Chef Tips and Tricks

Why are these Gluten Free Banana Pancakes so light and fluffy? 

Thanks for asking! In order to keep these pancakes light, we have added extra baking powder and eggs. Peetz S.M.A.R.T blend is made with high fibre ingredients, that absorb a lot of moisture. The eggs help add more liquid and protein. The baking powder lifts the structure of the pancakes.

How do I make sure pancakes are cooked in the middle?

Heat the griddle or pan to medium-high heat and have the oil sizzling. Then, add the pancake batter. If the  heat is too high the pancakes will cook on the outside, before the inside.

Wait until the pancakes start to bubble , about 6 minutes. Then, flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

Keeping the pancakes all the same size, by dropping with a 1/4 cup measuring cup, ensure an even cooking time.

Is there something I can add to Gluten Free Banana Pancakes to change up the flavour?

Yes! We like whole pecans or walnuts, to add some bite and protein. One quarter cup to a half cup will do. Leave the nuts whole for best results.

You can also add some chocolate chips, instead of nuts, in equal amounts.

What is Peetz S.M.A.R.T Blend made from?

S.M.A.R.T stands for Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice and Tapioca.

Tips and Tricks for Baking Muffins

How to Bake Perfect Muffins

A. Leavening

Muffins rely on a good leavening to help them rise. Unlike cupcakes, muffins are not beaten to incorporate air.

Make sure the baking soda you use is fresh. Here’s an easy test! Add 1 teaspoon to 1/4 cup vinegar. It should sizzle and foam up. This ensures the ingredients are active.

B. Keep Dry and Wet Ingredients in Separate Bowls

Do not mix together until everything is ready. Then, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.  From there, pour in the wet. This ensures even distribution of the wet ingredients into the dry.

C. Fold in Blueberries at the End

You don’t want to over mix muffins. Gently fold blueberries in at the end.

Can I use fresh blueberries in the Blueberry Oatmeal Banana Muffins?

Yes! We suggest waiting until small wild blueberries are in season. Not only will it give you a better final product, but it will taste better to.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Unfortunately no. Frozen berries will clump up the batter and turn the batter purple.
