I love pancakes and appreciate that there are a lot in Spark recipes to choose from. Even so, I found some new ones here to try. The low fat, use of egg sub or egg whites has taught me a lot I needed to know with cholesterol concerns. Report

My kids love pancakes. Making pancakes from scratch is super easy and much healthier. I make ours with a mix of whole grain flours and flaxseed. Mine are high protein because I use eggs, greek yogurt & protein powder. Since I use yogurt, I don't have to add butter or oil or any sugar. I also always add fruit and a lot of times even veggies like carrots or spinach. There are so many different varieties that you can make. My kids also never add syrup or butter. I choose not to raise them with that unnecessary bad habit. When their friends spend the night they all say that my pancakes are the best and I just smile knowing that they are eating something super healthy. Report

Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancakes and the Peanut Butter And Banana Pancakes, and Carrot Cake Pancakes all sound really good, although the sodium is more than I wanted for the carrot cake ones and the peanut butter ones. I will be trying the cottage cheese ones though. Report

I might try the oatmeal ones, but ever since I discovered the low-carb almond meal pancakes (SP Recipe), we don't make anything else. No flour and gluten-free, BTW. I have tweaked the recipe a little bit. I use 1/2 almond meal flour, (Bob's Red Mill or homemade) and 1/2 cup oat or barley flour, instead of 1/2 almond meal and 1/2 rice flour. I use a TBL of coconut oil mixed with the egg and milk, and I usually add blueberries. DH uses maple syrup, but I often eat them as is. These are so satisfying, I don't get hungry for hours.

LOL - not the pancake that's the problem - it's the syrup substitute.

I microwave 2 cut up apples with a tsp. of sugar (or splenda) till they're soft, then stir in a little milk. On waffles or pancakes it makes everything taste like apple cake. Report

Sounds good. I can't eat bread or anything that is like bread because of swallowing issues....but pancakes sound delicious. Report

I have a recipe for a pancake mix that you can use like Bisquick, but whole wheat pancakes.

This recipe is from Allrecipes.com. The calories count is just for the dry ingredients.


Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS FOR PANCAKES:
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup nonfat milk
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS FOR BLUEBERRY BANANA PANCAKES:
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup nonfat milk
1 medium ripe banana, mashed
3/4 cup blueberries





Directions

In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.
2. To prepare pancakes: In a bowl, combine egg and milk. Whisk in 1 cup pancake mix. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown
3. To prepare blueberry banana pancakes: In a bowl, combine egg, milk and banana. Whisk in 1 cup pancake mix. Fold in blueberries. Cook as directed above.

We love pancakes. My husband makes crepes sometimes on the weekend. I'd love to try the blueberry oatmeal. I should be trying the 100 calorie pancakes. Report

do not like pancakes never have. have not made any since the kids grew up and left home (20 years) Report
AARONSGIRL420
After reviewing some of these, I am shocked they made it to the HEALTHY list. The carrot ones have over 400 mg of sodium per serving. That is a bit crazy for pancakes. Some are made from boxed, processed refined ingredients and it just solidifies my resolve to stay away from pancakes...period. Report
MONA791
LIZABAKER - I agree with you! Report
LIZABAKER
ah. upon rereading the recipes, i find they're full of processed ingredients.... how about just making them with real sugar, real milk, real eggs...and just eating fewer of them? Report
LIZABAKER
These all sound great, but I'm confused: what's unhealthy about pancakes to begin with?!? Made with whole wheat flour, milk, egg, a tiny bit of sugar.... What's to dislike? Report
STUBBSGMA11
Yum! I gotta try me some of them cinnamon pancakes! The pumpkin panacakes also sound yummy! Report
FJELLREV
What a coincidence. I've been craving pancakes over the past day and I normally never do. I need to try a couple of these! Report
