Syn Free American Pancakes

These Syn Free American Pancakes are the sweet, fluffy answer to all of your Slimming World breakfast prayers! They’re simple to make and perfect paired with fruit, syrup or even chocolate if you can spare the syns…

Ingredients

80g Porridge Oats

4x Eggs

6tbsp Fat Free Plain Yogurt (I use Fage)

1.5tbsp Granulated Sweetener (I use Sukrin:1)

2tsp Vanilla Essence

1tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

Add your oats to a blender and blitz until you have a fine powder.

In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, two of the eggs, the yogurt, vanilla essence, baking powder and sweetener and whisk until smooth.

Whisk in the last two eggs until the mixture is super smooth. Leave to sit for 10-15 minutes to thicken.

Place a frying pan over low heat and spray it with low calorie cooking spray. When the cooking spray starts to bubble, add then spoon in your pancake batter.

Each pancake needs about two and half tablespoons of batter.

When the pancake starts to bubble on the top side, flip it using a spatula and cook until the bottom begins to brown. Place to one side and repeat with the remaining batter until it is all used up.

Serve with fresh fruit and your choice of toppings!

Notes

Syn free on Slimming World using your full Healthy Extra B portion.

Both the baking powder and sweetener do not need to be synned as they are not present in large enough quantities.

Any additional toppings need to be synned accordingly.

Syn values correct a time of writing.

Fill up on free food

All of our meals are based on Slimming World free foods: nutritious, everyday foods that satiate you for fewer calories, which means they’re great for weight loss. Free foods include lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, pasta, rice, potatoes, pulses, fruit, vegetables and more. And you can eat these foods freely, making them ideal for satisfying the biggest appetites. Some free foods have the added bonus of being Speed Foods: super low-calorie fruits and vegetables that are great for weight loss. For best results, always use Speed Food first between meals and include at least a third of a serving of Speed Food at each meal when it makes sense.

Add healthy supplements

To ensure a good balance of nutrients, consume two measured servings of milk or cheese every day – your ‘a’ Extra Healthy options. Options: 350ml skim milk or 250ml semi-skim milk; 40g reduced-fat hard cheese or 30g whole cheese; 50g mozzarella (from cow’s milk); 45g feta cheese or 35g Danish blue cheese, which can be consumed as part of a lunch or snack. Also eat a serving of wholemeal bread or cereal for breakfast every day – your ‘b’ healthy eating option. To make it easy, we’ve included your option b, Healthy Supplement, in your menu plan for each day.

Choose your symptoms

Foods and drinks that pose a risk to your weight loss, those that are high in fat or sugar, and alcohol can be consumed as a carefully calculated sin. We recommend that you plan between 5 and 15 syn in your day (see the bottom of the next page for some ideas).

Make simple changes

Choose lean meat and remove visible fat to protect against weight loss: cut white bits off bacon and skin off poultry. Use a low-fat cooking spray instead of fat or oil, replace sugar with sweetener and cream and crème fraîche with non-fat yoghurt or fresh cheese.
