Why I consider my Pancakes as healthy?
Well, let’s start with the flour, instead of the normal wheat flour, which is sometimes even bleached and has almost not nutritional impact on your body, only calories, I work with a whole wheat one. Meaning the entire wheat core is used, including skin. And this is the important part, all the essential vitamins and minerals are within the skin and this is what we want! Check also “Whole Grain” here.
Secondly, instead of refined sugar, I will use coconut sugar to sweeten the recipe. Find further information to refined sugar and alternatives in this post here.
Lastly I am adding some protein powder to my recipe, which gives the recipe more stability and I can reduce the amount on flour.
FAQ to my recipe
Of course you can, I only like the “nutty” taste of the almond drink within my pancakes
Just replace the flour with a gluten-free flour, made out of rice for example.
Absolutely not, you can leave it away, but you will need to add 1-2 tbsp more on flour.
