Whole Grain Spelt Flour Pancakes

I think i might be developing a new obsession. It all started quite randomly, my editor asked me to find a new and improved recipe for pancakes….. REALLY??? Pancakes?? What can I tell you, I have been making those for almost every Saturday branch for as long as I can remember. The internet is packed with gorgeous photos of great recipes, of the famous all american breakfast. So what can I really contribute to the pancake section, that can be so innovating?On the other hand of that, is of course, the fact that I love experimenting and coming up with new, healthier ways to cook traditional dishes. So I had to kick start my head, and think of all the ways I can cook a pancake that has never been done before, good luck to me…. What I figured out was that I can definitely switch the plain wheat flour, to a different healthier kind, which I did. The result was kind of amazing. I used whole grain spelt flour and got the exact same results I get when using the plain (and not so healthy) flour.Now let me tell you about this flour and all it’s great health benefits. The thing is that whenever I bake with ray or whole wheat flour, the pastries are always heavier and more condense. I think this spelt flour has the perfect properties for making a light pastries or in this case pancakes. So, what’s the big deal with this flour? It’s all about the fiber! While plain flour is made of grained wheat, very low with nutritional value, and has a very high glycemic index (which mean it blood sugar level real quick), spelt flour contain a high amount of  fibers. Consuming spelt flour reduces blood sugar levels and is really good for your digestive system. And the best thing is, you can hardly feel the different between this two. You really must try making this. There even better for dinner 😉
