What You Should Know

You'll spot this pack in the organic or frozen breakfast/baby-food aisle — an 8 oz ready-to-warm mini pancake aimed at busy mornings and picky eaters. It reads wholesome and nostalgic with soft, fluffy texture and sweet blueberry bits, but the use of powdered milk, baking mixes, emulsifiers, natural flavors and processed fruit bits hints at industrial processing typical of ultra-processed items.

Common Questions about Organic Blueberry Mini Pancakes, 8 OZ

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! These mini pancakes are made with organic ingredients and contain no added sugars or artificial preservatives, which is a win in my book. At just 40 calories per serving, they're a lower-calorie option for breakfast or a snack, but they're not particularly high in protein or fiber. So, if you're looking for something to fill you up, you might want to pair them with some nut butter or yogurt!
