
Three Toppings for Pancakes and Waffles
Using these as toppings for your waffles or pancakes reduces your sugar consumption (compared to using
maple syrup), and they add fiber and 1-2 servings of fruit to your day.
Berry Sauce for Waffles/Pancakes (3)
6 C frozen mixed berries
½ C maple syrup
1-1½ C hot water (to make frozen fruit easier to blend)
Purée or pulse all ingredients in your high-powered blender until desired consistency is achieved (smooth or
chunky). Serve over waffles or pancakes. (See photo on page 289.)
Quick Raw Applesauce for Waffles/Pancakes (3)
4 large Jonathan or Fuji apples, washed, cored, and quartered
1 C water
C fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
C maple syrup
Pulse all ingredients in your high-powered blender for a chunky sauce. Serve over waffles or pancakes.
Fruit Sauce for Waffles/Pancakes (1)
1 large (29 oz.) can fruit cocktail (no sugar added), including the liquid
¼ C arrowroot powder
½ C water
½ C white grape juice concentrate (no sugar added)
Pulse all ingredients in your high-powered blender until almost smooth. Cook over medium heat until the
mixture thickens, stirring often. Serve over waffles or pancakes (and optionally top with fresh raspberries and
plain yogurt).
