So, I guess pancakes don’t really count as baking but they are
still a great weekend treat. These Banana Pancakes are even better as they’re
full of goodness and, if you’re following Weight Watchers, they’re low in
points too! This is a really simple recipe but preparing your fruit can be
time-consuming so you might want to rope someone in to help. Or else be really
lazy and just buy prepared fruit!

I decided to experiment a little bit this week and only used egg
whites, rather than the whole egg. This meant that the entire recipe came to 0
SmartPoints but the pancakes seemed a lot runnier than usual and burned much
more easily. I think I’ll probably stick to using the yolks too in future,
making this recipe a Weight Watchers (and tummy!) friendly 4sp. The pancakes
were still delicious, despite the missing yolks, and it’s good to know there is
a tasty and very filling alternative for days when you can’t even afford to
spare 4sp for breakfast!
Per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs
- · 1 banana
- · Butter flavoured cooking spray (or real butter)
- · Fresh fruit to serve
Method
1.
Peel the banana and mash in a bowl using a fork.
Crack in the eggs and mix until well-combined.
2.
Spritz a frying pan with the cooking spray (or
else melt real butter) and heat over a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, ladle
in the mixture to the required size. I usually make mine a bit smaller than a
Scotch pancake and have two or three frying in the pan at the same time.
3.
Flip the pancakes in the pan to avoid burning and
to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
4.
Repeat until all the mixture has been finished.
5.
Serve with your choice of fresh fruit. I like
using berries or citrus fruits such as pineapple or satsumas, the juicier the
better!
