Pancakes

TeddyTedson

Would people consider pancakes to be a good breakfast. Think about pancakes for breakfast with some chopped up fruit. I mean milk eggs and flower, unless you're lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy wouldn't this be a healthy option.

I smother pancakes in nutella so no, probably not the healthiest of breakfasts.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

flour isn't healthy in any way shape or form

could use oats instead, they'd be better.

I do mine within fresh blueBerry's or other fresh fruit the kids love them too

Pancakes aren't health food - that's why they're so fúcking delicious.
I'm making them this evening.
Jesus, i have the willpower of a daffodil!

What kind of flowers are you using?

Never made pancakes with flowers, I always use flour, eggs and milk.

Pancakes are an awesome breakfast.
I use this recipe (lots) but with soy milk and a little olive oil instead of milk and butter with great results. Important to put the batter onto a hot pan:

With proper maple syrup - nom.

Not the healthiest option possible of course, but that's not the only criterion for good food

That's probably where you're going wrong OP.

In other matters, assuming you meant flour, it's a rotten and unhealthy breakfast and throwing on a strawberry or slice of pear for aesthetics is not going to change the wholly unhealthy nature of what you're eating for breakfast. Maybe you don't eat it though. :pac:

i.e. full of processed sugars and carbohydrates and therefore terribly bad for you.

But if sugar is what floats your boat, then go for it, but be aware the boat will sink eventually and you'll drown in it.

How can something be good but not healthy?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

gummi bears are ****ing awesome but aren't healthy

Mr. CooL ICE

If you must have pancakes and want to try keeping it healthy, then use a combination of porridge oats and oat bran mixed with an egg white and milk.

If you want a decent breakfast rich in protein and enough fats to stifle hunger pangs, make bacon and eggs.

Good breakfast, yes.
Healthy breakfast, no.

Unless you usually bake your pancakes in the oven rather than pan-frying them?

Not so sure about that... I thought the gelatin they're mostly made of was really good for your bones?

Still unhealthy if you bake them, its not the frying that makes them unhealthy as you use a tiny bit of oil. Its the flour.

When did flour become inherently unhealthy? :eek:

you can throw a handful of sunflower seeds and berries onto a lump of ****, it's still not going to be a health food.

So what would you consider a healthy breakfast?
A boiled egg and a some organic fruit?

Well, according to the interwebs, the sugar-free ones apparently are good for your teeth.

Not sure you could say the same about sunflower seeds on s***

Yes that would be quite healthy.

What about the cholesterol in the egg and the sugar in the fruit?

Eggs have been shown to be very good for you.
