Frequently Asked Questions
As with all things, it depends on the ingredients you add. It’s totally possible to make super sugary and carb heavy pancakes that aren’t very good for you. Or, you can focus on incorporating healthier and more nutrient packed ingredients like whole wheat or low-carb flour alternatives, Greek yogurt and fruit!
To make your pancakes healthier, use minimal added sugar or natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup. You might also consider experimenting with sugar free sweeteners, such as stevia or monk fruit. Whole wheat or lower-carb flour options often work well in pancake recipes and Greek yogurt can create a moistening effect similar to oil (with way less calories)! Incorporate berries into your batter for more vitamins and minerals and don’t go too hard on the syrup topping.
Adding protein to pancakes is a great idea! Protein helps to make food hearty and filling which keeps your appetite at bay. And while I generally consider protein pancakes to be healthy, I still avoid them if there’s a ton of added sugar in the mix.
