Don't know if you have tried SW pancakes, I have them sometimes on the weekend when my dd's want pancakes.

35g porridge oats (HEB)
Muller light yogurt (any flavour, I usually use vanilla)
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. sweetener (you can leave this out if you are having a sweet topping)

I usually mix porridge oats and yogurt and leave overnight, in the morning mix in the beaten eggs and sweetener

Spray frying pan with frylight and put mixture into pancakes (they are more like scotch pancakes, wait until you see bubbles on the top and then turn over.

You can top with yogurt and fruit, maple syrup would be 2 syns per tbsp and golden syrup would be 2.5 syns per tbsp. They are quite filling and they also freeze well or wrap in foil and just warm through for a pudding later in the day.

Just had 3 pieces of choc. Worked out with calculator could have 3 for 5 syn and haven't had any since Nye so absolute delicious. Gave other quarter to husband and stored rest back in fridge.
Was going to make meatloaf but used all eggs at breakfast when we had sw full English, which still can't believe is allowed.

Thanks Tracey, I have tried once and they really didn't taste good, but i will have another go with your recipe and see what happens

I make pancakes by mashing one ripe banana and whisking it into 2 eggs. Taste really good and not too bananary (:D) as you might expect.

Also I want to keep the amount of artificial sweetener I eat to a minimum (don't get me started! ) so these are ideal

Oooooh that sounds great. Can I just ask do they form into pancake type shapes when cooked?

I must admit that they don't taste great on their own but my favourite topping is to syn golden syrup or honey and add a chopped banana

I just happen to think penny lane that putting all ur trust in syns is bunkum
1/2 syn for a full cake really?! So I can have a full cake or 1/2 a pack of chilli chicken chunks?
Just like the pasta n sauces are free but u couldn't eat them every day and not gain weight.

Putting all your food sense in the basket of sw is just not right sorry but its not.
Sw in the science of it is based on calories consumed and calories burnt to consume? So to say they don't count calories is rubbish? 1 syn is roughly 20 calories? So they do use calories.
Personally I wouldn't snack on a yoghurt just because told me I could eat unlimited amounts not have I suddenly decided I want to snack on tins of tuna or anything else they say I can have unlimited amounts of?

My friend gained as she had a week of eating ridiculous amounts of chips because they where free?!

Sw actually says within a balanced diet yet some people chose to eat numerous yoghurts / chips / free items

My point is I wouldn't eat a yoghurt when I fancied a choc just because its free? Free implies no calories to me.

I'm off to finish my tube of pringles

Thanks for your reply. I can't be the only one who puts her trust in what the SW consultant told me. Can I? I tend to do things by the book and she definitely went through all about syns, free foods etc and we never mentioned counting calories.

Just to clarify about the yoghourts ..... I probably eat 2 a week that's all. I was just amazed at how much sugar is in them.
