    Do a Google search for buckwheat pancakes. The buckwheat adds fiber, and it's relatively low in carbs. Of course, then I soak them in maple syrup, so . . .

    This reminds me of that earlier thread debating the egg and banana omelette pancakes...

    Pancakes aren't terrible, it's what you put on them that does the damage I find.

    I'm gonna go find this. I can't have gluten and buckwheat is gluten-free. Yay! :drinker:

    Banana pancake (makes 1, 155.5 cals)

    2 egg whites (I use whole eggs but might change the calories a bit)
    1 tbsp plain yogurt or coconut milk
    4-5 drops vanilla stevia
    1 banana, mashed
    2 tbsp applesauce
    2 tbsp flax meal (or GF flour)
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    sprinkle of cinnamon & nutmeg

    Whisk together eggs, yogurt, and stevia until fluffyish. Whisk in banana and spices. Let sit for 2-3 minutes while you preheat an omelette pan with nonstick spray or some coconut oil.

    As you can see this recipe is wheat, dairy and sugar free! I've made it a few times and its delicious :) I usually have a tbsp of peanut butter with it too but is sweet and flavourful on its own.

    Aunt Bessie's Pancake Mix - just add water. 92cals per pancake. Squeeze fresh fruit juice over them, and they aren't bad at all! :drinker: YUM! x

    This.

    In the end everything in moderations. If you would normally have 4, have 2 etc...

    We had standard old school pancakes for breakfast, but instead of covering mine with maple syrup, I used a punnet of strawberries, some stevia and a tsp of olive oil to make an amazing strawberry sauce.

    I've thought the exact same thing. I'm off to a pancake party tonight, the girls who are making ti go a bit freestyle with the mix. If I bring my own and the Aunt Bessie's is in an easy jug dispense then it'll be easy to count.

    QUESTIONS FOR PEEPS. How do you measure your spread, tonight I can see one with butter and sugar and maybe one Nutella or Peanut butter one. And just curious, because I'm not going to weigh in, how does one weigh out....a dollop of nutella, or a dollop or PB (sorry dollop seems to be the best description :laugh:

    Use a tablespoon to measure out the dollop (15g in a tablespoon) and then spread it on with a knife from the spoon :) x

    15g in a tablespoon? I didn't know this, is this a general all round figure for things like that? This could change my life....

    No. Grams measure weight. Tablespoons measure volume. The same volume of different items is going to weigh quite different amounts. For instance, a tablespoon of butter weighs 14g. A tablespoon of honey weighs 21g.
