Why You Will Love This Recipe
These pancakes are loaded with protein and help keep you full! They have eggs, Greek Yogurt, and my new favorite lactose free high protein milk from Fairlife.
They are great served with my Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce!
You can switch up the self-rising flour to make these even higher in protein and use Kodiak Pancake Mix.
These pancakes can be made on an outdoor griddle like a Blackstone.
This pancake has a tang to it because of the Greek yogurt used but you can use your favorite maple syrup to help sweeten the pancakes up and top it with some fresh fruit.
There's so many zero point options on WW to make this a full complete meal.
Ingredients Needed
- Self-rising flour is a type of flour that is pre-mixed with baking powder and salt. This combination of ingredients helps baked goods rise without the need for additional leavening agents.
- Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt is zero points and helps keep the pancakes low points.
- Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Unsweetened almond milk - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife or almond milk. It also has more protein in it.
- Vanilla - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to make Weight Watcher Pancakes
Step 1: In a large bowl whisk together flour, greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Let the batter rest for a couple of minutes and set a side while a pan heats up.
Step 2: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle. Brown on both sides and serve hot. Serve with your favorite maple syrup.
Flavor Pancake Boosters (0-Point Additions)
Don't just settle for vanilla extract. Try these to make the aroma jump off the plate:
- Citrus Zest: Lemon or orange zest in the batter makes the recipe feel "bright" and gourmet.
- Extract Swaps: Try almond, coconut, or cake batter extract instead of vanilla.
- Spices: Beyond cinnamon, try a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg. Cardamom, specifically, makes anything taste like it came from a high-end bakery.
- Homemade Applesauce Recipe or Sugar-Free Strawberry Sauce are some great zero point sauces for these pancakes.
Low-Point Tips
- The "Syrup" Trick: If you want a bit of a syrup vibe, mix a tiny amount of sugar-free maple syrup into your warm apple sauce just before serving. The apple flavor grounds the artificial sweetener, making it taste more like a homemade fruit reduction.
- Temperature Play: Serve the pancakes piping hot and keep your fruit sauces at room temperature (or just slightly warmed). The contrast in temperature makes the dish feel more intentional and "restaurant-quality.
Stay full until Lunch!
Air Fryer Turkey Bacon or Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage is the gold standard. It provides that salty, savory "crunch" that contrasts perfectly with the sweet notes of your apple and strawberry sauces.
Scrambled Eggs on Blackstone Griddle - make them savory and fresh chives, parsley, or cheese!
You can also try serving pancakes with different types of sugar-free syrup.
Super Crispy Hashbrowns on Blackstone - spread them thin on the griddle to get those jagged, golden edges. They add the "volume" needed to keep you satisfied for hours.
Recipe FAQs
The recipe builder app from WW is what I use to figure out points for all my recipes. You have to pay the monthly fee in order to use it.
This could be quite a number of reasons and here are a few that I have come across. I double-check all my recipes to make sure every ingredient is listed in the recipe builder correctly.

One thing Weight Watchers is teaching me is how to have a healthy balanced meal that keeps me full longer. I posted this pic to my Instagram account (feel free to follow me!) and it received a lot of likes. What amazes me is how much food you can have with these pancakes for only 7 points!

Egg and banana pancakes are very good that's all I mix together and they come out great
MICHAEL OXMAN says
Great recipe. I subbed 1% milk for the almond milk. I was weary of WW pancakes but will definitely make these again.
Mama says
The banana pancakes you are talking about need baking powder about 1/4-1tsp.
Jenna says
The points are listed in the notes section of the recipe.
Lisa says
Ok when i had these made i felt like it should have been 1/8 cup not 1 1/8 cup? They ere so thick i had to add water i got 8 pancakes this way. They didnt taste bad though. I feel rather full so im not sure what the point value is.

There are a few different reasons you are getting different points than what I have listed.

Hopefully, that helps. Thanks!
Christine says
These pancakes are delicious, however I am getting much higher points when I calculate. Self-rising flour has 12 points for 1 1/8 cup. I had 3-4 small pancakes at 4 points and froze the rest (which I will probably throw out because I was anticipating 0-1 points). How are you arriving at the point calculations? I am on the purple plan.
Kathy says
If you separate the eggs and mix the yolks into the batter and then beat the egg whites to stiff peaks before folding into the batter you would get fluffier pancakes.
Jenna says
That's the nice thing about internet recipes. You can use whatever serving size and ingredient you like!
You might also want to delete cookies or refresh your browser because I had recently updated the serving size. It is now 2 tablespoons.
Heather says
I used all purpose flour. Is that the reason I only got 5 pancakes at 1/3 cup batter each?
