Weight Watchers Pancakes (low point) No Bananas

Weight Watchers Pancakes  – A simple low point pancake that only requires 5 ingredients. Perfect for brunching on the Weekends or for brinner during the weeknights.

Can we taco bout pancakes? I can’t believe I haven’t posted a recipe for low point pancake on this blog yet. I do have other recipes for pancakes such as Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes, Cottage Cheese Pancakes, and Pumpkin Pancakes but no recipe for a low point Weight Watcher pancake. 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. 

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!

Serving Size:

I made the serving size for 1 pancake so it is easier to track. If you have 3 pancakes that are 3 points. I served mine with 3 chicken sausage links, 1 ¼ cup of Ore Ida Shredded Hash browns, and a fried egg. When making the hash browns I just heat a nonstick and add the frozen hash browns straight to the pan and spray the pan with  Pam first. I like my hash browns crispy on the edges and this helps them get that way. I’ll cook them on low heat at 5 and flip after about 5 minutes or once the bottom is crispy. The egg cooks in the same pan as well and I just microwave 3 chicken sausages with some paper towels for 3 minutes.

Heck, I even tried making those 2 ingredient pancakes that are made with just an egg and banana. Every time I attempted to make those I gave up because they don’t work for me. It made me wonder if people were adding actual flour to their pancake just to make them look nice and fluffy for Pinterest. Some of the pictures I see of those 2 ingredient pancakes online look like a pro made them. Whoever can get those pancakes to work, what is your secret? Pancakes need a leavening agent to help make them rise and there is none in that recipe!

Ingredients for Weight Watcher Pancakes

• Self Rising Flour
• Plain FF Greek Yogurt
• Eggs
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Vanilla

How to make Weight Watcher Pancakes

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.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Use 2 tablespoons to measure the batter onto the griddle.  Brown on both sides and serve hot. Serve with your favorite maple syrup.

Tips for Weight Watchers Pancakes

My recipe for pancakes requires 5 simple ingredients. No sugar is added to the recipe because the maple syrup acts as a sweetener for the pancakes. Another thing I see online a lot lately is people using self-rising flour wrong. There is no need to add any extra yeast, baking powder, or baking soda to self-rising-flour because there is already baking powder in self-rising flour! It is simple science. Trust me, I’ve made plenty of muffins, 2 ingredient dough, and bagels with it and it rises just fine.

Serve your pancakes with sliced bacon, turkey bacon, eggs, fruit, and hash browns to make a filling meal.

Serving Sizes: Some of you are not getting 10 pancakes. You can add an additional 1/8th cup of flour and that will not change the points. If you get 8 pancakes the points will be 2 per pancake. Use 2 tablespoons to measure. I like my pancakes a little bit bigger and will use more batter to change the amount.

How do you figure out points for recipes? 

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. 

Why am I still getting different points from what you have listed? 

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.

Number of servings the recipe makes 

Low-Fat/Fat-Free ingredients used 

Missing ingredients from a recipe – did you enter them all in? 

Zero Point foods for the 3 different plans

Using the nutrition info calculator instead of the recipe builder provided by WW – this does not calculate zero point foods correctly if they are in a recipe.
