World Health Day, celebrated annually on April 7, marks the founding of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1948. It’s the perfect day to add diverse recipes to your repertoire, if they suit your interests, tastes, and of course, dietary needs. If all these points lead you to gluten-free recipes, then this apple pancake recipe is an excellent addition to your breakfast menu. Regular pancakes use wheat flour, which provides elastic gluten, leading to a light, fluffy, and airy result. However, gluten-free recipes like this one for gluten-free apple pancakes use alternate flours and additional ingredients to mimic gluten's structure without the resulting health issues. Gluten is not harmful for everyone, but it can negatively impact those with celiac disease, as per national and international medical institutes and agencies (such as the NIH). A good way to celebrate World Health Day is to arm yourself with important information about new-age food trends and diets. As far as the apple pancakes are concerned, this is one of those gluten-free recipes that’s also dairy-free because it uses plant-based milk and oil in the batter. And you can swap the butter with dairy-free cooking spray for greasing. Despite minimal ingredients, simple steps, and a different flour, the resulting pancakes are soft and fluffy. You can make these as light or indulgent as you like. They pair well with maple syrup, freshly cut fruits, or even chocolate sauce.
