If you are craving breakfast food and want pancakes without the guilt, these low-fat lemon pancakes are exactly what you are looking for.  They only have 1g of fat total in them, and they don’t taste like anything low-fat.

Low Fat Lemon Pancakes

A few weeks ago, my oldest friend pleaded that she wanted me to figure out a way for her to have pancakes that are low-fat.  I said yes, without really thinking what a challenge this might become.  I did research and searched and searched for some kind of solution to her problem.  You see, she is 8 months pregnant and suffering from gallstones, so having anything with large fat content wouldn’t work.  So I kept searching.

Remember when I praised Jeremy for testing my recipes and that they are not always winners?  Well, this recipe took quite a few tests to get it edible (my first batch tasted like hockey pucks and flour).  After adding a few spices and some lemon juice (seriously…the best thing ever), I finally had a tasty pancake.

Low Fat Lemon Pancakes

I had no idea how difficult this was going to be.  I really didn’t understand how much fat are in some “low calorie” foods.  It took a few tries to find something that might work and then I had to modify it again.  And again.  And again.  I think I modified this recipe 4 times before landing on the version we ate at their house.  I am so glad I tested this recipe too, before we showed up at her house.  Goodness.  If I hadn’t, I can only imagine what would have happened!

No one likes hockey pucks as food.  Or anything that tastes like flour.  Gross.

Low Fat Lemon Pancakes

To make this low-fat lemon pancake recipe:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients (through the spices).  In a smaller mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients (through the lemon juice).  Mix together the wet ingredients with the dry ones. Stir to completely combine.

On a hot griddle, add a teaspoon of the pancake batter.  Cook up to 4 pancakes at a time, flipping once during cooking, and placing on a plate to reserve until all the pancakes have been cooked.

    I love lemon too. I have such a love for it, that I add it in almost everything. The lemon was delicious in these pancakes.
