Pancakes…an iconic staple at the North American breakfast table and restaurants everywhere. For many people, nothing beats a good flap jack with plenty of butter and maple syrup. However, the ingredients are often suspect for those trying to get healthy. Learn how to make delicious healthy pancakes, without the highly questionable ingredients.
Purpose
Pancakes are often made of wheat and plenty of refined sugar. To avoid this bad food combination, we use a more digestible flour mix (gluten free), a good source of fibre, and some sugar regulating spices. In the end you have a delicious pancake that largely avoids the digestive issues, satisfies your craving for a filling and slightly sweet breakfast, and is more nutrient rich than their inferior counterparts. Enjoy them in moderation.
