No more blood sugar swings with maple syrup....here's what I just discovered 4 myself...

The last time I had maple syrup on pancakes I literally thought I was going to die...it could well have been been an egg, or milk starting to turn, not ready to warn the nose yet, but it was a bad event I never wish to repeat.

I just had pancakes and tried again, this time I whipped up some yogurt with some maple syrup and spread that on our whole wheat pancakes....it works...no crazy blood sugar symptoms this time... I thought it worth sharing for encouragement for someone else.

My husband doesn't care for yogurt, so I mixed in enough that you can barely taste the maple syrup but you don't taste the yogurt at all. It was almost like maple butter but not sweetness in your mouth like you'd have with the syrup alone.

I love yogurt with pancakes. Marsha, do the pancakes have some whole wheat in them

--pastry flour perhaps, to slow things down even more.

Here's the scoop...I use Hodgson Mill WWInsta-Bake variety mix or their WW buttermilk pancake mix.

When I had such a reaction (which I'd never had before...that's why some folks thinks it was a bad egg or milk...I used the last of the 1/2 and 1/2 which may have been the issue because milk has never been a problem)....at that time I used the Hodgson Mill WW Buttermilk pancake mix...it has WW flour, whole grain yellow corn meal.

The Hodgson Mill I used tonight is their variety baking mix with buttermilk..it contains WW flour. (strange thing, I've used this before with big puffy pancakes..tonight they were as flat as the countertop!....strange)...wonder if they forgot to put something in the mix!

Great idea... We usually drizzle ours with yogurt, jam, and honey--maple syrup is $$$$$$, here!

That's good to know, Marsha. I wonder why that is, the fat in the yogurt, maybe?
