NOTES : Yummy! My favorite on days off work. Grab a big cup of steaming hot coffee and you've got a breakfast that will keep you filled up all morning long.

If you can't find the Vans brand of waffle, look for a different brand multigrain waffle and adjust the points accordingly.

If some of you guys like to stay low carb/high protein, but miss pancakes and waffles, then i have discovered the best recipe!! it's a crepe recipe, and the recipe is for ONE serving... it makes 6 crepes for only 3.5 pts!! I have made them the past two days and have topped them with fat free strawberry yogurt and with ff cool whip mixed with vanilla yogurt and 'vanilla butter nut' extract. delicious!! i also added banana extract to the batter and it was just like banana nut. top with a little sugar free syrup and you have an awesome breakfast. okay anyways, here's the recipe:

Fresh and Lean Crepes

1/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese
2 Tbls. plain oatmeal
6 egg whites
vanilla to taste
packet of splenda
cinnamon if you want

-Blend in a blender for 30 secs. This makes two cups of batter. spray small skillet or pan with pam. To make six crepes, put 1/3 c. in pan at a time. when you add the crepe swirl it around in the pan to coat evenly. very carefully, flip and cook on other side. since it takes a while to cook them all, keep a plate in a 250 degree oven and keep the cooked crepes in there with a pot lid covering them. If you want to make a yummy topping to make it a 4.5/5 pt. breakfast, make this:

2 Tbls. cottage cheese
3 Tbls. ff cool whip
1 Tbls. any flavor ff yogurt you want(i used vanilla)
any extract you want ( i used vanilla butter nut)

Blend in blender and refrigerate while making crepes. spoon into cooked crepes and roll up.

3.5 pts for all 6 crepes
1/1.5 pts for topping

Seriously, try these, they're sooo good!

Hi,
I don't do WW so I don't know how this recipe falls in to the point system but it is a good, healthy one. I serve them serve them with 2 tbsp light syrup and 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries...or I stir the blueberries right into the batter. It is good either way or plain.
3/4 cup AP flour
3/4 cup wheat flour
3 1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 T. white sugar (or can use splenda)
1 1/4 c. skim milk or no fat buttermilk
1 egg, or egg substitute to equal one egg
3 T. reduced calorie margarine, melted

Mix it all up. Makes about 8 pancakes using 1/4 cup batter each. The full calorie recipe (using all AP flour, real butter, etc.) had a total of 159 calories and 6 grams of fat, so this one has a little less than that.

Blueberry Blintz
1 c flour
1-1/2 skim milk
½ c Egg Beaters
¼ tsp salt
Blueberries
Blueberry Syrup
Fat Free Cottage Cheese

Combine first 4 ingredients until blended. Using a 6” skillet put 2 Tbsp of batter in pan. Use fat free spray 3 sec spray on pan so they don’t stick. Only cook one side. Makes about 22. Make sure that you let the skillet cool in between crepes.
In the center of the crepe, put 2 Tbsp Fat free Cottage cheese. Wrap the crepe around and put 2 Tbsp Blueberries and 1 Tbsp Blueberry Syrup on top of each crepe. Serving size is 3 crepes. 5 points

Whole-Grain Banana Pancakes with Blackberry Syrup
(from WeightWatchers.com)

POINTS® value | 8
Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 15 min
Cooking Time | 15 min
Level of Difficulty | Moderate

Give your favorite pancake mix a health boost. Roasted nut oils deliver unsaturated fats, while flax seeds and wheat germ up the fiber, vitamin E, folic acid and Omega-3 fatty acid contents. The result is ultra-tasty and ultra-filling.

1 sprays cooking spray
2 cup unsweetened frozen blackberries, or fresh blackberries
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix, or other brand
1/4 cup flax seed(s)
1/4 cup wheat germ, toasted-variety
1 cup fat-free skim milk
3 large egg white(s)
1 Tbsp walnut oil, roasted-variety
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 medium banana(s), thinly sliced

Instructions:

Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat.

