are pancakes fatty?

Question

i love eating pancakes. but are they fatty or bad for your health?

Answer 1

Pancakes are high in sugar and carbohydrates - the bad ones. So instead of regular pancakes try using buckwheat or whole wheat instead. The use honey and not sugar and they'll be better for you.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Pancakes are not particularly bad for you. At least not by themselves. Really it's much the same as eating a sweet bread. However most people load up pancakes with slabs of butter and syrup, or Jam. Or other things that are not good for you in that amount.

Answer 4

If you cook them in real butter and drench them in sticky sweet delicious syrups then they're more like a dessert. I use whole wheat flour and cooking spray. I also top the first one with an egg so I'm getting some protein. The way I do it they're pretty much similar to a piece of bread. In moderation they're just fine. Waffles are the more fatty version. One great low calorie topper is applesauce or sliced pears that are melt in your mouth-tender and delicate.

Answer 5

No, if you put syrup on it you might have a little sugar in you but pancakes are good for you because the batter to make the pancake contains good stuff, its the syrup thats bad.

Answer 6

Store-bought pancake mixes are definitely bad for your health. Take, for instance, the ingredients in Aunt Jemima's Complete Pancake Mix:

NGREDIENTS: ENRICHED BLEACHED FLOUR (BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), SUGAR, LEAVENING (SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODIUM ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE, MONOCALCIUM PHOSPHATE), DEXTROSE, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL WITH MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, NONFAT DRY MILK, SALT, DRIED WHOLE EGGS, CALCIUM CARBONATE, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, DEFATTED SOY FLOUR, SOY LECITHIN, CORN STARCH, SODIUM CASEINATE, CULTURED WHEY, SOYBEAN OIL, CARRAGEENAN, WHEAT GLUTEN, GUAR GUM, NATURAL FLAVOR.

This pancake mix contains hydrogenated oil, or trans fat. It also contains unnecessary sweeteners such as sugar and corn syrup solids. You also have guar gum...what is THAT doing in your pancakes?

The only ingredients that belong in pancakes are some good quality flour (such as organic whole-wheat flour), baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. That's it.

I suggest that if you want to prepare healthy pancakes, you make them yourself from scratch. If you use healthy ingredients, it WILL be healthy. It would also help if you used 100% pure maple syrup, instead of Aunt Jemima syrup which is purely CORN syrup and some artificial "maple" flavor. Also make sure your portions aren't extreme (stick to two or three pancakes, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter) with 1 tbsp of pure maple syrup. Add some fresh berries on top, and you've got yourself a healthy breakfast.

Answer 7

Generally if you use low fat milk and no sugar in your pancake batter it isn’t going to be fattening but the pancake isn’t the problem.
It’s the butter/oil you use to cook them with and the toppings you decide to put on them. Usually they are full of sugar.
