Why This Recipe Works for WW:
✅ High-protein (Greek yogurt + egg keeps you full).
✅ No bananas (unlike many low-point pancake recipes).
✅ Only 3 points for the whole batch (or 1-2 pts with tweaks).
Lower-Point Variations:
-
2-pt version: Use ¼ cup egg whites instead of a whole egg.
-
1-pt version (per pancake): Make mini pancakes (1 tbsp batter each).
Flavor Boosters (0-1 pt additions):
-
Lemon zest + blueberries
-
Pumpkin pie spice
