In addition, it is a recipe without baking powder while keeping the texture of the pancakes very fluffy. Here is my recipe for Healthy Pancakes (without baking powder).
Pancakes without baking powder
I had the idea to create my own recipe for pancakes without baking powder which I also used for my recipe for Pancakes with Blueberries and Greek Yogurt , because I could not find any recipe on the internet that offered it. Why remove the baking powder? Quite simply because you may no longer have baking powder at home. And, in terms of taste, baking powder can also provide a taste that can be unpleasant.
However, there are alternatives to baking powder such as beating egg whites. This is what I did for the following recipe. I also added yogurt to the pancake batter to make them even more soft and fluffy.
