great!!! i made two versions- one for me and one for Boyfriend. in my ultra healthy version i used all WW flour, no oil, extra applesauce...and they were prefect! topped with yogurt and applesauce- no syrup needed. my BF's version (he loved them and wanted more) i used all white flour, eggs w/ yolk- they were fluffy and just fantastic. and EASY! yay for this recipe.

We had these tonight for dinner with some eggs and bacon...fluffy and tasty with some light syrup. I think you can definitely tell that they are low fat/light pancakes, but there's not enough of a difference to make me not make them again. I'm going to freeze the rest and use them for super-fast breakfasts...thanks for posting!

We have made these pancakes several times now, with and without blueberries, and have enjoyed them very much every time. These are a great healthy alternative for people who enjoy a nice breakfast but are watching fat and calories, and they would be great even for those not watching what they eat. I used whole wheat pastry flour for the whole wheat flour, but I am sure regular whole wheat would be fine, too. For my husband and I cutting this in half makes the perfect amount! Thanks for sharing a great recipe that has allowed us to enjoy Sunday morning breakfast again!
