You will find a dollop of whipped cream is low in calories and can turn a plain pancake into a treat. I would also like to add a favorite tip of mine for making pancakes. If you have canned pumpkin, make a mixture of pumpkin and water. Add pumpkin spice or other seasonings you may have such as nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. As you add your pancake mix, add minimal water at a time until you get a thick but spoon-able consistency. Cook on a low temp as it will want to allow the inside batter to cook without making the outside too dark. This is what I had for breakfast. You can top with any sort of nuts, bananas, pumpkin or apple butter spread, jams, etc. whatever you have on hand. You can even use peanut butter. You can use minimal amounts of just about anything and have a super delish and healthier pancake breakfast.
