Have you been searching for a simple, guilt-free breakfast for the whole family? The frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes can be a quick yet acceptable substitute for homemade blueberry pancakes, especially since they contain no preservatives. Available at most grocery stores, these pancakes can be found in the breakfast section of the frozen aisle. They are average in size, approximately 4 inches in diameter, and very easy to prepare.

Cost

The average cost of the frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes ranges from $2.50 to $3.50 per box. Each box contains 12 frozen pancakes meaning individual pancakes range in cost from about 21 cents to 29 cents each.

Preparation

If you own and operate a microwave, then you can easily prepare the Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes. They are to be kept frozen until you are ready to use them. This is ideal for those of you that do not need to make 12 pancakes at once, as you do not have to worry about them spoiling when you are not able to use all of them at one time.

Unlike some other frozen foods, the Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes are easily separated, even when first taken out of the freezer. I had no problem separating out the exact amount I needed for my two children.

The box spells out instructions for heating one to three pancakes at a time. One pancake requires 30 to 45 seconds while heating three pancakes will take approximately one minute to one minute and 10 seconds in the microwave. The preparation was so simple for these pancakes that I was able to focus on other tasks while they were cooking.

Taste

As it states on the box, the frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes are made with real blueberries and natural fruit flavors. The taste of these pancakes is somewhat comparable to homemade ones, which means you can enjoy blueberry pancakes year round, not just during blueberry season.

The most surprising attribute of the frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes is that they do not need syrup to make them appetizing. In fact, I never use syrup when eating them. My children gobble them up, but of course, they like syrup on their pancakes.

Nutrition

The frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes offer individuals that count calories a nice alternative for breakfast. Three pancakes are considered one serving and total only 250 calories. The fact that they taste great without syrup means you will not have to take in additional calories to have an enjoyable breakfast. Having no preservatives in them, the frozen Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes will help you feel less guilty about serving your children a quick pre-made breakfast.

Eating these pancakes will provide you with 15 percent of your daily thiamin, phosphorus and folate. The Aunt Jemima Blueberry Pancakes will also supply you with 10 percent of your niacin, iron and riboflavin.
