    Top with fresh fruit or preserves. Don't know what the issue is with mixes. Use a quality mix. I like TJ's pumpkin pancakes, Kodiak Cakes, Pamela's (gluten free but I just like the taste), and P28 (a protein pancake). Don't fall for the oh no carbs thing. I eat pancakes on a regular and even went 2 straight months having a huge stack for breakfast every month. I'm still lean, light, and fit.

    Even if you put syrup, as long as you don't drown them, it's still going to be only 100 calories.

    I almost never use syrup anymore though, only when I splurge on real pancakes... otherwise it's nut butter, fruit, ricotta and honey, or heck I use ham and cheese or smoked salmon and cream cheese on the kodiak protein pancakes...

    Ones I make:
    1 tsp baking soda
    20 grams of protein powder
    1/4 cup whole wheat flouer
    1 egg white
    6 ounces plain greek yogurt

    For the ingredients I use (your nutritional info will vary depending on the nutrition of your ingredients):
    Roughly 3-4 pancakes, depending on how big I pour them:
    300 calories
    2 g fat
    31 g carbs
    5 g fiber
    7 g sugar
    40 g protein

    I usually use a light syrup or the real maple stuff since the flavor goes a long way. Or eat them with peanut butter. Or just plain.

    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.

    OMG, that sounds delicious! Would you mind sharing?

    Replace half the oat flour with wheat flour so that the pancake is strong enough to be flipped. I also add half a cup protein powder.

    I also appreciate these ideas. I've never made pancakes from a mix, so it didn't occur to me to look for healthy mixes. My skinny 16 year old son will be very grateful. He's bummed nobody else wants pancakes any more.

    When all of you talk about syrup, do you mean real maple syrup or fake table syrup? Even in my sugar fiend days I thought table syrup was atrocious. I still eat maple syrup, and in reasonable quantities it doesn't taste too sweet to me. My New England soul is sad at all this talk of maple syrup being too sweet.

    If I'm going to do syrup, it'll be the pure stuff. With the good stuff, I need 1/4 ounce or even less. With the fake stuff, I'll overuse it because I'm looking for a taste I'm not going to get.

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup rolled oats/oatmeal
    3 eggs

    Blend, then cook like pancake batter.

    Delicious, high in protein, easy to make.

    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.

    there is nothing wrong with white flour...

    I make a version of this....egg whites though, vanilla, cinnamon, a little baking powder. Top with berries. Delicious and filling!

    I have tried the eggs/banana recipe and it is awesome!! EASY and awesome!

    I have heard stories that the eggs/banana recipe came out looking like scrambled eggs. My guess is that it is very important to blend the HECK out of the ingredients and make sure it is of batter consistency before it hits the pan.
