Get ready to enjoy Pancake Day without the guilt! Follow these expert tips for a nutrition-packed treat.

Pancake Tuesday is coming up and whether you’re about to give up your favourite foods for Lent or simply want a healthier pancake, here are some options to help you enjoy a treat without the need for a guilty confession! H&F has teamed up with top food bloggers Dannii Martin (Hungryhealthyhappy.com) and Jemma Andrew-Adiamah (Celeryandcupcakes.com) for some handy tips and tricks that are sure to impress!

1. Experiment with different flours

Jemma: ‘Give your pancakes a higher nutritional profile by cooking with different alternatives to regular flour such as spelt, coconut, almond and quinoa flour or even protein powder if you are making American style ones.’

Dannii: ‘If you’re looking for a really light and grain-free pancake, you can make a pancake with just one mashed banana and two eggs, try to stick to the 1:2 ratio. It doesn’t have the same consistency as a regular pancake, as it’s more eggy, but the banana makes it really sweet and it’s a nice flourless alternative.’

2. Change your cooking oil

Jemma: ‘Make your pancakes healthier by changing the kind of oil that you cook them in. Avocado and coconut oil are very popular at the moment because they are a great source of healthy fats that are a huge benefit to your body.’

Dannii: ‘Instead of using butter, I use the Fry Lite butter spray (£1.72, Waitrose.com) to make my pancakes. At just one calorie a spray, you can save those extra calories for the toppings.'

3. Watch out for the toppings

Jemma: ‘Swap processed sugars for natural alternatives like date nectar, agave syrup and maple syrup to add some sweetness to your pancakes. Fresh or dried fruits, nuts and seeds can also add a delicious natural flavour and are a healthier source of sugar. Mixing in some fresh fruits like frozen berries, chopped apples or mashed banana to your pancake mix increases the amount of vitamins, dietary fibre and antioxidants they contain -plus, by adding fruits you’re also adding to your 5-a-day!’

Dannii: ‘If I am wanting some chocolate on my pancakes, I drizzle over some Choc Shot (£3.59, Hollandandbarrett.com) with is made mostly from fruit and gives you a great chocolate fix.'

4. Go savoury

Jemma: ‘When we think of pancakes we immediately imagine topping them with sugary syrups and chocolate, but pancakes can be savoury too. If you’re trying to tame your sweet tooth and cut down the sugar these are a great option. Add in some vegetables and spices to create a delicious nutritional alternative.’

Dannii: ‘Consider making some cheese and leek pancakes for a change. Use mature cheese, as it’s stronger which means you do not need to use as much.’

 

So how to make a treat healthy? Nope don't want to.

 

Thought this was another thread about Denise's tits.

 

Outrageous suggestion 1...."use Fry Lite instead of butter". Er....no.

Outrageous suggestion 2...."use mature cheese as it's stronger, which means you don't need to use as much" Stronger = nicer = use more.

Shut it down

 

**** the lot off and have a kebab in a large yorkshire pudding

 

Beautiful in its simplicity

 

It's ****ing DENICE

Where the **** have you been?

 

He's been on a Denise spelling course

 

White flour, full milk, 1 egg, one egg yolk.

Cover in what you are like.

**** the stupidity of pretending for one day.

But...... fry lite for starting the pan is good, toss first cake and go do rest on dry pan for best pancakes then add butter after I 5hink.

 

Sick.

 

The banana one sounds interesting actually.. Banana and egg and that's it! Do wonder how it would keep its shape though?

 

There slots of fibre in the banana.. you've have to mash the **** out of it though to make an actual batter...

I could not be arsed.

it should take a minute to make a batter and 30mins to let it settle.

You'd never make it out alive!

 

What a way to go though!

 

Both? I'd call that pancaked

 

As foreplay I bet she'd love you lifting those rolls of fat up and licking the sweat out....






Anyway...pancakes....****ing grim. Any dish than can be improved with a squirt of Jif Lemon doesn't belong in the 21st Century ffs.

 

I presume some other mod ok'd this **** by now.
