Hungry Girl Cinnamon Pancakes!

CaraRadz

I can't lie: I love IHOP. Obviously that is one of the worst places to go for someone who is trying to eat healthy. So, I was THRILLED to discover a recipe on Hungry Girl that is designed to recreated the IHOP Cinn-A-Stack Pancakes in a guilt-free way. I haven't tried these yet, but they sound awesome and the picture on the website looks legit!

Ingredients:

Filling
Half a 60-calorie sugar-free vanilla pudding snack (like the kind by Jell-O)
2 tbsp. sugar-free pancake syrup
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Icing
2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Pancakes
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia)
Dash salt

1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute 
(like Egg Beaters Original)
2 tbsp. fat-free or low-fat buttermilk

Topping
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
To make the filling, spoon half of the pudding snack -- about 3 tbsp. -- into a small microwave-safe bowl. (Save the rest for another time.) Add syrup and cinnamon and mix well. Set aside.

In another small microwave-safe bowl, combine icing ingredients and gently stir. Microwave for 15 seconds, and then mix until smooth. Set aside.

To make the pancake batter, combine flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt in a medium bowl. Add egg substitute, buttermilk, and 1/3 cup water. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add 1/3rd of the batter to form a pancake. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until pancake begins to bubble and is solid enough to flip. Gently flip and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Plate your pancake and set aside.

Repeat with remaining batter to make a 2nd and 3rd pancake, removing skillet from heat and re-spraying between repetitions. Plate and set aside.

Microwave filling until warm, about 25 seconds. Evenly spread filling onto the top of each pancake, and then layer pancakes into a stack.

Microwave icing until hot, about 25 seconds. Mix well and drizzle over the stack. Top with Reddi-wip and enjoy!

I'm not gonna lie - they look daaaarn good. I looked at this recipe before and was tempted..What's holding me back is the fact that besides the flour, baking powder and cinnamon everything in this is "fat free/sugar free/reduced fat/no calorie/substitute..." It's like all fake food..

This is what I'm telling myself anyway..Might just break down and make 'em anyway. haha someone make them and tell us if they're good!
