Low calorie pancakes (under 30 calories each)
Replies

I have the world's greatest kitchen tool called a Thermomix. I use it to mill my own flour so i use whole wheat.BUMP- yum. But what is cake flour? regular flour?
For cakes I sieve it to remove the husks but for the pancakes I use it as whole wheat flour with the husks included. It adds great texture and the fibre is great for you.0 -

Low Calorie Pancakes Recipe
Makes 17 servings low calorie pancakes: 26 calories per serving. With the calorie content so low you can add blueberries for a sweet treat, cheese and chives and salmon for a savoury treat or just have plain alongside whatever else you are having. I really like it with a shake of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of low cal fig and ginger jam. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3/4 c. cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. skim milk (I actually use 2% milk so each pancake is more like 30 calories each. :bigsmile: )
2 egg whites
Directions
1. Sprinkle dash of salt on egg whites and beat until stiff, but not dry.
2. Add milk to flour and salt. Beat until smooth.
3. Add baking powder and beat a few seconds more
4. Fold in beaten egg whites.
5. Pour into the pan and turn once. Should be golden brown.

I doubled this recipe which is FANTASTIC! Doubling this recipe and substituting only one ingredient, Lite Salt, and using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, I ended up with 18, 3"- 4" pancakes. However the nutrition count changes per pancake to: 44 calories, 0.1 g total fat, 0.8 mg cholesterol, 241 mg sodium, 91.7 mg potassium, 16.6 g carbs, 0 fiber and 0 sugar, 4.5 g protein. Still this recipe more than halves the calorie count per pancake from the Heart Smart Bisquick pancake recipe. And, what's more my husband and I couldn't tell the difference between the taste and texture of these pancakes over traditional pancakes. Thanks for this great recipe!0 -
Perfect timing for me to find this thread. I am making pancakes tomorrow

I have answered the question three times throughout the thread. :bigsmile:
So for the last time, use about 2 to 3 tablespoons per pancake and it should be about 3 inches in diameter to get 17 If you like them thicker try using an egg ring to contain the mix from spreading. :flowerforyou:

I was curious, so I put the recipe into the food database as 1 serving instead of 17 or whatever it was in the OP...That is, I entered in all the ingredients and put serving size at 1.
Totals:
394 calories, 63 carbs, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 13 grams of protein
Not too bad at all if you wanted to splurge a little at breakfast. I can even imagine taking a teaspoon of Nutella and drizzling it on top for a treat 0 -
I just made these...first of all...under 30 cals is if you do indeed make 17 which are almost nothing! I made normal size pancakes3-4 inches and it made 6...thats hell of alot more than 30 cals! Also, thy don't taste very good. It was like eating a cooked flour paste. I added low fat cream cheese and a low cal blueberry compote and the overwhelming flour taste was still apparent! There is barely anymore calories in a true serving of these as there are in my Trader Joes pancake mix...(considering it is barely a bite size amount that is less than 30cals) I think I will stay with TJ and eat something that tastes good!0
