Pancakes for Breakfast…Yes Please!
What a traditional recipe has: Refined carbohydrates, added sugar, added fats and oils, trans fats.
What this healthy version has: Protein, naturally-occurring fibre, healthy fats.
Like most people, I LOVE pancakes especially topped with Canadian Maple syrup! Unfortunately, traditional pancakes are made with refined flours, added sugars, and poor-quality vegetable oils. Not only that, most people top off their flapjacks with margarine (which contains trans fats) and sugar-laden syrup or fruit sauces with added sugars.
With that in mind, I knew that I had to come up with a better option so that we can still enjoy this weekend favourite treat!
