How To Make Low Calorie Pancakes?

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (blended into a fine flour)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or your preferred flavour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Skinny Mixes Sugar-Free Maple Donut Syrup 
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, a dollop of low-fat yoghurt, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth

Instructions

  • Toss the rolled oats into a blender or food processor and blitz until you have fine flour (or you can get oat flour from the market and skip this step)
  • In a bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk to make sure everything's chummy.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, egg white, and vanilla extract. 
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients, gently folding them together until you have a smooth, thick batter. Don't overmix.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the pan, shaping your pancakes into perfect circles. Let them cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or two.
  • Now for the best part! Drizzle your pancakes generously with Skinny Mixes Sugar-Free Maple Donut Syrup, letting the warm goodness soak in. Feel free to stack them high, because guilt is not invited to this party!

Skinny Stack FAQs: Your Guide to A Perfect Low Calorie Pancakes Recipe!

  • Q: Can I use different protein powders?

  • Absolutely! Choose a flavour that complements the maple syrup, like vanilla, cinnamon, or even banana. Experiment and find your favourite combo!


  • Q: What if I don't have applesauce?

  • No worries! Substitute with mashed banana, ricotta cheese, or even plain yogurt for a similar binding effect. Adjust the liquid amount if needed to maintain a thick batter.


  • Q: My pancakes aren't fluffy! What went wrong?

  • Overmixing can be the culprit! Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. A few lumps are okay, they actually contribute to fluffiness. Additionally, ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter.


  • Q: Can I make these vegan?

  • Of course! Use plant-based protein powder, unsweetened plant-based milk, and a chia or flax egg replacement for the egg white. Choose vegan-friendly Skinny Mixes syrups for ultimate guilt-free indulgence.


  • Q: Are these really low-calorie?

  • Compared to traditional pancake recipes, yes! However, the exact calorie count depends on the specific protein powder and syrup you use. Remember, moderation is key!


  • Q: Can I add other toppings?

  • The possibilities are endless! Fresh fruit, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate chips, or even a dollop of low-fat yogurt are all fantastic options. Get creative and personalize your stacks!
