Typical pancake mixes rely on refined carbohydrates, the favored fuel for the biological machinery that builds new fat cells. Bob’s is a better breed, a slow-digesting flapjack fashioned from protein- and fiber-loaded whole grains. Maximize the nutritional impact by swapping butter for peanut butter and spooning Greek yogurt on top. Then limit the syrup to 1 tablespoon—a slow, methodical drizzle will make it seem like more than it is.
