Who doesn’t have fond memories of pancakes for breakfast? Stacks of deliciousness slathered in butter and syrup might not seem like they fit into a WW program, but with this recipe you can enjoy banana pancakes (with chocolate chips!) anytime for only 3 points per pancake!
Or you can leave the chocolate chips out and these weight watchers banana pancakes will only be 1 point for 2 pancakes.
The base recipe is completely customizable so you can swap the sugar free chocolate chips for fruit or nuts. Finish with a scoop of thick creamy greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey and you’ll be in pancake heaven!
The oats and banana offer slow release energy and plenty of good stuff, plus these freeze really well so I like to have a stack in the freezer ready to thaw for a quick snack.
