I love it but in place of sugar a used dates powder. My mum loved it
Kind of blah. I like the idea of the ingredients, but not sufficient taste for us.
I did not make any changes. Seemed dry and needed more flavor. Any suggestions?
Flour, Raisins, and applesauce! This is not low carb or diabetic friendly.
I added tiny pieces of chopped apples. They tasted good, but a little bland. A little honey on top helps the flavor. I think this recipe would be a good healthier pancake recipe.
Instead of whole wheat flour I used almond flour… they taste incredible!!!
Made them they are yummy. I didn’t have whole wheat four. I substituted 1/2 cup oat meal worked great.
I was looking for recipes for apple cake, when this one came up. When I looked at it, I wasn’t sure if it was pancakes or handheld cakes? As it was recommended by the “American Diabetes Association,” I decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe exactly, except I was short a couple of tablespoons of raisins. It didn’t seem to be a problem. It didn’t say how to oil the pan, so I just sprayed it with PAM. I used a mashed potato scoop and got 7 cakes. They are way too dense and heavy to be a pancake and not quite exactly sweet enough to be a cake. I decided to go the cake route and drizzled them lightly with a vanilla glaze, similar to ones on this site. It was much more like a dense flat cake then. Just probably no longer diabetic approved. Interesting recipe, anyhow, thanks.
I used homemade applesauce in this recipe and omitted the sugar. I served these up like pancakes with homemade apple cider syrup. The family LOVED these. VERY filling.
Good flavor. A little dense for my liking.
The blandness is because there’s no salt! And no amount of applesauce, cinnamon or raisins can make up for that.
I liked these though didn’t “love” them. I would make them again though. They were good and healthy and my middle son (age 11) and husband loved them.
Pretty good start, but yes a little bland like others said. It just needs some more cinnamon. I would suggest more sugar in the form of Splenda, but the pancakes are fine when you add syrup. Mine out turned thick as well, so I added about some milk until I got the consistency I wanted, probably 6T.
Great taste added apple chunks and walnuts. The only down side is they didn’t spread maybe cause I add the nuts and apple
I had some applesauce I’d made from some almost past their best apples and the ends of a bag of raisins. I did an ingredient search and came up with these. I made exactly as written, used just under a 1/4 cup of batter for each cake and flattened them a bit with the back of a spoon when they were in the pan. These were a really great breakfast. I devoured 4 and had to restrain myself from eating a fifth. Many Thanks.
Added a little nutmeg b/c I thought that sounded good but other than that followed the recipe exactly. This recipe turned out great! Healthy, easy, delicious! For anyone that said these were bland they need to get their taste buds checked out – the applesauce, cinnamon and raisins give lots of flavor.
Pretty good. My diabetic step-father really enjoyed them, my 2 yr old daughter did as well. I found them a little bland but still enjoyable. Just not my taste I suppose.
I must admit that I was not expecting too much from these.. but I was really impressed once I tried one! They aren’t overly sweet, and I liked that about them. VERY filling and perfect for breakfast. I served with just a sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar. If you are looking for a healthy, low-sugar breakfast, these won’t disappoint you. 🙂
These were really good and super filling.
My family loved this. I replaced the raisins with blueberries. (I add them after mixing the batter well, then put in the blueberries and softly stir.) They are so soft and moist that my mother-in-law can also enjoy them even though it’s hard for her to eat most foods. I also use a good deal of powdered sugar and skip the syrup.
I made these today for my Stepfather who is diabetic. I was impressed with the flavor and how easy they are to make! I will definitely make these again.
