Oh Pancakes! How much I love you – do you love pancakes?
One of my favourite parts of the weekend, is having yummy, healthy Spelt Pancakes with a cup of tea.
We often think of pancakes with a breaky treat but you can enjoy eery bite with a healthy option.
This recipe is a light, fluffy and totally comfort by having a natural choice for breakfast. While pancakes font have a reputation as a healthy option, this recipe still gives you nutrients that can benehfit your health.
Spelt flour is a great option to substitute for other flours such as whole wheat flours. Spelt flour is much more densely packed with nutrients than the regular wheat flour and gives you a super charges breafst otion to start your day. An extra bonus is that spelt is sweeter than regular wheat flour and has a mild, butty flavour too. Its a lighter grain which helps to have fluffier, lighter pancakes.
A tip is to be aware of how much sugar, processed or natural, are topped on top 🙂
