I want to make pancakes for my family tomorrow, but my uncle is a diabetic.?

Question

can you suggest any substitutes for maple syrup?

Answer 1

Sugarless artificial maple syrup is available. Check your supermorket. The taste isn't too bad. (I'm diabetic, also.)

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

You can buy sugar free maple syrup at the grocery store and if you are a diabetic and really don't eat sugar then it taste just like sugared maple syrup.I use it although I am not diabetic,but so many in my family is that I have cut sugar out of my diet and watch the starches ect....I do sometimes have a little real sugar sometimes if I go out to eat.

Answer 4

As far as I know, all the syrups from maple, table, molasses etc are quite high in sugar. Your uncle could use it sparingly, he'll have to be careful and not have too many pancakes, hopefully you'll have some protein to go with it. Canadian style bacon has the least amount of fat and would make an excellent compliment.
The only other thing would be a diabetic style sugar free jam. It tastes just as good on pancakes as it does on toast..

Answer 5

There are fabulous sugar free maple syrups sold in the super market right next to the other syrups. Or they might have them in the "diet" section.

It's carbs AND sugars that diabetics have to watch out for, so you might want to have something more protein rich for him as well. Scrambled eggs, ham, sausage, you know, the not so sweet stuff. Something breakfast-like but not all sugar and carbs.

You're nice to make breakfast!! Have a good time!

Answer 6

It is easy to find sugar free jam in the supermarket these days. You might also check the diabetic area of the supermarket. They may have a sugar free maple syrup.

Answer 7

Lots of sugar free syrups available for diabetics & dieters...
Get some sugar free maple syrup...I have a bottle here at my house....

Answer 8

Go to the grocery store and there are tons of sugar free syrups. Maple, blueberry, strawberry. He will have his choice. Good luck.

COMMENTS FROM DIABETIC PEOPLE ON THIS RECIPE;
I also used whole wheat flour in place of the buckwheat. They were very flat. What would improve this recipe is adding 1/2 tsp baking soda

The proportion of buckwheat flour to normal flour (admittedly I used whole wheat pastry flour) is perfect. These did turn out rather flat, but the flavor was great. I couldn't resist and used half milk and half water and my sugar substitute of choice was Sucanat, which isn't a no-calorie sweetener, but rather dehydrated cane juice- in essence, sugar with all its nutrients still intact. I was worried about the thinness of this when I first mixed it up, but it was much thicker after the 10 minute sitting period. Very tasty, very healthy pancakes! Thanks for a nice breakfast.



HI AGAIN YOU CAN BUY WHEAT FLOUR PANCAKES IT COMES IN A BOX FOR SUGAR U CAN ADD EQUAL AND LOW FAT MILK . ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST I just might make some for myself and daughter 2ton . take care be safe


PS they also sell low in sugar syrup

Answer 10

You can buy sugar free syrup for him. I also highly suggest using whole grain pancake mix, as diabetics aren't supposed to have white flour.
