"It wouldn't be a lazy Sunday morning without a stack of warm pancakes, drenched in maple syrup with a pat of melting butter on top. Whether you prefer them thick and fluffy or thin and delicate, they're the kind of breakfast food that hits the spot every single time. The only downside? Most pancakes aren't exactly nutritional powerhouses, especially when it comes to fiber."
"Seeds can really elevate a dish by introducing new flavors, textures, and even essential nutrients. When it comes to the latter, poppy seeds shine in the fiber department, with just 1 tablespoon containing 1.7 grams. Considering most people aren't getting enough of this nutrient, that is key for digestive health, adding poppy seeds to your pancakes can help you work towards the FDA's daily recommendation of 28 grams."
Pancakes are a popular breakfast often made with white flour, which is low in fiber. Poppy seeds provide 1.7 grams of fiber per tablespoon, contributing to digestive health and helping approach the FDA's 28-gram daily fiber recommendation. Poppy seeds also supply minerals such as manganese, which supports bone health, prevents blood clotting, and aids metabolism of amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates, and copper, which helps form connective tissue and transport iron. Adding a couple of tablespoons of poppy seeds to pancake batter increases texture and nutty flavor. Poppy seed pancakes pair especially well with citrus and can be customized with additional ingredients.
