    I use sugar free smuckers jam. I take a few tablespoons, put it in the microwave for about ten seconds, stir, and it's a delicious syrup for ten calories a tablespoon. Yum.

    I make my pancakes with bananas and whole grain mix, then I put bananas on it, butter, and use a light maple syrup <3

    Smuckers sugar free syrup is really good and if I recall correctly practically free

    I think I'm going to have to give in and get sugar free maple syrup... What brand do you recommend?

    Never, ever use sf maple syrup. Use the real stuff. It's worth it.

    I have pancakes probably 28 mornings a month (occasionally I want biscuits). Either plain, buttermilk, blueberry, or my own pumpkin recipe. Syrup is always on top, with a side of bacon or sausage. Sometimes there's milk, yogurt, or a protein shake.

    If I had a waffle iron, I'd make waffles every other morning.

    Well, when I'm at maintenance, I'm sure I can do that, but I'm not there yet :(

    0% Greek Oikos yogurt mixed with 15 grams of softened cream cheese and 1 packet of stevia and sometimes some low fat whip cream :) delicious!

    I'm boring. Usually just put maple syrup and butter, rarely peanut butter as well. Haven't been too tempted to eat pancakes lately though, because I always feel gross after eating syrup + anything. I just can't deal with a dry pancake, or breaking from "tradition." >__<

    I do this too, or use Polaner all fruit. You can cook it down with some water and reduce it, but that is usually too much work. I usually just microwave it.

    I had an uncle who used mustard. Never tried it, looked and smelled disgusting, but that is all he ever ate on them.

    Real butter and real maple syrup. There is no substitute on hot fresh pancakes! :bigsmile:

    Leftover pancakes become snacks, often before a run or workout - topped with a tablespoon of peanut butter, of course. Delicious!

    To make my syrup go farther I've been putting 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce on them. Then I add 1T of boysenberry syrup and usually some chopped up fruit like strawberries or maybe some blueberries. And when I say them I really mean it. I have one large pancake as I'm too lazy to make it into 2 or 3 smaller ones.

    Cary's sugar free maple syrup and almond butter. The almond butter adds calories, but also the nutrition it holds is worth the exchange IMO.

    Pure maple syrup or hot strawberry jam and whipped cream. The toppings usually end up being between 130-180 calories, and I consider them well worth it!
