Most days I prefer a savory breakfast – but this morning I really had a craving for pancakes. It takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish to make this! You don’t have to buy pancake mix from a box. I decided to make one GIANT pancake – but you could definitely make smaller ones. Here is how to make pancakes for one.

How to make pancakes for one!

Just a few ingredients and you are on your way to an amazing breakfast!
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. Splenda
  • 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp. chia seeds optional
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 serving Lily's chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients, stir until just combined, do not over stir.
  • Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This helps the baking powder activate and the chia seeds to expand.
  • Pour the batter in a medium non stick skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes a side.

Notes

Chia seeds are optional.  I just like the taste/texture of them.  You can use any kind of milk, I love unsweetened almond milk.  I use sugar free Lily’s Chocolate Chips – you get a bunch of chocolate chips per serving for not a lot of calories.
I follow Weight Watchers – Blue plan, this giant pancake is 6 smart points. Purple Plan is also 6 smart points and if you are on the Green Plan, it’s 8 Smart Points.
 
 
 

To serve, I like to add fresh berries and a good tasting low calorie syrup is log cabin. For 2 tablespoons it’s 10 calories!
