Sweet Cream Pancakes Recipe

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

Step aside dull breakfast options; sweet cream pancakes make mornings a little brighter.

A pancake is just a pancake, right? Nope. Sweet cream pancakes will quickly become a part of your regular menu rotation at home. And there’s no need to file the recipe under breakfast only. These sweet and fluffy treats make a great quick dinner for the days you don’t get to the grocery store or a fun dessert when you add creative toppings.

Our recipe calls for light cream; however, if calories aren’t a concern, you can also use half-and-half or heavy whipping cream for the most decadent pancake ever.

The best part about sweet cream pancakes is that although they taste sweet, they also taste light. Even if you use heavy cream, there is no heaviness about them. The baking soda helps to fluff them up, and the organic coconut sugar brings a sweet, caramel taste to the pancakes. Top that off with maple syrup or blueberries for blueberry pancakes, and these flapjacks are perfection.

Are Sweet Cream Pancakes Healthy?

Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that make us smile…like recipes that taste sinful but are actually healthy. Sweet cream pancakes is one of those recipes. Making simple adjustments takes an unhealthy option to a nutritious one, such as swapping refined sugar for organic coconut sugar, or using whole wheat flour rather than all-purpose flour. Both coconut sugar and whole wheat flour are less processed and retain more nutrients than processed cane sugar and all-purpose flour.

Though the sweet cream pancakes recipe is suitable for many diets, you can make a few changes to enjoy these fluffy delights as gluten-free or dairy-free. Many gluten-free flours work well as replacements, such as buckwheat or almond flour (I prefer a blend). For a dairy-free pancake, pour in some coconut milk instead of the cream. Not only will the sweet cream pancakes be dairy-free, but they will have a wonderful coconut flavor.

Why are Lumps important in Pancake Batter?

The struggle is real when mixing pancake batter. It goes against our cooking instincts to leave lumps in anything we are preparing. Try to resist — those lumps are creating air pockets as the pancakes cook. The air pockets are what help to form the fluffiest pancakes, giving them a light texture to sink your fork into.

When you overmix any type of pancake batter; you end up with flat, unimpressive cakes.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups whole all-purpose or whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative
• 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
• 2 large free-range eggs
• 1 1/2 cups organic light cream
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk & Beat

Start by combining your dry ingredients, then separately beat the eggs and sugar. Mix in the light cream and vanilla for a creamy batter.

Fold & Combine

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Remember, don’t overdo it – a few lumps are pancake perfection in the making.

Heat & Grease

Get your griddle or skillet just right with a medium heat and a touch of butter or spray. This is your secret to that irresistible golden crust.

Scoop & Cook

Ladle out the batter and watch for those tell-tale bubbles. Flip once, cook to a golden brown, and then it’s time to stack ’em up.

Serve & Enjoy

Top these fluffy delights with your favorite healthy toppings and savor every bite of your sweet cream pancake creation.

Devour!

FAQs & Tips

Serving Suggestions

Simply plopping a couple of sweet cream pancakes on a plate and covering them in syrup is enough to please the pickiest of eaters. Still, there are some other ways to serve these gourmet-style cakes.

Fruit toppings of any kind taste fabulous, and with the sweetness of these sweet cream pancakes, if you add a little whipped cream on top of the fruit, you can call it breakfast and dessert (your family will thank you).

There’s always the classic option of scrambled eggs, bacon, and a side of flapjacks. Or how about a scattering of chocolate chips on top to satisfy your chocolate craving? You can even serve romantic pancakes for two with a sprinkling of powdered sugar on the pancakes and the plate, and then top it all off with roasted strawberries. Light the candles, and voila — love at first bite.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole all purpose or whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative
• 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
• 2 large free-range eggs
• 1 1/2 cups organic light cream
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the coconut sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Gradually pour the light cream and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can lead to dense pancakes.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a dab of butter or a spritz of cooking spray.
• Pour 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto the griddle, allowing enough space for the pancakes to expand. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
• Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover to keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring each pancake is cooked to perfection.
• Serve the warm pancakes with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, a sprinkle of fresh berries, or a bit of Greek yogurt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which are the best organic vegetables?

Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are the best food on earth.

Organic produce is produced without pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can be dangerous to our environment as well as our health.

Organic produce also contains more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, fibre, and essential fatty acids. This makes them healthier because we absorb these nutrients better when eating organics.

Organic vegetables are delicious and safe to eat. Organic produce is free from known side effects.

Organic fruits and vegetables can be found at all grocery stores. As long as they are produced according to USDA guidelines (which means they meet the standards set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture), they are labelled "organic." If you cannot find organic produce at your local grocery store, check out online retailers such as Amazon or Walmart.

What are organic beauty items?

Organic Beauty Products are natural products that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, including parabens. Phenoxyethanol, phthalates and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are commonly found in conventional beauty products like cosmetics, shampoos, and perfumes.

Organic beauty products don't contain genetically modified organisms and are therefore free from animal testing.

The USDA defines the term' organic' as "a system of production that fosters cycling of resources" and has been used for decades to describe foodstuffs grown without pesticides.

Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.

These include allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.

Organic beauty products are created by companies that care about the environment and create safe, healthy products for customers.

Are organic foods better for us?

The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For example, one study showed that children who ate organic meat had 33 percent lower blood lead levels than those who didn't consume organic meats. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.

Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

How To

Are there any disadvantages to purchasing organic products

Organic food offers many benefits. There are, however, some drawbacks. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.

It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. We're conditioned to expect low-quality foods that taste bad. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.

Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. How do you convince people that it is worth the extra effort?

You could also tell them organic food is more expensive. This doesn't necessarily mean organic food tastes better. They might be suspicious of your motives.

Instead, you should highlight its many benefits. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. Organic food is also grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. This makes it healthier for our bodies and the environment.

Organic food is often avoided because it's too costly. But as long as they consider the health benefits, they may decide that spending a few dollars per week is worth it.

Organic food tastes better because it is produced according to strict guidelines. Organic food retains more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Organic food tastes better because it is picked later in the season. This makes it easier to digest and fresher.

Organic food is often cheaper as it's grown organically which requires less labor and fertilizer.
