Review of Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free Pancake and Waffle Mix

Being married to a diabetic keeps me searching for tasty foods that he can enjoy without raising his blood sugar level. One of our favorite breakfast treats is pancakes, but most of the low carb pancake mixes we've tried in the past were lacking in both flavor and texture. I've found that when low carb products fail to deliver good flavor and texture, my husband tends to want the real pancake mix, which contains considerably more sugars and other carbohydrates than any diabetic should consume.

Recently I came across an all natural, sugar-free pancake and waffle mix made by Maple Grove Farms of Vermont. We have used Maple Grove Farms sugar free pancake syrup many times and I was pleased to find that they also make a sugar free pancake and waffle mix.

The first batch of pancakes I mixed up according to package directions and they cooked up beautifully. However, they were just a little thicker than we like our pancakes. So, the second batch I made, I used only one egg instead of the two eggs called for in the recipe on the package. I also used equal parts water and pancake mix and added a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. The pancake mix is easy to tweak so you can bake up pancakes or waffles to your desired size, thickness and flavor.

This product is quite good and since it contains no sugar, you can add whatever sugar substitute you like. We also like to top them off with organic, low carb peanut butter or fresh blueberries and chopped pecans for an extra treat.

Ingredients Listed on the Package:
Wheat Gluten, Corn Starch, Whole Wheat Flour, Milk Protein Concentrate, Leavening (monocalcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate), Salt, Natural Flavor

One-Third Cup Dry Mix Contains:
120 Calories

I have also baked this product on the waffle iron and it bakes up beautifully as well. So whether you are longing for fresh pancakes or waffles, any diabetic, young or older, can truly enjoy Maple Grove Farms of Vermont - All Natural Sugar Free Pancake and Waffle Mix.
