Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes are a delicious healthy form of spelled pancakes. The pancakes are made quickly. They are more fluffy than the original ones and healthier. They are so tasty that you do not need to serve them with any additives, although maple syrup is good for everything.
How to choose the best ingredients for Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin: you can choose classic pumpkins, but also any edible variety. We choose pumpkins fresh, without any discoloration.
Wholegrain spelled flour: wholemeal spelled flour is lighter in baking than regular wholemeal flour. It contains less gluten. Spelled poppy seed is a variety that is not enriched with gluten. Therefore, baked goods are healthier.
Erythritol: Erythritol is a natural sugar obtained from the fruit. Its advantage is that it has no calories whatsoever. It is a little less sweet than regular sugar, so it is added a little more to baking.
Coconut oil: choose unrefined, cold-pressed coconut oil. It is much healthier and contains many more valuable ingredients.
Tips and Tricks for Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
- The rest of the pumpkin can be portioned and frozen for the next baking.
- Instead of spelled flour, you can use oat flour. I always grind a whole packet of oatmeal and use it later for baking.
