Weight Watchers Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 egg
Instructions:
1.Mash the banana.
2. Mix an egg with the banana. I use a whisk to mix them together. If it really bothers you that the pancakes are flat, you can add 1/4 tsp of baking powder to them.
3. Use a hot greased pan to cook the pancakes. There are a few important tips below.
4. Top with peanut butter, fruit, a teaspoon of butter, or nothing at all–these pancakes are super moist.
Weight Watchers Banana Pancakes Tips:
- Make sure the pan is nice and hot AND greased before you pour your pancake on!
- Try not to flip it more than once, these are fragile, and don’t like being handled much while cooking
- I don’t sprinkle these with cinnamon while cooking, as it seems to dry them out a little.
I’ve found that whisking the cinnamon into the recipe before cooking or sprinkling cinnamon after it’s finished cooking is best–the cinnamon almost sticks to the pan and causes it to not flip easily. - Use the thinnest spatula that you have for these! This is a great one.
- I’ve heard of people adding two eggs, but I haven’t personally tried it.

February 28 at 8:11 amThis recipe is delicious! I tried it (using zero point Pam spray) because of the zero point freestyle points. However, when I put the nutrition info you provided into my WW calculator, it totaled SIX points! Since an egg and a banana are both 0, how is this possible, unless there is an error in the nutrition facts. Please advise.
