    We're having pancakes for dinner tonight (we love breakfast for dinner...) and I'm looking for an alternative to maple syrup for a topping. Anyone have any ideas?
    I don't.

    How do you like that answer.

    Sometimes I use pumpkin butter. It's really good!
    But usually, I just "splurge" on a little real maple syrup.

    Please tell me it's actually REAL and not some crap store bought stuff that's not maple syrup lol

    I just do smart choice butter, if I do eat them, or P.B. Cause I Extremely dislike sweets.

    Put some fresh blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries in your pancakes when you cook them. Bananas work too. Top with 1 tablespoon of light whipped cream. SO good. It tastes like dessert and you totally don't even need syrup.

    I just thought of this.Fresh or frozen strawberries for 1 cup are 50 cal and the light cool whip is only 20 cal per Tbs. Thanks for asking this, I never would have thought about...weird hun? I made crapes the same way for a fabulous desert. Premade crapes with the strawberries mixed with truvia to give it some syrup then add the cool whip

    I mixed low-cal syrup into the pancake batter. You still get the syrup taste but I find you use considerably less than putting it on top.

    My mom used to mix cream and brown sugar and bring to a boil on the stove. It's like the carmel on a carmel roll.
    OMG... so good. Haven't had that in a decade. mmmmmmm

    I add some banana slices to the pancakes just after they go on the griddle, then top with a little peanut butter. Delicious!

    I try to avoid having pancakes or waffles more than 1-2 times a month, though, since I don't do well with all the simple carbs.

    I may try adding some whey protein to my next round of pancakes, just to see if it helps keep me from being hungry again a couple of hours later.

    ½ cup of oatmeal, 4 egg whites, 1/3 cup fat free cottage cheese and some splenda in the blender

    Then cook in a pan like 4 min each side..

    I eat them with a fork...maybe with my hands if I'm feeling really lazy. Um, are there other ways?
