.....so i am craving pancakes after watching adam richman on man v. food last night dig into a 4 pound 14 inch stack of blueberry pancakes lol. my inner fat girl came out and wanted to have some pancakes! i've been researching "healthy" pancake recipes all morning and i've found a couple that i think i may try, but of course i always turn to MFP first--

what is your favorite low cal healthy pancake? could you jot down the recipe and the nutritional info and send them my way?

thanks so much!! :)

    Swap 50% of the batter with either mashed up sweat potatoes or mashed up bananas.

    I've tried incorporating into my pancakes ingredients like oats, yogurt, whole wheat flour, applesauce. Not necessarily "low calorie" but way more bang for your buck than ingredients like oil and white flour.

    Grind up oats in blender. Add rest of the ingredients. Makes 2-3 large pancakes. 393 Calories and 23g protein. They are awesome.

    1 1/4 cups gluten free oat flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1 cup apple juice
    1/3 cup apple sauce
    1 egg
    2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
    Scant salt

    In a medium size blow, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a small blow, mix together the egg, apple juice, apple sauce, and coconut oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium to medium/high heat. Coat pan with oil to prevent sticking. Once pan is hot, pour pancakes using 1/4 cup measurements. Flip when bubbles form. Makes about 14 pancakes.

    1 pancake=69 calories. If you want to add this to your diary. It is on the database called: Rachel's Recipe Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

    ENJOY!

    i like doing either apple slices dipped in pancake batter and cooked like regular pancakes or the Cooking Light Coconut pancakes. you get two pancakes for 230 calories and i love them so much that i rarely eat any other kind. Sometimes i make the apple, orange, mango sauce to go on top or use sugar free syrup. LOVE both of these!!!

    Fun show to watch. Usually not good food for dieting.

    I usually make this pancake recipe from All recipes. It's about 100 calories each pancake. The calorie overload usually comes with the syrup. Don't just pour syrup from the bottle - measure it.

    Or you could just enjoy the 'real deal', and workout a little longer. :)

    I do work out.... like 6/7 days a week, but I still want to be able to not feel guilty :) Thanks for the suggestion though!

    I just use Hungry Jack Blueberry Wheat pancake mix. One serving is 1/3 cup (160 calories), and all you add to it is water. I usually do 2/3 cup and have an egg beaters omelet with it. They're sooo yummy! To control my obsession with butter and syrup, I measure a serving of sugar-free syrup in a small bowl; then I add a small amount of whipped butter and nuke it. I find I use far less of both this way. It's not an every day food, but it it's a nice treat that doesn't blow my calories out of the water!

    I got my recipe from the Trader Joe's sight - I substitute skim/fat free milk and use applesauce instead of oil. I get 7 in a batch and they're 114 cals each.

    I just use bisquick shake and pour ( 220 calories for 3, I do 1.5) and then I add some walnuts and 1/2 small banana and 2 tablespoons Organic Maple agave syrup from Trader Joes. Hits the spot and is under 300 calories.

    Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes from http://www.food.com/recipe/oatmeal-cottage-cheese-pancakes-43072
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    4 egg whites

    1 Blend all ingredients in blender.
    2 Spray skillet with cooking spray and cook just like"silver dollar" pancakes, a few small ones at a time.
    3 Top with your favorite pancake topping!

    I made these yesterday when I was really craving pancakes and they were pretty good. I was out of maple syrup so I topped them with vanilla yogurt.

    The pancakes alone are 289 calories, 3g fat, 33g carb, 4g fiber, 32g protein. I used fat free cottage cheese.
    This also made a lot so you could probably half it if you wanted less.
