Low Fat Pancakes... can you really afford to eat them?
Greetings!
Common sense would tell you that eating pancakes is not good for your waist line, but what if they're "low fat pancakes?"
Well, then that'll be fine. Check out this Plain Ol' Pancakes recipe (the low fat version). Each pancake from this recipe is only 1.5 WW pts (meaning that you could have 4, and only do 6 points).
Of course, you would have to add whatever points any sweet toppings (like jam, honey, syrup) you decide to add. But if you're smart, you'll substitute "normal" jams (often sugar saturated) with diet jam.
But I'll give you this: diet jam sometimes sucks.
Yup. You read that right. It tastes like baby food for bad-behaving babies (a punishment, in other words).
This is what I do...
I buy a diet jam, and a 50% reduced sugar jam (often of 2 different brands), and then I mix both. That would bring a jam that is only 25% sugar (otherwise not commercially available), and that tastes sweet enough for my liking.
Sure, it still contains sugar, but not as much as normal jam, and not as little as diet jam... just the right amount for me. ;-)
And instead of butter, I use a spread called "Proactive", which ingredients assist you in lowering cholesterol.
As they say, there is more than one way to skin... a pancake!
Yours in Health,
