Ingredients for Lowest Calorie Pancakes
You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make these healthy pancakes. And if you don’t have oat flour, you can make it at home! Just add old fashioned oats to a food processor and pulse until you get a flour like substance!
Low Calorie Pancake Ingredients:
- Eggs – not just a great binding agent, eggs boost the protein in these pancakes!
- Zero Calorie “Sugar” – any all-natural sugar substitute or real sugar will work!
- Vanilla Extract – vanilla adds lots of flavor for partly no calories.
- 0% Greek Yogurt – I skip the milk and use metabolism boosting greek yogurt instead!
- Water – thin out your greek yogurt with zero calorie water!
- Oat Flour – oats naturally boost metabolism, so much better for weight loss than traditional flour!
- Salt – believe it or not, you need a little salt to bring out sweetness. Just a pinch though.
- Olive Oil Spray – save 100’s of calories with a light spray instead of a heavy drizzle or pad of butter.

How to Make Low Calorie Pancakes
These skinny pancakes are so easy to make, I often let my daughter make them herself. This way I can enjoy my coffee and wait patiently with my coffee. She’s 13, and pretty comfortable in the kitchen. But you can let younger kids crack the eggs (have them do it in a separate bowl so you can fish out any shells) or mix the ingredients, or measure the ingredients.
Tools and Equipment:
- 2 Bowls
- Measuring cups and Spoons
- Skillet and Spatula
How to Make Healthy Pancakes:
- Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla to a standing mixer or bowl.
- Whisk until creamy.
- In a separate bowl combine the greek yogurt and water. Mix together to thin it out.
- Add the greek yogurt, oat flour, and salt to the egg mixture, and mix until just combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Pour (or scoop if it’s thick) the batter onto the hot skillet, working in batches as needed (makes 8 total pancakes).
- Once the pancakes start to bubble, flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings (see above for lots of healthy options!)
Leftover Storage & Meal Prep:
- Make the pancakes according to the directions, cool completely.
- Cut out pancake sized squares of parchment paper, and add one between each pancake (so they don’t stick to each other).
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
- To reheat– Microwave 1 minute from defrosted, or 2-3 minutes from frozen. Or pop in the toaster, or place on a cookie sheet in an oven at 250 degrees for 5 minutes.

Nutrition and Calories in Pancakes
Each pancake is 34 calories, but please don’t think you can’t have more than one pancake. In fact the entire batch (all 8 pancakes) are just 272 calories, so feel free to eat them all.
I used my favorite All-Natural Zero Calorie sugar in this recipe, feel free to use regular sugar, honey, agave, maple syrup or your favorite all natural sugar substitute in its place.
