Pancake Substitution Recipes

I love pancakes but there's so many unnecessary fillers, sugars, and carbs in them. Not to mention, the syrup! Does anyone know pancake substitution recipes? I'm allergic to bananas so I can't do those banana pancakes either.

I don't count flour or baking soda as fillers.
I have a pumpkin protein pancake made with oat flour, pumpkin purée, protein powder, cinnamon, egg, and stevia.
I serve it with frozen fruit and Greek yogurt.0 -
I'm sorry, I probably should have clarified. I'm trying to stay away from white flour and pancake mix. It's a filler to me b/c all of the nutrients are basically stripped in white flour and sugar is always added to the boxed mixes. I've heard oat or almond flour was a healthier substitute though. I'll try your pumpkin pancake b/c it sounds great.0

I like the protein Kodiak pancake mix. I don't eat many white refined flours so I think of it as just sort of a treat. The protein part makes it a more effective breakfast for me because with regular pancakes I'm gnawing on my arm with hunger in an hour! hahaha0

Quest has a few recipes for pancakes using their protein powers and various flours (almond and coconut IIRC). They have a lot better macronutrient profile to them, but definitely not as fluffy as regular pancakes.
But generally, eggs (or associated omelets) are my go to breakfast on the weekends. During the week, it's either oatmeal with protein powder, raisins and cinnamon or a P28 protein bagel with peanut butter.0 -
I use one that makes a flatter pancake, more of a crepe, but we love it...
6oz Philly 1/3 less fat cream cheese
5 large eggs
2oz Fairlife 2%
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (we're using Body Fortress right now)
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature, then mix it all together until smooth and cook on a hot griddle. I get 8 pancakes out of the above recipe.
cals:140
carbs: 1
fibre: 0
protein: 10
fat: 11
These keep for about a week in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer, and they freeze/thaw very easily and quickly.0 -
I second Kodiak mixes.. they use whole grains. Honestly haven't found any other pancake substitute that is actually satisfying when I crave pancakes.0

We have been making the same buttermilk pancake recipe for yrs now. We got the recipe from a weight watchers cookbook. It is delicious and I wouldn't want it any other way. I also don't use syrup though. Just butter. Syrup is too sweet to me.0

Have you tried protein pancakes?0

When I make a pancake with no wheat flour at all I find it very delicate and hard to flip. Even 1/4 cup white flour added to any flour you might use (oat, almond, etc.) will give you a more satisfying product.0

If syrup seems too sweet, try the mountain fruit company fruit sauces. No sugar, fruit only. The flavors are perfection! I love the Marrionberry, strawberry and apricot. Delicious warmed & smeared on hot Kodiak pancakes.0

Look up recipes for cottage cheese pancakes or ricotta pancakes. Very tasty, great texture, more protein. Yes, they use some flour. You could substitute oat flour or whole wheat flour if that bothers you. It might be that almond flour would work, too but that would be an experiment.0

Interesting. I will check these out. I usually just use jam on mine. Peanut butter and jam is great on pancakes.0 -

No, not yet, because I usually get lean protein drinks instead of the powder.

You might try making your own sauce, say, from dried fruit or berries in season. Super easy to do.
Here's a recipe with berries. Simply skip adding the sugar.

This spicy chutney would have an unforgettable flavour but you could also make it without added sugar. The raisins are sweet enough.

Here's the cottage cheese pancake recipe I use: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/fluffy-cottage-cheese-pancakes
For one serving, I quarter the recipe and make one giant pancake. @Destinyy -you could use whole wheat flour. If not using wheat flour, it will be harder to flip so I suggest smaller pancakes.
I added 1 ounce of mulberries and 3/4 ounce of chopped walnuts.
What I do to reduce syrup is not add it until I have eaten at least half. These are fairly sweet on their own, and towards the end I added 7 grams of honey (about a teaspoon.)
That kind of pancake makes me sleepy so I save it for the end of the day/special treat. For breakfast, I make "pancakes" with grated sweet potatoes, broccoli and onions, and eggs and 1 T flour.

I don't like fruit in and on stuff. So butter is good enough for me.0
