low calorie gluten free pancakes

17th February 2015
Happy Pancake day you guys! OK so I’m gonna be honest, I have pancakes on the regular so today isn’t all that exciting for me. I find that they set me up for the day really nicely, stop me snacking and also kill my sugar cravings dead. So I thought I would share my usual every day gluten free low calorie option that doesn’t make me feel like I’ve committed “carbicide” too badly.   You will need; 3 Egg whites (48kcal) 75g Gluten free plain white flour – I use Doves Farm (254kcal) 100ml (Roughly) Alpro Coconut Milk (20kcal) Coconut oil  – I currently use Neal’d Yard 1 lemon half a tsp of Xylitol per pancake (5kcal)   1. Crack the egg whites into your blender of choice. 2. Add 75g of flour 3. Add The Coconut Milk, this is roughly done and I had until I get the right consistency. 4. Pop it all in the blender for 30 seconds. 5. Pour into a pan coated with a little coconut oil to avoid sticking. 6. Serve hot with a squeeze of Lemon and half a tea spoon of Xylitol.   So clearly the tub of Nutella was just for show and what I actually top my pancakes with is lemon and Xylitol, sorry to disappoint but it might not all be over just yet so please do read on. Now I really think they need to have a little reassess of the name “Xylitol” because to me it sounds all chemically and nasty but in actual fact its natural and found in most fruit and veg that we eat daily. It works our as a 1 for 1 substitute against sugar and pretty much tastes identical (it has a slightly cool and fresh feeling to it also) so it really […]

OK so I’m gonna be honest, I have pancakes on the regular so today isn’t all that exciting for me. I find that they set me up for the day really nicely, stop me snacking and also kill my sugar cravings dead. So I thought I would share my usual every day gluten free low calorie option that doesn’t make me feel like I’ve committed “carbicide” too badly.

 

You will need;

3 Egg whites (48kcal)

75g Gluten free plain white flour – I use Doves Farm (254kcal)

100ml (Roughly) Alpro Coconut Milk (20kcal)

Coconut oil  – I currently use Neal’d Yard

1 lemon

half a tsp of Xylitol per pancake (5kcal)

 

1. Crack the egg whites into your blender of choice.

2. Add 75g of flour

3. Add The Coconut Milk, this is roughly done and I had until I get the right consistency.

4. Pop it all in the blender for 30 seconds.

5. Pour into a pan coated with a little coconut oil to avoid sticking.

6. Serve hot with a squeeze of Lemon and half a tea spoon of Xylitol.

 

So clearly the tub of Nutella was just for show and what I actually top my pancakes with is lemon and Xylitol, sorry to disappoint but it might not all be over just yet so please do read on.

Now I really think they need to have a little reassess of the name “Xylitol” because to me it sounds all chemically and nasty but in actual fact its natural and found in most fruit and veg that we eat daily. It works our as a 1 for 1 substitute against sugar and pretty much tastes identical (it has a slightly cool and fresh feeling to it also) so it really doesn’t feel like you are compromising and at 10 kcal per teaspoon your pancakes won’t break the waistband either. This morning I had three bringing my calorie consumption to roughly the same as my bowl of porridge, but I feel like I cheated!

 

Do let me know if you have any low calorie options and what will you be topping your pancakes with this Shrove Tuesday?

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
