Alternative Pancakes/Waffle Recipe

I believe in everything in moderation, but at the same time I like to use my calories the way I use my budget. Important thing first and indulgences last. Pancakes or Waffles are such for me. A meal full of carbs and fat and very little protein that make me hungry a couple hours later. Not to mention that there is little to no fiber as well. So for a while I played around to try and find something satisfying but with less calories and alas nothing was as sweet and delicious as a stack of waffles or pancakes that my Momma makes slathered in butter. No syrup needed. I gave up.
Recently I said enough was a enough. This is a lifestyle and I can't never have pancakes and waffles especially if its gonna take me at least a year to get to my goal weight. So I took a box of pancake mixed and tried again, and I found it.
And alternative that works for me.
47 grams of pancake mix, 1/3 cup of water, 1 egg, 1/8 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tsps of oil ( I use grapseed). I let it stand while I wait for my waffle iron or pan heat up. Then I spray the pan/iron with oil spray and cook them up. It makes 3 single square waffles, or 3 pancakes. They are a little eggy, but I wait for them to get as crispy as possible ( not much oil so they don't get very crispy) And instead of butter or syrup I sprinkle a smidge of salt and they are SOOOOO good. I am not typically an egg fan, but for these....OMG!!!
