Indulge in guilt-free breakfast bliss with these fluffy and flavorful Low Sodium Belgian Pancakes! Perfectly crafted for health-conscious eaters, this recipe swaps high-sodium ingredients for wholesome alternatives like unsalted butter and low-fat milk without compromising taste.

Ready in just 35 minutes, these pancakes are ideal for weekend mornings or special brunch occasions. Serve them warm with fresh fruit, low-sodium whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup to elevate your breakfast game. Enjoy a delicious start to your day without the excess sodium!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the melted unsalted butter, low-fat milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Preheat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted unsalted butter.
Pour enough batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface evenly, using a spatula to spread as necessary. Close the lid and cook until the pancake is golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Carefully remove the pancake and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
Serve the Belgian pancakes warm, optionally topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of low-sodium whipped cream, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
