So, let’s get started!
Low Histamine Pancake Recipe
Equipment
- Frying pan
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 room temperature eggs
- 2/3 cup lukewarm milk (or a dairy-free option like unsweetened coconut milk, as used in the accompanying video)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- A pinch of salt
- finely ground almond flour
- 1/2 cup finely ground almond flour
- 1 tsp psyllium husk
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs and milk in a mixing dish. The eggs should be at room temperature to enable optimal assimilation with the other ingredients.
- Add the olive oil and thoroughly combine once the eggs and milk fully blend. The oil gives the pancakes a deep flavor while keeping them from sticking to the skillet.
- It's now time to add the dry ingredients. Add the finely ground almond flour, salt, and psyllium husk to the bowl. These components not only contribute to the delicious texture of the pancakes, but they also have additional health benefits.
- Blend the batter until all ingredients are well mixed. Make sure there are no lumps and that the batter is smooth. The psyllium husk will help to bind the ingredients together and give the pancakes a fluffy texture.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. When the skillet is heated, pour in the pancake batter, gently swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly. This method ensures that the pancakes cook uniformly and have a lovely golden-brown color.
- It's time to top the pancakes with your preferred toppings. You can use fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas or drizzle them with honey or maple syrup. Be inventive and personalize the toppings to your liking.
- Cook until the pancakes are cooked and gently browned on both sides. Cooking time varies but typically takes 2-3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to prevent them from overcooking.
- When the pancakes are done, delicately fold them into thirds or halves to make a visually appealing presentation. This procedure also aids in trapping heat, ensuring the pancakes are served warm and comfortably.
Here is some additional info about Low Histamine Pancakes
I will now answer a few questions I believe you will find helpful while preparing this dish.
What flour is low in histamine?
Coconut flour is an excellent alternative when it comes to low histamine flours. Coconut flour is made from coconut meat and is naturally low in histamine. It is a versatile and nutrient-dense substitute for ordinary wheat flour. Coconut flour is gluten-free and abundant in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. It has a mildly sweet flavor and can be used in several dishes, such as pancakes, cookies, and bread.
Is butter high in histamine?
Unfortunately, butter contains a lot of histamine. Histamine can build up during the fermentation and aging processes of dairy products like butter. Consuming high-histamine foods like butter might cause symptoms such as headaches, rashes, or stomach difficulties in people with histamine sensitivities or allergies.
It is recommended to use histamine-free alternatives such as ghee (clarified butter) or dairy-free options such as coconut or olive oil.
Is salt high in histamine?
Salt, in its purest form, is not high in histamine. Histamine levels in salt are typically minimal and do not pose a substantial risk for people allergic to histamine. Some commercially processed salts or flavored salts, on the other hand, may contain additives or seasonings that may contribute to histamine levels. To avoid potential histamine-related difficulties, choose pure, unprocessed salt such as sea salt or Himalayan pink salt.
