Lighter Add-Ons
Nothing tops hot whole-wheat pancakes quite like butter and maple syrup. But those tasty add-ons nearly triple the calories of your healthy breakfast, taking it from 143 calories for two 4-inch cakes to 415 with 2 pats of butter (72 calories) and 4 tablespoons syrup (200 calories).
It's time for something healthier. Here are seven options that top out around 150 calories to help put breakfast on the table without sacrificing nutrition.
Strawberry-Banana Butter
Strawberries and bananas are an unbeatable combination, especially when blended with creamy peanut butter and maple syrup.
Tropical Browned Butter
You may not usually associate tropical fruits like kiwi and pinapple with pancakes, but this easy recipe will have you thinking again!
Tart-Sweet Lemon Blackberry
Powdered sugar, lemon curd and blackberries will make your breakfast pancakes taste more like a decadent treat.
Orange Creamsicle Crunch
Sweet and citrusy, this pancake topping compilation gets a welcome texture twist with the addition of crunchy almonds.
Sweet and Spicy Egg
Pancakes can't have protein...or can they? Mesh two breakfast favorites by layering an egg on top of fluffy flapjacks—it's that simple!
Cheddar, Bacon, and Apple
Savory meets sweet when sharp cheddar, apple butter, and center-cut bacon sit atop a short stack.
