Weight Watchers (WW) fluffy pancakes are a delicious and lighter version of traditional pancakes, perfect for a satisfying breakfast without the guilt. Here’s a simple recipe that keeps the points low while still delivering on taste and texture.
WW Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
-
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or a sugar substitute)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
-
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup skim milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, yogurt, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- Customization: You can add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor.
- Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or toaster.
- Serving Size: Adjust the serving size according to your WW points. You can also use a food scale to measure the batter for more precise portion control.
Enjoy your fluffy WW pancakes! They make for a delightful breakfast that everyone will love.
