About Espresso pancake

Espresso pancakes are a modern fusion breakfast dish combining the robust flavor of espresso with the fluffy texture of traditional pancakes. Originating from contemporary Western cuisine, they are often enjoyed with syrups or toppings like whipped cream. Typically made with flour, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder, and freshly brewed espresso, they provide a quick energy boost from the caffeine while offering a balanced source of carbohydrates and protein. The presence of espresso adds a slight antioxidant boost due to polyphenols, while the pancakes themselves provide essential nutrients such as B vitamins from eggs and carbohydrates that serve as a readily available energy source. Depending on the recipe, they may be further enriched with ingredients like whole-grain flour for added fiber or unsweetened cocoa powder for additional antioxidants.
