Weight Watchers Vegan Pancakes
Weight Watchers Low-Point Vegan Pancakes – with indulgent option
One of the nice things about doing Weight Watchers is that there are so many ways to eat your favourite foods. The “point” system makes it simplistic for anyone to lose weight without becoming a total expert in nutrition or counting calories. And of course, without denying themselves of their favourite foods.
It’s always nice to have new recipes in your arsenal to keep things fresh and interesting – and sometimes the weekends just call for pancakes.
This total recipe has 14 Smart Points – BUT it makes around 6 decently-sized pancakes. This means that each pancake is only around 2 points.
Under the older system, these are only 10 points.
Under the new system, followers of the program have around 23 points while the old system had around 30 (source).
However, under the new system, there are wide-variety of berries that are considered to be “zero-point” foods. This means you can enjoy a few pancakes with a cup of fresh strawberries, blueberries and/or blackberries while keeping your point consumption to a minimum.
The great part about this recipe is how flexible it is. While the pancakes are delicious plain or with some fresh fruit, you can also make them super rich for people not following the program.
If you have points to spare, or have kids that aren’t following the program, you can use the recipe add-ons (like whipped coconut crème and maple syrup) to make it is indulgent as these photos show…
Quick Tip: The flours used in this recipe are more nutritious but can be a bit more expensive than regular white-flour. But, they don’t have to be! You can buy the raw ingredients and use a blending device (any good blender or food processor will do) to make oat and coconut flour for far cheaper than you can buy it in the store.
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, stir together
- 1/2 a cup of Oat Flour
- 1/4 cup of Coconut Flour
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 1/2 a cup of Soy Milk (unsweetened)
- 1/2 a Banana
Mix all dry ingredients together, then add the Soy Milk. Mash the banana on a plate with a fork until its all mashed, and there are no lumps. Add the Banana to the mixing bowl and stir all ingredients until thoroughly blended.
Heat a griddle, or non-stick skillet, and add a small amount of non-dairy cooking spray to the griddle or skillet. Then add the pancake batter by the spoonful until you have regular size pancakes. Let the pancakes cook over medium heat, and when pancake begins to brown around the edges, flip it to the other side with a spatula.
Cook a few more minutes until golden brown and serve. Enjoy!
Makes 6 medium pancakes.
Indulgent recipe add-ons if not watching points: whipped coconut crème and maple syrup.
Enjoy!
