🔪 Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract & ¼ tsp cinnamon for flavor
- Whisk until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.

- Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm with zero-point toppings like fresh berries, a dusting of cinnamon, or sugar-free syrup.

❓ FAQ – WW 0-Point Pancakes
Q: Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
A: You can, but most flavored yogurts contain added sugar and may increase points. Stick to plain fat-free for 0 points.
Q: Why no banana?
A: Many pancake recipes use bananas, but this one skips it to reduce carbs and keep the texture light and protein-forward.
Q: Can I make waffles with this batter?
A: Yes! Spray your waffle iron well and cook on medium heat until set. The texture will be slightly more dense than regular waffles.
Q: What’s the texture like?
A: These are soft and slightly custard-like in the center — not as fluffy as flour-based pancakes but very satisfying.
📖 Why I Love This Recipe
I created this recipe on a day when I really wanted pancakes but didn’t want to burn points on flour, sugar, or syrupy toppings. This version came together with just a few fridge staples — and I was shocked how good it tasted for zero points!
They’ve become my go-to breakfast. Sometimes I even eat them as a snack after a workout, topped with cinnamon and a little extra yogurt.
