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

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.
 
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.
