Pancakes typically don’t fall into the “healthy food” category, but there are ways to make them a lot healthier and to enjoy them without guilt. While traditional pancakes are packed with simple carbs and are a great option for an occasional treat, you can actually make protein-packed pancakes that are amazing for everyday breakfasts.
Add Kefir
Kefir is a recent healthy food craze, but there’s a good reason for that. It has probiotics and a lot of protein, so it’s a perfect option for making pancake topping. Just blend it together with a banana and pour it over your pancakes.
Sweet Potato
Try making 2-ingredient pancakes with sweet potato and eggs. Add cinnamon for flavor and you’ll have a nutritious, guilt-free meal whenever you feel like it.
Almond Flour
Instead of using wheat flour, make pancakes with almond flour. Swap sugar with stevia or honey and you’ll get the perfect low-carb pancakes you can eat as often as you want.
