Plain Pancakes (1 Pancake (4 Inches Dia))

Reduce the pancake portion and avoid syrup, honey, jam, and sweetened whipped toppings.

Eat the pancakes with eggs or another unsweetened protein source to slow digestion.

Add plain Greek yogurt and a small serving of berries, such as strawberries or blueberries, instead of sweet toppings.

Choose pancakes made with buckwheat flour, oat bran, or almond flour rather than refined white flour.

Add a source of healthy fat, such as natural peanut butter or a small handful of nuts, without added sugar.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the rise.
