Like the brand's previously released baking mixes, the [keto-friendly pancake and waffle mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-caramel-crunch) only need water to create a nutritious, [protein-packed breakfast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swolecakes). The two new pancake mixes include original and sugar-free chocolate chip varieties, which feature tigernut flour, as tigernuts are packed with fiber and—unlike most starchy vegetables—healthy fats. Birch Benders' other mixes feature other grain-free ingredients such as cassava starch or almond and coconut flours. The ketogenic diet, a low-carbohydrate diet that puts the body in a state of ketosis and burns fat for energy, has become a popular diet, specifically for those looking for weight loss solutions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Keto-friendly Products:** The success of Birch Benders' new high-fat, low-carb pancake mixes demonstrates a growing demand for keto-friendly products. - **Alternative Flours:** The use of alternative flours, such as tigernut flour, provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the baking and gluten-free industries. - **Convenience Products:** Birch Benders' pancake mixes that only require water demonstrate the continued demand for convenience products in the breakfast industry. ### Where This Applies - **Food Industry:** The food industry can capitalize on the growing trend towards keto-friendly and alternative flour products. - **Baking Industry:** Bakers can benefit from experimenting with alternative flours and developing more convenience products. - **Gluten-free Industry:** The use of alternative flours in gluten-free products provides an opportunity for innovation in the gluten-free industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Keto-Friendly Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketogenic-seed-baking-mix.md) - [Grain-Free Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainfree-pancake-mix.md) - [Keto-Friendly Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-keto-mixes.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Lifestyle-Conscious Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birch-benders-cookies.md) - [Nutritious Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutritious-pancake-mix.md) - [Prebiotic Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prebiotic-pancake-mixes.md) - [Tart Breakfast Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kodiak-power-cakes-flapjack-waffle-mix.md) - [Protein-Rich Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-pancake-waffle-mix.md) - [Flaky Free-From Biscuit Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuit-mix.md)
