What should be in the composition of PP-pancakes?

Usually pancakes are made of eggs, sugar, milk, butter and wheat flour. These are the main ingredients, but, of course, there are many variants with different additives. Unfortunately, a person who strictly follows the diet and adheres to a healthy diet, does not use almost any of the above products. In this case, they can be replaced.

Wheat flour. Any whole-grain flour will do: corn, buckwheat, rice (from brown or red unprocessed rice), oat flour. Choose flours accordingly to how your body tolerates gluten.

Sunflower oil. Replace with oils that can withstand high heat treatment: ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil, or avocado oil.

Cow’s milk. It can well be replaced with vegetable milk: coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, and so on.

Sugar. Instead of it we use either topinambour syrup, coconut sugar or sweeteners.

What to serve them with?

Even if you stick to the right diet, you can find quite a few toppings for pancakes. It can be even the most ordinary sour cream, if the body tolerates dairy products well. It is quite a useful product: it contains fats useful for the hormonal system, and there is little lactose, unlike milk. If you are interested in a plant-based option, you can replace sour cream with coconut yogurt.

Honey or coconut condensed milk will also work. The latter can be easily prepared by yourself: cook coconut cream and coconut sugar on low heat for 15 minutes after boiling – and a healthy alternative to the classic “boiled” is ready.

In addition, pancakes go well with homemade jam and berries. You can use frozen: whip in a blender with sweetener or vanilla to a puree.
