My mornings just got a whole lot easier and tastier with my Healthy Pancake mix recipe. Say goodbye to rushed breakfasts and hello to a stack of delicious, fluffy pancakes in minutes. This premix is a game-changer for busy households, providing a convenient solution that doesn’t compromise on taste or nutrition. It’s time to make your breakfast super yummy and convenient with this no all purpose flour, no refined sugar instant chocolate pancake mix. Packed with oats this recipe makes the fluffiest eggless pancakes in no time and will definitely make you ditch the store-bought version at the very first go.
INGREDIENTS USED IN HEALTHY PANCAKE MIX
Jaggery Powder
The healthy sweetener that I’m using for this recipe is jaggery. It is highly nutritious and any day a better substitute to white refined sugar. It also adds a nice brown color to the batter and pancakes. It also adds in to the moisture of the pancakes. I have used this jaggery powder but you can use any.
Whole wheat flour
I have substituted all purpose flour with whole wheat flour here. It is a little more dense in structure but definitely a healthier alternative. Since all flours absorb liquid differently, the wet ingredients need to be calculated accordingly. Whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture which is why the quantity of liquid ingredients is more. You can decrease the quantity in case you wish to make these pancakes with all-purpose flour.
Oats
When ground or used in a flour form, oats contribute to the texture of the pancakes. They add a slight chewiness and thickness, creating a more substantial and satisfying pancake. They are rich in essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants too. Including oats in the premix adds variety to the ingredients, diversifying the nutrient profile and providing a broader range of health benefits.
Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder is the primary source of rich chocolate flavor in the pancakes. It imparts a deep, decadent taste that elevates the overall enjoyment of the pancakes. Using cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips in the premix reduces added sugars and provides the rich chocolate flavor without the extra calories and fat.
Leavening agents
Leavening agents, such as baking powder or baking soda, release carbon dioxide gas when they come into contact with moisture and heat. This gas creates bubbles in the batter, causing it to rise and giving the pancakes a light, airy texture. Without these agents, pancakes can turn out flat, dense, and heavy. You can buy the baking soda from here.
EQUIPMENTS USED FOR MAKING HEALTHY PANCAKE MIX
The recipe doesn’t call for any equipment as such except for a strong blender. I have my Morphy-Richard hand blender for mixing everything together.
These measuring spoons and measuring cups are a staple in my kitchen and I use them to measure all of my recipes.
I have used this non-stick pan to cook my pancakes.
TIPS TO MAKE HEALTHY PANCAKE MIX
- Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients to ensure an even distribution. This helps prevent uneven texture in the final pancakes.
- Depending on personal preferences, you can adjust the amount of sweetener.
- Leave room for customization. Include optional add-ins like chocolate chips, berries, nuts, or spices in separate compartments for variety.
- Consider adding protein powder or sources like almond flour or chia seeds for a protein-packed version of the premix.
- Use airtight containers, resealable bags, or vacuum-sealed pouches to keep the premix fresh and protected from moisture.
