1 Point Pancakes: Weight Watchers Friendly –

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 packet zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia or Monk Fruit)
  • Cooking spray

Optional Toppings (Adjust Points as Needed):

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sugar-free syrup
  • Fat-free whipped topping
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Heat the Skillet:
    • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake (you should be able to make 6-8 small pancakes).
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite low-point toppings. Serve warm and enjoy guilt-free!

Tips and Variations:

  • Add a Flavor Twist: Mix in a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy flavor.
  • Protein Boost: Add 1-2 tbsp of plain, fat-free Greek yogurt to the batter for added protein (adjust points accordingly).
  • Make It Savory: Skip the sweetener and vanilla, and add a pinch of salt and herbs for a savory twist.
  • Meal Prep: Make a large batch and freeze extras. Reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast option.
