Blueberry Ricotta Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

The perfect idea for a Weight Watchers Mother’s Day Brunch Recipe, these delicious Ricotta and Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes are to die for! Easy to make and just 4 Points + for 2 pancakes, this decadent low calorie breakfast recipe doesn’t sacrifice flavor in the least.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole-wheat buttermilk pancake mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk whole-wheat flour and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  2. Whisk ricotta, egg substitute, vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl until smooth. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. If batter seems too thick, add more water, teaspoon by teaspoon until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Spray a large, nonstick skillet with nonfat, butter flavored cooking spray and place over medium heat until hot.
  4. Pour the batter for 2 4-inch pancakes into the pan, sprinkle blueberries on each pancake and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter and berries, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Mmmmmmm….PANCAKES!!!! I have always adored these sweet, warm, cakey little love patties. But they aren’t at all diet friendly, so I rarely indulge myself in their yumminess. So when I read that Fiber One had released a new Pancake mix, I was overjoyed!! I already adore their super high fiber cereal, and use it for so many recipes (which I SWEAR, I have been meaning to blog about), so I knew I had to give this high fiber, low calorie pancake recipe a try. I got up early this morning, so excited to make my special Weight Watchers pancakes with the help of Fiber One Pancake Mix. And Oh Em Gee…..they were SOOOOOO good!! A little on the thin side, but nonetheless, they tasted amazing, and I am so incredibly with this fabulous find. I had three nice sized pancakes with butter and maple syrup for just 5 Weight Watchers Points. And I am stuffed. Fiber One, I so love you. Thanks for this amazing pancake recipe.

Fiber One Pancake Mix

Fiber One Weight Watchers Pancake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup Fiber One Pancake Mix
2/3 cup cold water

Toppings:
2 Tbsp of a light butter (I used Balade Light Butter)
1/2 cup sugar free syrup (I used Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free Maple Syrup)

*I found all of these items at my local grocery store!
And for a bit of fun or variety add a few blueberries, strawberries or banana slices to pancake mix! Just remember to calculate in the extra Points.

Directions:
Coat skillet or frying pan with a non stick cooking spray. Preheat your skillet to about 375 degrees (or until water droplets bounce around). Mix pancake mix ingredients with a wire whisk. Note that the mix will be thin. I found that its best to let the mix sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up a bit. Pour batter into frying pan, making each pancake with just under 1/4 cup of batter, and heat on one side until bubbles break on top of pancake and edges start to dry. Flip and let cook about 30-45 seconds or until pancake is golden brown. Top each serving with 1 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup of syrup. Enjoy!

Recipe makes 2 servings
Serving size = 3 pancakes
Each serving (with butter and syrup) = 5 Weight Watchers Points
