1 Point Home Made Fluffy Pancakes – No Bananas!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fat-free or low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet with cooking spray as needed between batches.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
