Almond Pancakes (1 Pancake)

Keep the almond pancake portion modest, and avoid adding sugar, syrup, honey, or sweetened spreads.

Top pancakes with unsweetened Greek yogurt, ricotta, or eggs to add protein and slow the rise.

Use berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries instead of banana, jam, or dried fruit.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the batter or topping for extra fiber.

Choose a batter with almond flour, eggs, and unsweetened milk; avoid refined flour, starches, and sweetened pancake mixes.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you.