In a small saucepan, combine blackberries and powdered sugar; set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens and reduces, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pancake mix, flax seeds and wheat germ; mix with a fork to combine. Add milk, egg whites, oil and vanilla extract; whisk until large lumps disappear (ignore any small lumps).

For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4-cup of batter onto hot griddle or skillet. Cook until bubbles appear around edges and then top each pancake with banana slices; flip pancake. Cook until golden on both sides, about 1 minute more.

Remove cooked pancakes to a serving plate and cover with foil to keep warm (or keep warm in a 250ºF oven). Repeat with remaining batter to make 12 pancakes. Serve pancakes with blackberry syrup spooned over top. Yields 3 pancakes and about 3 tablespoons of syrup per serving. (Cheree: Maybe cut down the points by eating only 1 or 2 of the pancakes instead of 3.)

Serve them with pure maple syrup or with fresh berries and a little low fat vanilla yogurt.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1 egg, lightly beaten, or 1/4 cup egg substitute
* 1 cup low fat buttermilk
* 2 tsp canola oil
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 cup seasonal chopped fruit (optional)

PREPARATION:

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add wet ingredients. Stir with a whisk until smooth.

If you’re using fruit, add it now. For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup of batter on to a hot griddle or nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Turn pancakes when bubbles appear and edges are cooked, after about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook for 1 minute on second side.

We make pancakes every weekend morning. I have my own concoction that I have come up with. I have done ww for many years and have come up with lots of different little recipes along the way!

Oatmeal Pancakes

2 packs of low-sugar instant apple cinnamon oatmeal (you can use any flavor as long as it is 2/pts per pack) 4 pts

add enough water to cook the oatmeal in the microwave

to that add 2/3 cup heart smart bisquick 6 pts (you may need to add a smidgen more, depending on the consistancy of the oatmeal)

then, to this add egg whites, I normally add about 6 or so, again, depending on the consistancy. 1 pt

mix everything up and cook on griddle sprayed with pam

I normally get about 5 pancakes at 2 pts each. They are good, hearty, and, are pretty high in protein!

Not a pancake person, but I tried these ones and LOVED them. I made modifications from the original recipe though, originally taken from SparkRecipes.com.

Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour, 1.25 cup
Baking Soda, 1 tsp
Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, 2 tbsp
Skim Milk, 1 cup
Eggbeaters, .5 cup
Vanilla extract, 1 tbsp
Cinnamon, 2 tbsp


Directions

Mix flour, baking soda, and splenda in bowl. Mix milk, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl. Beat into dry mix roughly, so as to add more air to mix. Stir in cinnamon last. Serving size is 1/3 cup mix. Use PAM on skillet when cooking and sweeten with sugar free syrup and/or fruit!
Number of Servings: 8


I used 2 whole eggs instead of the beaters, and once replaced the splenda with 1 tbsp brown sugar. It's also easy to throw in some wheat germ for fiber.
I did add 1 tsp baking powder though, makes them a little fluffier. :-)

These were really filling for me, yummy!

Happenstance, what's the pp on your pancakes?

2 slices "light" wheat bread (40 calories each) 2 pts (I've also used the 2 point hamburger buns)
3 egg whites 1 pt
1 tbs sugar substitute
1 tsp maple extract

in pie plate beat egg whites with sugar substitue and maple extract, place both slices of bread in mixture to absorb, repeat on other side

put slices in hot waffle iron and cook until crisp, serve with sugar free maple syrup and fruit 3 points total

I usually take the remaining mixture that was not absorbed and put it in a skillet and make a small crepe in which I wrap 2 oz of cracked black pepper sliced turkey (1 point) It makes a very filling 4 point breakfast

2 waffles (I like wheat free) - 6 points plus
1 cup greek plain yogurt - 7 points plus
fresh blueberries - free

Toast frozen waffles. Spread greek yogurt. Sprinkle Berries on top. Could use non fat yogurt or only eat 1 waffle for less points.

Loveeee me some Trader Joes!
