Maslenitsa week continues, all the screens are trumpeting about pancakes and Maslenitsa, but beauties who are on diets or are simply afraid for their figure still do not dare to treat themselves to pancakes. But in vain! Firstly, if you want, you shouldn’t limit yourself so much; it’s better to eat a little than to break down at one fine moment. Secondly, there are recipes for wonderful diet pancakes that will not harm your figure. It is best to cook thin pancakes without yeast. Although thick, fluffy pancakes are very tasty, yeast is very high in calories, and it also causes fermentation in the intestines, so if you also have stomach problems or flatulence, then you should avoid such dishes.
If you still want fluffy pancakes, you can make them by adding baking powder.
Tip for those with a sweet tooth: to avoid eating excess sugar, you can replace it in pancake recipes with a sweetener at the rate of 1 tsp. = 1 sweetener tablet. And as an addition to pancakes, it is better to eat fresh fruits and berries
Today's selection contains 5 recipes for thin diet pancakes.
Dietary pancakes made from buckwheat flour
These pancakes are easy to whip up in a food processor, blender, or by hand and don't take long to prepare. They have a nice nutty flavor and a mottled texture thanks to the buckwheat. For such pancakes, you can use either sweet fruit fillings or regular ones: cheese and ham.
For buckwheat flour pancakes you will need:
- 1/3 cup oat or bran flour
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar (or 2 sweetener tablets, for those who are completely on a diet)
- 3/4 cup milk (again, if you are on a diet, you can use low-fat milk)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. olive oil or butter
- salt
Preparation:
1. In a food processor, blender or large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
2. Pour the milk, beat the eggs in a food processor, blender or bowl and mix everything well so that there are no lumps of flour left. The consistency of the dough should be like liquid sour cream.
3. Add oil to the dough so as not to fry in oil; the oil in the dough itself will prevent the pancakes from burning. But of course, to fry pancakes you also need a good frying pan.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and fry the pancakes on both sides until cooked, 2 minutes.
