Pancakes are a very satisfying and delicious dish. However, nutritionists do not advise using them during various diets and for weight loss due to their high calorie content. How to reduce it?
What could be better than drinking hot tea with delicious pancakes on a cold winter evening. But for their preparation, premium flour is used, which allows the body to quickly absorb carbohydrates. This can lead to obesity. Pancakes also negatively affect the work of the pancreas and liver due to their high calorie content. A single pancake made with whole milk can contain up to 400 calories. Therefore, in order to avoid many problems, the calorie content of pancakes is lowered.
How to lower the calorie content of pancakes
1. Use milk with the lowest fat content for cooking. It can also be diluted with water, and in the case of using homemade milk, it is better to abandon it completely and completely replace it with water.
2. Use the minimum amount of eggs or only whites. For making regular pancakes, one or two eggs will be enough.
3. Try to replace wheat flour with buckwheat, which will bring much more benefit to the human body. If, nevertheless, such a substitution is unacceptable, then use the lowest grade wheat flour.
4. While kneading the dough, add a small amount of vegetable oil to it. This will prevent you from using it while frying and cook the pancakes in a completely dry skillet.
All these simple ways will help not only reduce the calorie content of pancakes, but also allow you to eat them at any time without harm to human health.
