No-Flour 65 Calorie Blueberry Pancakes
I just tried a recipe for no-flour 65-calorie blueberry pancakes I saw on a blog by TaraLynn McNitt, called 'Undressed Skeleton', I'll post the link below. Anyway, these turned out yummy!!
All it uses is 1 egg, 1 large banana and some blueberries.
Delicious. Honestly, tasted like pancakes!
Thought maybe someone else might like this idea

Yum that looks good and so easy. thanks for sharing : )0

No problem!
I was skeptical at first, thinking they'd just taste like eggs. But they dont.0 -
YUM!0
-
yummy indeed. i have pancakes like this sometimes, except my recipe calls for some PB as well. i add the blueberries after. they are yummmmmy. GF and delish!0

Seems like a lot of effort and compromise to save 15 calories. Bisquick pancakes (46 g bisquick complete per 2 pancakes) are 80 calories each. If you have a legitimate gluten problem, maybe. I hate pretending foods are other foods.0

I do the same thing but also add Almond/cashew butter - don't eat flour/bisquick etc - don't feel good when I do so the sans flour route pancakes are awesome!0
-
Sounds really good!0
-
This look yummy! I don't eat wheat so flour-free suggestions are a perfect fit for me. Thanks for sharing!0
-
Look amazing, cannot wait to make these for me and my little ones. Thank you.0
-
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Hubby is doing the no flour- no sugar. I was told to avoif grains and see if it helped my asthma. It does seem to help. So hard to avoid, though. Grains are in EVERYTHING!! :sad:0

If you have ever left your Bisquick too long in the pantry and it has hatched.... You'll never eat it again. I may try these! Even if they don't taste like a scratch pancake they may be a fun breakfast. Thanks!0

Well I wont.... who wants an undressed skeleton anyway? what kinda motivational point is that? If I was a lesbian (which I'm not although I have a healthy appreciation of a beautiful female form..... which isn't skeletal by the way)... I would like curves... in and out? healthy.... straight down or curving out...barrel fat0
-
oh and ketonic starvation breath from someone lacking essential fats and calories? Not sexy? come on woman... give us some real food. Moderation in all things.... no need for radical cutting out of food groups or ridiculous diets. Eat less, move more. End of story0

i happen to love the undressed skeleton blog.. her story is quite inspirational and she does have lots of awesome recipes... i've been wanting to try these pancakes, not because i'm avoiding carby goodness, but because i have real issues including fruits in my diet haha.. so banana based pancakes might be a good start for me!0

Hokay, just so we're clear, I'm pretttty sure this isn't a post about starving or lacking nutrition at all. Undressed Skeleton just happens to be the name of her blog. She lost weight by exercising and eating healthier foods. Of course, you would know that if you happened to even read her blog instead of jumping on this post because of the name of it.
Furthermore, I did not post this for the basis of "radical cutting out of food groups or ridiculous diets." I posted it under "Recipes" because I made them, and they were delicious. And that's basically it. Get it? A new recipe.
Great way to get fruit in your diet. I was genuinely surprised they didn't taste like...eggs and bananas.
But yeah, Serious Sally, thanks for your input about the hypothetical situation in which you're a lesbian. I can now live happily knowing your preferences.0 -
I made these this morning... YUM!!! My 6 year old helped make them and he thought it was really fun, however he didn't care for the taste. They are surprisingly pancakey in flavor and texture, but just different enough that it may take a few attempts to get the kiddos on board with them over the traditional fluffy buttermilks:) Anyways, I used one large banana, one egglands best extra large egg(whole), dash of cinnamon, and added the blueberries. Served with 1/8 cup generic light syrup. It makes 3-4 and I don't really think anyone is going to eat just one pancake (you'll probably eat them all)...

Nice. I'll be excited to try these!0
-
Wow, those look amazing. I need to go buy bananas then it looks like it'll be pancakes for lunch!0

I'm new to all this on this site. Trying to eat healthier and lose the baby weight (my baby is now one). I don't have any blueberries in the house, but thought this would be a fun low-cal. breakfast for me and the kiddos tomorrow. Would strawberries work as I have a bunch of those? Also, would it change the calories much?0

Having Banana Pancakes would probably take you out of ketosis for the day unless it was the only thing you eat for the day. Bananas are high in carbs and being in ketosis means you arent consuming more then about 25g of carbs a day ( depending on the person). I think you have your wires crossed on the intention of this post. Not only is this reciepe low in calories but clean as well with no proccessed flour etc. Being healthy is not just about the number of calories your consuming but the toxins your putting into your body0 -

any type of berries would be good to go. Gotta love berry season :happy:0 -
Tried them. Didn't like them very much. They were very sweet and kind of slimy. Not like pancakes at all. Maybe I did something wrong.0

Thanks! Little man and I are going to eat these in just a few minutes! They look yummy!0

wwooaahhh!! get off your high horse missy! have you even looked at her blog? i followed her awhile ago and she lost weight through healthy eating and exercising. i find her story inspirational.
why dont you check it out and see how she actually came up w her name.0 -
I am trying to stay away from gluten as well- Has anyone tried adding ground oatmeal with these?0
-
tried em, loved em... i used one banana, one egg, and a little scoop of chocolate chips.. delish!! yeah, the texture is a bit different, but not a huge issue.. thanks for posting this. i saw it on her blog a while ago but was skeptical at first. glad i decided to give it a shot.0

Thanks for the link to the blog -- it's a really good blog. And she's made quite a transformation in her life; good for her.
I made these this morning, with less egg:
1 egg
2 bananas
20 blueberries
1 tsp pb2 on top
Maybe the change in egg / banana ratio threw things off; it was hard to keep it together, so it ended up being more like mashed potatoes than a pancake -- but that's no big deal
I don't think I'd eat it again for breakfast (I'd just rather have an omelet or smoothie), but for a evening warm dessert that's healthy option, it seems like a good substitute0 -

I agree with pretending foods are other foods -- I don't get spicing or shaping vegetables to mimic meat.
On the flip side, I'm okay with veggie burgers as you're not wanting a hamburger, just a form factor that makes eating it with bread easier.
But if someone disagrees with my take, that's fine; it's their choice; whatever they enjoy eating.
I think in the case of this recipe, the comparison to pancake is mostly that they have similar shapes and textures.
But a couple of counter points to the calorie issue:
1. This is a lot more filling, so it's a lot more than 15 calorie savings. Maybe more like 400 calorie savings if you compare "ate to being fill' on both
2. It's also healthier
So my take: if you want a pancake, have one occasionally. This really isn't a pancake as the main ingredient is completely different. If you like the way this tastes, then feel free to have it more often as there's nothing wrong with the ingredients (unless you add syrup on top)0 -
Sounds like the the two-ingredient pancake recipe only with blueberries added in. I'm yet to try either one, thanks for the reminder!0
-
Wow. Sounds delish and my kids will get a kick out of it cause they can actually make it themselves as well! Thank you!0
