I can only handle pancakes once in a while, even though Johan and the kids eat them every single Saturday. Part of my dislike is because I can't stand the idea of pouring sugar sauce over something, much less a food that's already almost entirely unhealthy. Of course my kids could hardly stand it, but I think that's mostly because it's a change in routine, not because it tastes so bad. Besides, if they love fruit smoothies, they would also like this.
1 cup of frozen fruit (I used 4-Berry Blend by President's Choice)
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp corn starch
I cooked the fruit until it was thawed and softened. I used my hand blender to get rid of the chunks and to mix in the corn starch. Then I added the sugar. I let it cook a little longer until it started to thicken a bit.
Johan and I ate it on pancakes with banana. No syrup. So delicious!
The kids had a little bit on their pancakes, but with lots of syrup, and no bananas.

My favorite pannycakes are vegan multigrain with real maple syrup, bananas and pecans. Sometimes I'll have them with peanut butter and a bit of honey or jam. There are ways to make them more healthy, but it can be tricky sometimes to get kids to eat it.
