Nutritionists call Maslenitsa, New Year and other holidays with traditional treats a real test for digestion.
If we talk about pancakes, then in addition to the fact that they themselves are far from low-calorie, the filling also makes them heavier.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-category baker told whether it is possible to prepare diet pancakes.
There are several options that allow you to reduce the number of calories in pancakes.
Option with flour
Instead of premium wheat flour, you can use:
- rye flour,
- buckwheat,
- almond.
If you want, you can find a lot of other interesting options, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the pancakes will differ in taste and texture.
However, unlike regular flour, these products are rich in fiber, which is essential for health.
It is also important to remember that you need to add about half of the total volume of wheat flour to buckwheat or rye flour to increase the gluten content.
Option with water
Usually pancakes are baked with milk (fresh or sour) or kefir.
In the case of proper nutrition, it is better to use water, even carbonated water.
With carbonated mineral water, pancakes turn out even more airy.
You also need to limit the amount of sugar and eliminate high-calorie fillings.
