About This Calculation
Dutch Baby has a medium glycemic load of 10.3 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.
The primary glycemic load contributors are all-purpose flour (GL 8.1), maple syrup (GL 1.8), milk, whole (GL 0.5). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Not counted in this number, because the recipe serves them alongside the dish: confectioners' sugar (adds GL 1.3 per serving if eaten), fresh mixed berries (adds GL 0.6 per serving if eaten).
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
