Pancakes with Chocolate Chips (1 Pancake (1 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller serving of pancakes and avoid adding syrup, sweetened whipped cream, or extra chocolate chips.

Pair the pancakes with eggs or plain Greek yogurt to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Add a side of berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, instead of sweet toppings.

Choose a higher-fiber pancake recipe using oat bran, buckwheat, or chickpea flour, and include chia or ground flaxseed.

Use a modest amount of natural peanut or almond butter as a topping instead of syrup.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
