The Health Benefits of Plant-Based Pancake & Waffle Mixes: A Nutritious Twist on a Classic Breakfast
For most families, pancakes and waffles are an all-time favorite sweet breakfast. You can add so many things to elevate the flavor—from maple syrup to nut butters and berry sauces, and from strawberries to bananas or other fruit.
However, as much as pancakes are a tasty breakfast option, most pre-made mixes are ultra-processed and loaded with dairy, sugar, eggs, and salt. What to do in this scenario? You should add a healthy twist to your favorite breakfast with PLANTSTRONG's Pancake & Waffle Mixes!
In this article, we will explore everything about our wholesome, plant-based pancake mixes, from what they are made of to key benefits. Also, we will take a look at the best pancake and waffle mixes in the current market to help you always have awesome-tasting pancakes for breakfast. So, if you are ready, let’s start!
What is a Plant-Based Pancake Mix?
Plant-based pancake and waffle mixes are mixes made without eggs or dairy. PLANTSTRONG takes a step further and uses only whole grains while making the mixes free from oil, refined sugars, and excessive sodium. Two of the mixes contain organic ingredients and all three are made without synthetic colors, preservatives, artificial flavors, and bleached flour.
Unlike regular pancake and waffle mixes, PLANTSTRONG mixes are made with plant milk and do not need eggs or oil added. The Homestyle Mix is certified gluten-free for those who have gluten-free diets or prefer to reduce gluten consumption as much as possible.

Key Benefits of Plant-Based Pancake Mix
Let’s take a look at the key benefits of plant-based pancake mixes.
Reduce Your Exposure to GMO Products
GMO products are genetically modified products that can have a variety of health consequences on human bodies. Even though GMO foods are cheaper compared to organic alternatives, the health consequences in the long run will cost you more.
PLANTSTRONG pancake mixes are non-GMO, which reduces your exposure to GMO products, thus its effects on your body.
Free of Artificial Sweeteners
Many pancake mixes that you can get in the store contain lots of artificial sweeteners. So do not get fooled by “sugar-free.” Always take a look at the ingredients, as some of the artificial sweeteners are worse than sugar.
However, PLANTSTRONG pancake mixes are made without refined sugar, and the sweetness of the mix is usually derived from dates.
Contribute to Weight Management
PLANTSTRONG pancakes and waffles are free of artificial sweeteners, sugars, and oils, which already contribute to fewer calories in the mixes. Besides fewer calories, these pancake mixes are rich in nutrition. All the whole grains provide versatile and healthy nutritional content and fiber. This helps you stay fuller for an extended period of time, plus supports healthier digestion.
Fiber, in general, is considered a necessary nutrient for weight loss and digestive system support. Those who aim to improve their digestive health are recommended to consume around 30 grams of fiber daily. Studies by Harvard claim that this daily consumption of fiber will also contribute to lower blood pressure and improve the body’s response to insulin.
Regarding carbohydrates, they boost energy, which is good if you plan to work out. The pancake mix with whole grains usually contains a sufficient amount of carbohydrates.
