I absolutely love pancakes, but when I analyzed the recipe I realized that there were some things I could do to make them healthier, but still taste great. So I thought I would share my "low calorie" pancake, They are about 100cal/cake and if you replace the sugar with splenda sweetner you could drop another couple of calories from that.
Gasman's Famous 100cal Pancakes:
Dry:
1 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
Wet:
1 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
Whisk Dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Mix wet ingredients together, whisk until frothy and the apple sauce is mixed throughout. Add the wet to the dry and just mix untill everything is combined, do not overmix, the batter should be lumpy.
I use a nonstick electric frying pan, set at 315F, I do not use any oil or grease on the grill.
Use a 1/4cup measuring cup to portion out the pancakes, this recipe will make about 7 cakes
I will usually have 2 pancakes, with a few strawberries, blackberries, and two tablespoon of low calorie telephone pole syrup (aunt jemima).
This breakfast costs me about 300calories, and it's worth every calorie.
Yumm!
Oh yummy, I'll have to try that one next time. Thankfully he doesn't want to eat pancakes very often, so I don't have to deal with it a lot. But when that happens again, I'll have a recipe to try. Thanks!!
