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 calorie 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 calorie Red Velvet Pancake recipe, as I love red velvet anything, but it is usually accompanied by a high calorie 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 calorie meals.
The result was awesome, these are really delicious and will now be a regular, when I fancy a treat and have a healthy choice available.
If you have a few additional calories spare, these are even more decadent with a little drizzle of maple syrup (don't forgot to add some calories though if you do).
Look at how deliciously fluffy and decadent they look with an additional drizzle of maple syrup for some extra calories - yum!

Can you use the sukrin icing sugar for this recipe please?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
I personally don't like the the sweetener icing sugars, I find the taste to be too artificial. So I wouldn't recommend.
