Low Fat Pancakes!

There are roughly 100 calories in one pancake and the average person eats about 3 or 4 so in order to burn them off you would probably have to run 3 or 4 miles!

However you can cut the calories and your pancakes will still taste just as good.

• Try using wholemeal flour instead of plain white
• Use skimmed milk because it is much lower in fat
• Reduce the amount of sugar you use

Toppings

Instead of having the traditional but very naughty full fat cream or syrup and butter fillings try some of these healthy alternatives:

• Lemon and sugar (easy with the sugar)
• fat free yoghurt with fresh fruit such as chopped banana, kiwi and blueberries
• sliced apple and cinnamon
• frozen berries and fromage frais

Yummy!
