Those of you who frequent here, have probably already tried my American Style Pancakes (a recipe I came up with at the beginning of 2011, when I wanted a low synned pancake that didn’t taste eggy).
I used to make a similar type pancake many years before, for my son when he was weaning by adding Ready Brek to the mixture, so figured - hey oats should work too.
Then came the idea for a low synned Red Velvet Pancake recipe, as I love red velvet anything, but it is usually accompanied by a high syn value.
The original recipe I had on here for these, was great, but it was missing a little something. So I recently revisited this to work on making it even better (something I am often doing with my recipes) to ensure I give you delicious home cooked and low syn meals.
The result was awesome, these are really delicious and will now be a regular, when I fancy a treat and have a healthy extra b choice available.
If you have a few additional syns spare, these are even more decadent with a little drizzle of maple syrup (don't forgot to add some syns though if you do - 2 syns per tablespoon).
Look at how deliciously fluffy and decadent they look with an additional drizzle of maple syrup for some extra syns - yum!

Notes
Syn value of cocoa powder can vary from brand to brand. The three brands I use are 100% cocoa powder (not Dutch Processed) and are 1 tbs for 20 calories (1 syn).
You should always double check the syn values of items which are synned, as brands can differ.

Can you use the sukrin icing sugar for this recipe please?

I personally don't like the the sweetener icing sugars, I find the taste to be too artificial. So I wouldn't recommend.
