Pancake Tuesday
 

Its Pancake Tuesday :chef:

Anyone have any low cal recipes? My boyfriend is pestering me to make pancakes but I dont want to ruin all my low cal eating efforts.

Hooray for Pancake Tuesday!!! Yum!

(no recipes, sorry. I just like Pancake Tuesday!)

Mmmmm pancakes.

Hmmm, I don't have a recipe per se, but when I make pancakes I just use whole wheat pastry flour (or a high fiber multigrain mix) and top them with a little jam rather than syrup. Sliced banana is also good on top :) This knocks up the nutrition level a notch. Upping the fiber also makes it easier to stay with a smaller portion size.

Pancakes of themselves are quite lo cal ish, between 60 - 100 calories each, depending on how many eggs are in the mix, and how much oil you use. I have a crepe pan that needs no fat at all, you just dip it in the mixture then cook. The crepes are best made with 4 eggs (in pre healthy living days) but are fine made with one!!!

Like Tani I serve my pancake with lots of fruit and a bit of syrup for flavour, so I don't feel deprived, I don't know about you but I could eat a pile of pancakes without thinking.

I was naughty today, and used my weekly wildcard on a pancake with apple and raisins and toffee sauce, it was divine! (we get spolt - it was from our work cafeteria)

I was jumping for joy also....being that it is Pancake Tuesday and then realized....how can I eat them and still be low carb for the day?

I went to the grocery store and checked out about 15 different brands and settled on a whole wheat mix. It really isn't the pancake that is the problem, its the toppings that you put on them....BUTTER AND SYRUP!!! I'm planning on having mine with a sf syrup and cinnamon. My ex-neighbour used to have a pancake breakfast every year and the toppings were killers.....caramel sauce, fudge sauce, whip cream, chocolate chips etc etc.....ENJOY!!

can you make pancakes with egg whites like you can omelettes to lower the cals? I don't know I've never tried it.
