6 Easy Low Calorie Pancake Recipes
Easy, healthy pancakes
Whether you like your pancakes plump and fluffy similar to American style pancakes, or more of a thin and flavourful crepe, it can’t be denied that pancakes are in the top tier of breakfasts. You can enjoy them with sweet and savoury toppings and, when made with the right ingredients, can provide you with a nutritious and fibre-rich meal.
How to make low calorie, low carb pancakes
Love pancakes but not gluten? Swap out the regular flour for a Lo-Dough base - blitzed up in a food processor to make bread crumbs - to create a gluten free and high fibre pancake batter. Top tip: to get ahead of time in the morning, make up your batter the night before and store in the fridge.
Banana Pancakes (367 kcals)
If you like your pancakes stacked up, you’d be hard-pushed to get better than these. Packed full of fibre while keeping the calories to a minimum, this would be the perfect start to any day!
Scotch Pancakes with Bacon & Syrup (360 kcals)
If you like your pancakes a little more savoury, try topping with bacon and low calorie syrup. The mixture of sweet and salty is not something to be missed.

Indulgence doesn’t always equate to calories. These chocolate pancakes taste like a real treat, yet you can enjoy a generous serving for under 200 calories. The perfect low calorie dessert for any chocolate lover.
Low Carb Scotch Pancakes (157 kcals)
Sometimes simple is best. Fluffy scotch pancakes served with your favourite toppings - creme fraiche, syrup, yoghurt - all for a little over 150 kcals.
Gluten Free Raspberry and Vanilla Pancakes (241 kcals)
