Healthy Pancake Recipe - No refined Sugar or flour
Guilt-free indulgence with our wholesome pancake recipe. Crafted with nutritious ingredients and cooked to golden-brown perfection on a low flame, these pancakes are both satisfying and nourishing.
Ingredients
- 1+½ cup Milk
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1+¾ cup Flour (I opt for whole wheat, oat, almond, or regular all-purpose flour, depending on what's on hand)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
- ¼ cup Sugar Feel free to add ¾ cup of sugar for a sweeter taste, but I prefer my pancakes less sweet.
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil or Butter your choice
- ⅓ cup Hot Water
Instructions
Prepare the buttermilk
- Start with 1½ cups of milk in a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and mix lightly. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
- While the milk mixture rests, prepare your dry ingredients.
Prepare the dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine: 1¾ cups of your preferred flour,1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of your choice of sugar
- If you prefer sweeter pancakes, use 3/4 cup of sugar instead. I opt for less sweetness, so I've added only 1/4 cup.
- Using a spoon, gently mix all the dry ingredients until they are nicely combined.
Combine the Wet and dry Ingredients
- Once the dry mix is ready, it’s time to bring it all together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Start with the prepared milk (you can skip the vinegar and opt for plain milk instead) Then, pour in 1/3 cup of hot water and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil or melted butter.
- Grab your trusty spoon and begin mixing everything together. Blend thoroughly until a smooth pancake batter forms. This step is crucial for achieving fluffy, perfectly textured pancakes that will melt in your mouth with every bite
- Following these steps ensures your pancakes turn out just right—light, airy, and deliciously golden brown.
Time to Cook
- Heat a non-stick pan over low flame and lightly brush it with vegetable oil. Allow the pan to heat up gently. Once hot, scoop out 1/4 cup of batter and pour it onto the pan. No need to spread the batter—it will naturally form a circular shape.
- Be patient and let the pancake cook slowly on low heat. After a couple of minutes, air bubbles will start to appear on the surface, indicating it’s time to flip the pancake. Cook the other side for another couple of minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once all the pancakes are ready stack them on a plate and serve hot
- Drizzle them with maple syrup, dust them with powdered sugar, or add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, or sliced bananas, and if you feel like cheating on your diet have it with some ice cream and chocolate sauce.
- Enjoy !!
