These were great! My picky, rarely-eating-any-substantial-meal 2-year-old ate 3 of them. I’m always looking for different things to make for my kids for breakfast, and although they love pancakes and waffles, I don’t like buying the sugary, white flour frozen stuff available in the store. Even the “whole wheat” boxed mixes tend to have a ton of sugar. I will be most definitely be making these again, and will probably make a double or triple batch so that I can freeze them. Thank you for posting!

I like that these work for making waffles as well as pancakes. I will make these for the grandchildren. Healthy and very good

Just made these and they’re delicious! I used a 1/4 cup measure and got 9 pancakes. When I entered the recipe on WW online I got 2 Pontsplus per pancake! GREAT recipe!

I made these for lunch. I used a 1.5 tbsp measure and got 11 pancakes. They rose nicely and were light – not heavy at all. I used some mashed banana in place of the applesauce which seemed to work well – if you like a mild taste of banana in your pancakes! I ate 2 with some homemade blueberry sauce and a dollop of vanilla yogurt. Divine!

Just printed this off and going to go make some for lunch. I don’t have any applesauce so thinking I’ll substitute some mashed banana. I like another posters idea of making a sauce from blueberries and splenda. I am doing “no sugar” (meaning refined sugar isn’t being added to anything I eat) and this idea was one I had. Good to know it worked!

Can I omit the applesauce?

Roni,

I am relatively new to your sites and LOVE them! I tried the Whole Grain Pancakes this weekend and they were wonderful. My 7 year old wasn’t too fond of them and wanted the kind I “usually” make (not that I make pancakes more than say twice a year), but then there’s more for me. I only wish I had added blueberries to the entire recipe instead of just to the ones I ate that day. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your site. I can’t wait to try more of your wonderful recipes.

P.S. – It may have some effect that I use steel cut Coaches Oats instead of QUick oats – maybe that helps keep them together?

Thought I’d let you know, I use 1/3 of a cup of egg whites (I double the batch for freezing some, and that’s the equivalent of 2 eggs), and I think they turn out fluffier – but they turn out fine.

Great cakes – we make them a lot! The 3 year old loves them! I purposely buy applesauce in the single serving sizes just for this recipe (the big jars of unsweetened organic go bad before we use them up.)

Oops, forgot to mention, a pinch of salt in the batter makes this recipe a lot more flavorful!

Mmmm, just made this a few minutes ago! The first pancake I made was a little too thick and uncooked in the middle and too soft inside (could’ve been that my pan was too hot), and I prefer a slightly thinner, crispier pancake so I added about 2 tablespoons of milk in addition… Perfect!

I also added a tiny bit of freshly grated ginger for extra spiciness, and slightly blended the oatmeal in a blender to make it a little smoother. I covered the pancakes in sliced bananas and a tiny bit of maple syrup on the side for dipping.

Thanks for this recipe, I love it!

Excellent! This is the second pancake recipe I’ve tried off of Green Lite Bites. I love them both. I had never made a pancake before! I mixed some fresh raspberries into this batter. Delicious! As always, thank you Roni.

I made these this morning. I wanted something filling and it definately did the trick. I makeshift modified it though. I was out of applesauce, eggs, nutmeg, and I used a really point friendly soy milk that I found at trader joes. The mix came out very very thick so I added some water like I used to do with Bisquick when I didn’t have eggs. I liked them but they were a little bland (probably due to the lack of the other ingredients). I put some Better n’ Peanut Butter on them and a little sugar free syrup and that made them much better! mmm! Thanks for the recipe. I’ll see if I can get hubby to eat some.

I made some awesome vegan pancakes today. If you don’t want to use eggs just increase the baking powder. Mine came out really well, here is the recipe:

Instead of the white flour I used ww pastry flour and added cinnamon and allspice. There’s no salt in these but I recommend adding a little to bring out the flavors.

Hi Roni, I know you’ve got tons of comments on this one already, but I finally got around to making the whole wheat pancakes and they, of course, were awesome! I felt so virtuous making something decadent into something healthy. My toddler even ate some, cut into triangles, and he dipped into lite pancake syrup. Thanks for another great one.

Oh, and it was surprisely quick & easy, too.

Hi Jimena!

It’s too “mimic” buttermilk. You can skip it, they come out fine without or you can actually use buttermilk. I just happen to make them this way.

Hope that helps!

Hi Roni =)

I have been browsing your site the past few days. I love all the wonderful ideas you have throughout your site. I just made these fabulous looking pancakes. I cant wait to taste one of them. I was wondering what the purpose of the lemon juice is. I did not have any so I used lime juice instead. Did not have applesauce so I used margarine and used sf maple syrup instead of honey. I also added in some dried apples =)
