HEALTHY PANCAKES

These easy healthy pancakes get their fluffy texture from whipped egg whites. Stack them high with fresh berries and a spoonful of low-fat yogurt

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 45m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 5

50g self-raising flour
50g wholemeal or wholegrain flour
2 small eggs, separated
150ml skimmed milk
berries and low-fat yogurt or fromage frais to serve

Steps:

  • Sift the flours into a bowl or wide jug and tip any bits in the sieve back into the bowl. Add the egg yolks and a splash of milk then stir to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk a little at a time so you don't make lumps in the batter.
  • Whisk the egg whites until they stand up in stiff peaks, then fold them carefully into the batter - try not to squash out all the air.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and pour in enough batter to make a pancake about 10 cm across. Cook for just under a minute until bubbles begin to pop on the surface and the edges are looking a little dry. Carefully turn the pancake over. If it is a bit wet on top, it may squirt out a little batter as you do so. In that case, leave it on the other side a little longer. Keep warm while you make the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favourite healthy toppings.

I loved this pancake recipe. Way better than a mix at the store but I wanted to cut a little of the fat. I make them with less butter, egg whites instead of a whole egg, and nonfat milk. They are so fluffy and tasty plus I feel great about giving them to my family.

Tips:

  • Use whole grains: Whole grain flours, such as oat flour, whole wheat flour, and buckwheat flour, are more nutritious than refined flours and provide more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Add protein: Protein-rich ingredients, such as eggs, Greek yogurt, and protein powder, can help keep you feeling full and satisfied after eating.
  • Incorporate fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables add sweetness, flavor, and nutrients to pancakes. Some popular choices include bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and spinach.
  • Use healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in coconut oil and avocado oil, can help improve the taste and texture of pancakes.
  • Limit added sugar: Added sugar is a major source of empty calories and can contribute to weight gain and other health problems. Use natural sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, or fruit, to sweeten pancakes.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make delicious and nutritious pancakes that are good for your health. Experiment with different ingredients and toppings to find your favorite combinations. With a little creativity, you can enjoy pancakes as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
