Pancakes, Raspberry Compote & Whip Topping

My 10 Grain Pancake mix came yesterday, I was so happy and excited. I knew that Saturday Morning was definitely gonna be a Pancake morning.

The mix is super easy. Just mix the powder and water as it tells you to do so on the package. You are only suppose to mix it until it is smooth and do not over mix. It mixes together really easy. This is what it looks like mix together.

Here is one that has been flipped and one that is freshly poured. They bubble just like normal pancakes and get puffy.

Then of course I had to do a Fruit topping. The Thrive Cookbook had one that I wanted to try. Its called Berry Compote.

2 C of Thrive FD Berries (any variety)
1 C of Thrive Peach Drink or Apply Drink rehydrated
     (2T drink mix + 1 Cup water)
1/3 C of Thrive White Sugar

You combine them in a pan, bring to a boil stirring occasionally until it reaches syrup consistency. Here is a pic with it all combined

 And here is the after picture

 Yummy right? Well it was very good but I kind of was trying to do to many things at once so I kind of overcooked it so it was thick kind of like raspberry jam and when I pulled it off the heat it was still pretty runny and thickened as it cooled. So be careful to not cook it to long unless you want it really thick. My hubby loved it but I like my thinner.

Then I had to try whip topping which recipe is also in the book.

1/2 C of Ice Water
1/2 C Thrive Instant Milk, Dry
1/2 C Thrive Powdered Sugar
1t Vanilla Extract

Combine the water and Instant Milk. Beat at high speed for about 15-20 mins. Then add pwd sugar and vanilla extract and continue to mix until it it is thoroughly blended. Then it has you put it in the fridge to chill.

 Yes not very impressive huh..Well it does recommend putting it in a stand a lone mixer which I totally would have done BUT there was really wasn't much there for my kitchen aid to do it so I had to use my hand mixer. I totally should have made it last night because it was the thing I started last and didn't realize until I started the recipe that it had to be mixed for at least 15 mins. and I had to flip pancakes and mix it at the same time...So it wasn't very stiff and I gave up at the 13 mins mark but it could have used a few more minutes. But I thought it turned out pretty good. If you plan on doubling the batch then I would put it in a Kitchen Aid.


 Here is my masterpiece for breakfast! All of it made from Thrive Foods except the powder sugar because I do not have that product yet but working on it.

Oh and my 9 month old really like the pancakes, and I loved it because I could tare them into pieces and let her feed herself and not have to worry about the mess to clean up afterwards :)
