frequently asked questions
What is 'Sneakies'?
As parents ourselves, we are used to the "sneaking in" fruits and veggies (and healthy nutrients all around) into our kids' food to make sure they were eating well. And having a picky eater myself, I know how hard it can be on parents to teach our kids (or ourselves) to love vegetables.
Sneakies was our vision of a world where the good stuff was snuck in for you. We tried to imagine fruits and vegetables were stealthy spies that had made their way into our morning stack of pancakes, only to make them more healthy and tasty!
What makes these pancakes different than other brands?
We have always loved the joy of a pancake breakfast in our family. But we found ourselves starting a pancake company in part because the options were lacking:
Most pancake mixes are cheap and filled with enriched flours, too much sugar, and strange ingredients. But even the healthy mixes all seem to revolve around protein or keto gimmicks these days. What they don't tell you is that you need to drench them in syrup just to get them to taste decent.
We also couldn't help but notice that everyone has taken the joy out of the most fun food we know! So our pancakes are a bit different...
They are made with real ingredients, sneaky fruits and veggies, and have fun, delicious flavors. In fact, they are so good, we think you'll eat them or give them to your kid without syrup!
Tell me more about the ingredients in the pancakes.
We make our pancakes with whole wheat flour, buttermilk, and coconut sugar to start. Vital wheat gluten, baking powder, and salt bring the pancake together. Chia seeds and flax seeds add fiber and further nutrition.
From there, for each of our different flavors we add a unique combination of freeze dried fruit and vegetable powders to create our delicious flavors. And we add natural flavors to bring out the existing flavor profile of the ingredients themselves.
Our traditional recipe calls for a whole egg and 1/2 cup of milk to be added to each bag, and we encourage you to add your own spin to the pancakes. Our favorites are: berries, dark chocolate chips, raisins, and bananas.
Note: maltodextrin is currently an ingredient used by some of our fruit powder suppliers and we are actively working to develop a formulation without it.
Do your products contain any artificial colors or flavors?
No!! We are proud that are pancakes are made without any artificial flavors or colors. The flavors from the pancakes come from entirely natural sources and the bright color comes from whole fruit and vegetable powders!
How should I cook the pancakes?
Because of the high amount of fruits and vegetables, these pancakes will be more sensitive to cook than you may be used to.
We recommend cooking in oil/butter on low heat to lock in the nutrients and to prevent burning. Typically each pancake will require several minutes to cook through before flipping, depending on the size of the pancake.
