The longer you sit on celery and kefir, the more difficult it is to refrain from forbidden pancakes with butter, sour cream or jam. We support the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, so we share recipes for diet pancakes that will help you stay on track. But first, a few simple rules:
- Remember that pancakes are a carbohydrate dish that is best eaten in the morning, ideal for breakfast.
- For diet pancakes, it is better to use only proteins from eggs, after beating them well with a mixer.
- You can reduce the calorie content of pancakes by replacing ordinary flour with buckwheat, oatmeal, amaranth, rye or flaxseed. Durum wheat flour will also be more appropriate in diet pancakes.
- Choose skim milk better, or with a fat content not higher than 3.2%.
- Fry the pancakes in new pans with a good non-stick coating. This will help reduce oil use. Also, by adding a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the dough, you can forget about using oil during the frying process itself.
- Remember that the filling must also comply with dietary guidelines. Forget butter, sugar, jam, condensed milk or fatty sour cream. Replace them with low-fat cheese or cottage cheese, vegetables, fish, boiled or baked turkey and chicken breasts, fresh fruits. For a sweet filling, try combinations of apples with cinnamon and honey, oranges with cloves, or cranberries with honey. Apples can be pre-baked in the oven, and oranges can be simmered a little in a pan with spices.
- Don't use yeast, it is very high in calories and is not required for delicious pancakes.
