Malunggay Pancakes

February 3rd, 2012
We love pancakes with chocolate chips and preserved blueberries, right? What if we put in malunggay bits and grated carrots in it? Now, that would be healthier, would it?
At the recent Healthy Diet cooking demo and lecture Blecenda Varona at the Maya Kitchen, malunggay and grated carrots were added in pancakes for healthier alternative for pancake preparation.

Malunggay for Pancakes

Add malunggay right before cooking.
HERE is the secret to have a palatable pancake with no taste of malunggay and no smell of leaves:
Mix your old pancake recipe in a separate container. You can have any kind of the usual pancake mixture.
Chop fresh malunggay leaves, then set aside on a separate container.
DO NOT MIX IMMEDIATELY MALUNGGAY AND PANCAKE MIXTURE. Just add the malunggay bits when you will cook the batter and not when mixing the pancake mix.
