How to get the pancakes right, free of sugar
- Make changes to the consistency of the batter: If the batter is very thick, you can add a bit more milk. If it is thin, then add a bit more flour.
- Use Baking Powder That Is Not Old: To ensure fluffy pancakes, see to it that the baking powder you have is not old or expired.
- Always Use Oil On Pans: One of the common errors people make when making pancakes is not greasing the cooking surface between layered batches. The result is terrible and can ruin your pancakes.
- Heated Pancakes Where Applicable: When serving large quantities, covered plates or a heated oven of upto 200 degrees Fahrenheit can keep the pancakes safe from going cold until serving.
FAQs about Sugar-Free Pancakes:
Is the benefit of gluten possible with these pancakes?
Of course, especially if we are dealing with whole wheat flour, it is entirely possible to use a gluten free flour blend in the baking.
How about looking for possibilities of replacing unsweetened applesauce?
Another great replacement that is similar in texture is mashed bananas or pureed dates which can be used for pancake batter naturally.
If I wanted to, could I create these pancakes with a vegan diet?
In order to shift the pancake to a vegan nature, the milk should be plant based and add a ‘flax egg’ which is easy to make (Simply: mix 1 tbsp flaxseeds and 3 tbsp water, let sit.)
If possible, what options are there to use above sweet sugar to increase the taste of the pancakes?
To add flavor, add ‘cinnamon and nutmeg’ or unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter without using up sugar.
