Most of us don’t know that our ultimate favorite breakfast treat, pancakes, are made with the three “dangerous whites”, namely sugar, flour and salt. These conventional ingredients are sometimes indispensible in recipes despite the warning that these could be detrimental to our health. Experts recommend limiting our intake of these substances. As much as possible we should find healthy alternatives to sugar, flour and salt. But worry no more; we can still enjoy pancakes given that there are many ways to minimize the 3 dangerous whites. All we need is the right knowledge and patience in finding the right alternative ingredient. So now, here are some ways to make healthy pancakes without using so much of flour, sugar and salt.  o Instead of using 1 cup of white flour or pancake mix, just use 1/3 cup or less and substitute the rest 2/3 cup with equal portions of healthier flours. Healthy flours include whole wheat, corn flour and quinoa. You may also use equal portions of oat bran, rice bran and whey protein. All these ingredients can be found in grocery stores and health food stores. o Instead of using egg whites, use whole eggs and add one extra egg than what the recipe requires. This adds more protein to your pancakes. o To boost flavors, add healthy seasonings like cinnamon, vanilla extract, etc. o Don’t forget to add milk for more protein and calcium. o Once the batter is well-incorporated and you’re all set to fry the pancakes, heat your non stick skillet and use vegetable oil or virgin coconut oil instead of butter in frying the pancakes. o Instead of refined white sugar, use just one or two tablespoons of brown sugar. o To add sweetness, you can pour over some healthy sweet toppings on your pancakes including fresh blueberries, sliced bananas, strawberries, sliced apples or apple sauce.   When it comes to pleasing your family’s appetite, do not just settle for less or mediocrity. Always go for the best recipes that will leave great impressions to your kids, husband and in-laws.
