Healthy Pancakes?

[Sunhat]

Is there such a thing as healthy pancakes? I do not like them with sugar, just neat lemon juice. Any suggestions?

I think there is a pancake recipe using almond flour on the food recipe forum here

That would be impossible, wholemeal flour has just about hit the shops here, I think I will be long dead before exotic almond flour arrived!!! but thanks for the reply. I do have some maize flour, I wondered about that?

It depends on how high your BG levels are but for me, wholemeal flour is OK but, it has to be 100% wholemeal and a lot of it is actually mixed with white flour.

Although I haven't tried it for pankcakes, wholewheat durum flour, semolina, is low GI. It is much more coarsely milled than baking flours and that makes a big difference to the rate at which it is digested.

There are plenty of recipes for semolina pancakes.

Almond flour is the same thing as ground almonds. Would have thought you could find them in Spain.

I tried flourless pancakes the other day-just two bananas and two eggs....mix em up and fry them as normal. They taste yummy and so easy to make! I only needed a couple units of insulin for it and they're great as a pre-exercise meal

Have you thought about looking online to buy it? It may be worth checking, but possibly the postage might be a bit high for you...

Almond flour is just ground almonds.

There's a crepe recipe at http://www.lowcarbdiabetic.co.uk/Recipes.htm that uses just ricotta cheese and eggs with cinnamon to flavour it and a splash of milk if the mixture's too thick. I've been planning to try it for ages.

I make them with ground almond, baking powder and eggs. I do add a little white flour as it improves texture and sticks them together

Almond flour is just ground almonds readily available in all supermarkets. You need psyllium husk though. I sourced this at our corner shop but the lady was a little taken aback as it's other use is as a laxative so I wouldn't stray too far from a loo until you find out what the effect is!

Using 1-2 tbsp of psyllium husk want make your tummy upset, no risk of running for the loo.

It tasted delicious but we both needed the loo rather a lot. Coincidence perhaps? Maybe we'll try again but it did put us off! Lol!
