When you think of pancakes, do you think of them as a healthy food?
I feel like most of you would say no way! Pancakes are a treat because they’re so many carbs and sugar and etc…
What would you say if I told you that I put pancakes on every single one of my clients custom meal plans? Yup.
And I probably eat them at least once per week!
Because we aren’t talking about Aunt Jemima boxed pancakes here folks. And I’m not referring to a loaded stack at IHOP…
I want to encourage you to think outside the box here. You can make pancakes using different ingredients and still stay on track with your health.
You can create them so they don’t spike your blood sugar or make you feel heavy, tired and like you need a nap after you eat them. And *bonus* they still taste good.
My favorite combo for pancakes is:
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
Add a dash of nut milk if batter is too thick (to desired pancake batter consistency)
Makes: ~ 3 x 6” cakes
Heat your pan up to medium and use butter or avocado spray to help pancakes not stick. You can also use this batter in a waffle maker. Serving size will vary depending on the size of pan you use but I usually get about 3 pancakes out of this.
Top it with berries, coconut yogurt and a drizzle of honey 🍯 🙌🏼
There are still so many other simple combos you can do no matter what your health goals are.
This is NOT ABOUT food restriction. This is about choosing better quality ingredients that fuel your body in the best way while still eating foods that you enjoy.
