🥞 Weight Watchers Pancakes (Low-Point & Fluffy)
Makes 6 small pancakes | ~1-2 points per pancake depending on WW plan
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk if you prefer – adjust points)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce (acts as oil substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol – optional)
- Cooking spray (for pan)
Instructions:
- Mix wet ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, applesauce, vanilla, and sweetener. - Add dry ingredients:
Stir in the flour (and baking powder + salt if using all-purpose flour). Mix just until combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes. - Cook:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for 1–2 more minutes. - Serve:
Top with zero-point options like fresh berries, banana slices (check your plan), cinnamon, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
🍽️ Optional Add-Ins (adjust points if needed):
- 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- ½ mashed banana
- Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts for crunch
