We love to create healthy ways to eat the things we love. One way we have done this is by not putting sugar in our pancake batter or in the toppings that we consume rather use a whole food that is still sweet and still gives a good flavor dynamic you are looking for. The sourdough pancake batter is a good alternative to traditional pancakes as they have more benefits to your health. When you ferment this dough for several hours or even overnight there are many benefits. It has beneficial acids and probiotics for your gut and easy to digest to name a few. As my husband and I changed our eating habits years ago, our goal was not to rid us from everything we enjoy rather to make the things we enjoy healthier for us. Traditionally most people eat pancakes with maple syrup. We love pancakes with maple syrup, but we also know that sometimes it’s good to see what else can be used that will give you that sweet taste and still healthy. Dates are so sweet and a great way to get a delicious sauce for many dessert recipes. This is only one way you can use this sauce, but this sauce is versatile in many dessert recipes like cupcakes, muffins, and even cookies. I hope that this recipe below would be a helpful alternative for you and your family as you strive to make the things you enjoy healthy.
