These skinny pancakes are perfectly fluffy and delicious and you would never know that they are just one Weight Watcher Smart Point each! These pancakes have no added sugar or fat andare made with greek yogurt so they have 3 grams of proteinin each pancake. I haven’t had a chance to officially share on the blog, but I’ve been usingthe Weight Watchers Smart Point program for a little over a year and have lost 60 pounds so far. I think a big part of my success with the program is that I make the same recipes for our whole family. I’m always trying to create point-friendly options that my kids love too. These pancakes are kid and parent approved!
Start by mashing two very ripe bananas. These give the pancakes a touch of sweetness without the added sugar. Then stir in fat-free plain greek yogurt, egg whites, skim milk and pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients then add wet ingredients to dry and stir just until combined. Measure pancakes by the level 1/4 cup full onto non stick griddle.
You can also add fresh blueberries! Just drop them onto the pancake batter once the batter is on the griddle.
Perfectly golden brown and delicious!

Nutrition Information is from the Weight Watcher Recipe Builder and My Fitness Pal Nutrition Calculator. I made the serving size one pancake so it’s easier to track points. 3 pancakes are 3 Weight Watcher Smart Points, 4 pancakes are 4 Weight Watcher Smart Points, etc.
For me, the perfect serving size is three pancakes. Then I can add fresh fruit, a sprinkle of chopped pecans and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. I really love this pancake recipe because Ican add my favorite toppings and keep it point friendly. I usually serve them witha sunny-side up egg or a serving of turkey sausage on the side.
I adapted this recipe from aGreek Yogurt Pancake recipe I shared back when I first started blogging. The post is old and the pictures need to be updated, but it’s a great recipe too! I replaced the sugar and butter in the recipe with bananasto make it more Weight Watcher Smart Point friendly and I don’t think you will miss it at all!

Renae And now I’m going to need to insist that you share about your progress (or just to me). I’m thinking of starting and WW is so new (different from in 2001 when I lost 22 pounds) I don’t really know where to start. I think that arming myself with recipes and strategies would be the key to my success…share, share, share!! I’m desperate…can’t wait to try these!

really great pancake recipe. I like that you add the flour as it makes it feel more like a pancake than other recipes. I usually add chopped apples sprinkled with cinnamon for the top of pancake. This morning I pureed strawberries and put that on top of pancakes. really yummy! One WW question I would like to add less flour – because that is the only ingredient that is hiking up the WW points for me. Can you tell me how to tweak the recipe so that I can add less than 1 cup flour. e.g., do I have to add 1/2 C milk?Reply

I topped these with blackberries and raspberries and they were TO DIE FOR!!! OMG Best pancakes I have ever eaten! Thank you for sharing!

I just started the WW Freestyle program 3 weeks ago and I am really liking the new plan. I have been craving pancakes and these were fantastic, they really did the trick. My husband also gave them two thumbs up, they will make it into a normal rotation for us. Thanks!

These are great for WW and I use gluten free flour instead. Amazingly delicious!!!!!!!!!!Reply
- Cindy Walker
I am new to WW and am confused. According to the WW app on my phone, 1/4 cup of flour is 3 points. Your one-point pancakes takes 1 cup of flour. If I make 4 pancakes, wouldn’t the points be 3 points per pancake?
Reply
- Melissa
Hi Cindy! The recipe makes a total of 14 pancakes. Hope that helps!

Thank you Melissa. Yes that makes sense now. When no one is looking, I may sprinkle a couple mini chocolate chips onto each one. . . .

Hi Melissa!I could not find your skinny one point pancakes on the WW website so I added the recipe in myself. In the notes section I wrote that the recipe did not belong to me and I retrieved it from https://www.number-2-pencil.com/skinny-one-point-pancakes/.
Thank you for the amazing recipes!!
These pancakes were delicious!

These are delicious. I used one banana (instead of two) and added 1/8 tsp nutmeg. I left the mashed banana a little chunky and added an extra 2 Tbs of the nonfat milk. Ate 3 served up with ripe strawberries. I am full, my brain and my mouth are more than happy, and its 3 points. So far I am not experiencing the “pancake lag and sleepiness” I usually get after 3 pancakes. I love that the point count is so low because it does leave room for syrup when I want it. Winner!! Thank you.

Melissa, I never left a comment before, but wanted to thank you for this recipe. My husband and I LOVE pancakes but I dread to make them because they normally are so fattening. Also I only have 20 points a day and try to use as little as possible early I in the day. My pancakes were just a bit gooey so I may add just a bit more flour or a little bit less banana next time. Just to clarify why people were confused about points was you mentioned making each pancake 1/4 of batter in your recipe, but I am pretty sure you meant 1/4 CUP of the batter. Will definitely be making these again. My fussy husband thought they were good also. Thanks again!

if you don’t have 1 cup of fat-free plain greek yogurt what can you use
Reply

Sorry Leona, I’m not sure there is a good substitute. Possibly fat free sour cream, but that could create a totally different texture.

Melissa,
I’m not sure if my bananas were not big enough (because I think they were small) but the sing 1/4 cup of batter mine only made 10 pancakes so my calories were 93 account riding to myfitnesspal. Would the size of the banana make the difference? They are absolutely delicious! IThank youReply
- Melissa
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but I’m only get 10 pancakes. And I measured out with 1/4 cup measure.

What could be used if anything for the greek yogurt? I’m allergic to dairy.

Do you think you can use Fat free sour cream? I really can’t stomach the yogurt.

I’m making this recipe as I’m typing this and I cannot figure out what to use as the fat for cooking them? Does everyone just making them directly on the griddle with no oil? Thanks!

- Molly
These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them.
Could you use one whole egg instead of the 2 egg whites? Or even 2 whole eggs instead of the whites? Now that eggs are zero points, I’m just curious.
Thanks!Reply
- Melissa
Hi Molly! You could, but the egg whites also serve to help lift and lighten the pancakes. I think a whole egg would work, but would make them denser. Let me know if you try it!

Can you use reg fat free yougurt instead of Greek don’t care for the taste of Greek yogurt
Reply
- Melissa
Maybe if you strain the yogurt? I think the thin texture of regular yogurt would cause the pancakes to be too thin.
Reply
- Wendy
Yummy. I used self rising flour and fat free vanilla Greek yogurt. Hope that didn’t alternate the points

These were delicious. Mine came out very wet though. I had to use unsweetened almond milk because that’s all I had. I also used one whole egg and had to use 1/3 cup because I couldn’t find the 1/4 cup. They were light and fluffy on the outside, but wet in the middle. They still tasted good, but wondering if the milk changed the consistency?Reply
Omg!!! I haven’t had pancakes in so long because they’re too high in calories. These are amazing!! I had half for supper last night&the rest this morning for breakfast. I can’t tell you how delicious they were! A tiny bit of sugar free syrup&I was in heaven. I will be eating these often- thank you!!Reply
