Healthy Cinnamon Vanilla Pancakes
One of our favorite meals is having breakfast for dinner, and I’ve recently come up with a delicious (and easy!) way to spice up run-of-the-mill pancakes for a weeknight supper. Serve with turkey bacon and cinnamon apples for a complete meal!

Where is the vanilla?
I’m sorry, guys, I totally forgot to add the vanilla on the ingredient list! It is 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. I will update the post now.
We love eating pancakes for dinner too. But, am I missing something? What makes these “healthy” and “vanilla”?
Hi Cecilia, as I mentioned earlier, I made a mistake and left out the vanilla from the list. It is 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and I am updating the post as we “speak”. The healthy is the fact they are low-fat, and relatively low in WW points, as well as using the heart-healthy pancake mix.
where’s the vanilla?
I am diabetic and only allowed 35 carbs per meal. For me, this is not healthy. It sounds delicious. I just wish I could find more recipes that were actually healthy for diabetics.
Sounds yummy! I always add cinnamon and vanilla to my pancake mix. MM!
How long can these be frozen? Thanks!
Chelsea, these muffins can last for up to 4-6 months. See these posts in our Get Started Series for more help! http://onceamonthmom.com/get-started-how-long-do-meals-last/ and http://onceamonthmom.com/get-started-freezing-containers/
These look really good! Are they on any of the once a month cooking menus?
Not yet, but perhaps soon. :)
these were fabulous!
4 servings? How many pancakes per serving for 7 pts+?
How many pancakes equal a serving 2? 3?
I would say three pancakes the size of your palm.
These are amazing! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Could you substitute the Bisquick for the homemade pancake mix on your website? I am trying to think of pancake recipe that I could go with your homemade mix and also with the homemade vanilla extract I am making and these sound great. If you could, would it be a straight substitute…2 cups of the homemade mix? Thanks!
Yes, you can substitute our homemade mix! Great idea.
It took 2 1/4 c water. I was using the OAMM pancake mix. Not sure what happened…
