Everyone loves pancakes, especially on the weekend when you have a little bit more time to do something a little bit special for breakfast.
The problem though? Pancakes are not exactly healthy. A typical pancake recipe is white flour, sugar, eggs and milk plus your choice of sweet topping. That means carbs, sugar and cholesterol.
This pancake variation inspired by Janella Purcell brings together a favourite with a healthy, cholesterol free option that is also suitable for most special dietary requirements including being gluten-free and lactose-free.
A batch makes about 14 very filling pancakes which means no need to go back for seconds, and you can feed a family with them. Win-win.

Hubby Tip
- Keep any extra pancakes in an airtight container at room temperature if you are going to eat them within a few days. Otherwise freeze them. When you are ready to eat them, reheat them in the toaster!
