Vegan gluten-free pancake ingredients

These vegan gluten-free pancakes are very easy to make. Nothing strange that you've never heard of is in there. Simple, daily basics like nondairy milk and flour.

These pancakes have no butter or white flour. So you may enjoy them without guilt!

Milk

Anyone vegan, lactose intolerant, allergic to milk, or controlling their cholesterol consumption can benefit from plant milk.

If you're allergic to soy, dairy, or nuts, oat milk is a great substitute! Although unsweetened oat milk does not have as many nutrients as dairy milk, it does include fiber, protein, and calcium.

Oats

Oats are one of the healthiest grains on the planet. They're a gluten-free whole grain that's high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals including manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, copper, biotin, and vitamin B1 (thiamine).

Oats include avenanthramides, which are antioxidants not present in other cereal grains. These antioxidants help to improve heart health by reducing inflammation and relaxing arteries.

According to research, oats and oatmeal provide several health benefits. Weight loss, decreased blood sugar levels, and a lower risk of heart disease are among the benefits.

Bananas

Bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and a variety of antioxidants and phytonutrients. Potassium promotes heart health and blood pressure control. Because of their high fiber and antioxidant content, they may help with digestion and heart health. Furthermore, because they are low in calories, nutrient-dense, and satisfying, they may aid in weight loss.

Do bananas lose their nutrients after cooking?

If you're concerned that cooking your banana will make it less healthy, check the following facts.

Cooking bananas can result in some vitamin and mineral loss, such as vitamin C, which is heat sensitive and can be damaged by cooking. However, when bananas are cooked, additional nutrients such as resistant starch, increase.

Resistant starch is a form of carbohydrate that can function as a prebiotic and help feed the good bacteria in the gut.

Cooking bananas increases the quantity of beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that transforms into vitamin A. It is better absorbed by the body when a banana is cooked.

NOTE: Use a ripe banana since it mixes in much better and is much sweeter.

PRECAUTION: Your Teflon pots and pans may contain dangerous PFOAs depending on their age. After five years, you should replace nonstick pans. Beware of nonstick cookware manufactured before 2015 since it may contain PFOA.

Healthy alternatives for Teflon cookware

• Cast iron cookware acquires a natural nonstick coating over time, especially if properly seasoned and cared for.
• Carbon steel cookware performs similarly to cast-iron cookware, however, it is less heavy, somewhat more prone to corrosion, and often more costly.
• Ceramic cookware is safe and non-toxic (as long as the coating is not damaged). But ceramic coating is less durable since it cracks, chips, and wears away over time. The cookware is more costly than comparable nonstick utensils.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your pan sticks or you don't trust it, add a teaspoon of oil to it, wipe it down with a paper towel, and then wipe the pan down between pancakes.
