They're pretty good actually!! Only thing is I halved the recipe so it was 1/2 cup of prepared mix and it came to 6 points!! with my syrup (which was original not reduced fat) it was 4 points the whole thing came to 10!! Chat Icon

BUT I'm sure you can just eat half of what you prepare and use less syrup and you'll be fine. I was just in the mood for pancakes! Chat Icon

Amy...I noticed you don't eat breakfast...

Here's some info for you....

Science Library: Achieving a Sustainable Weight Loss
Breakfast and Weight Management
By The Weight Watchers Research Department | 9/15/2006

Even though eating breakfast has long been linked to good health and a nutritious diet, skipping it may seem like an easy way to cut calories when trying to lose weight. A growing body of research, however, indicates that eating breakfast is a successful strategy for lasting weight loss.

Breakfast Skipping and Obesity
Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less than breakfast skippers. Some studies have found that those who skip breakfast end up eating more calories through the course of the day compared to those who don't – and weight gain is the result.1 This may be due to increased feelings of hunger which can lead to overeating, particularly higher-fat foods later in the day.

Therefore, eating breakfast may help to control appetite and lower the chances of overeating throughout the day.

Eating Breakfast and Maintaining Weight Loss
Eating breakfast may also help with keeping weight off for the long term. Participants from the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), a database of people who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept if off for one year or more, reported eating breakfast on a regular basis as one of their key strategies for maintaining weight loss. Of the 2,959 participants surveyed from the NWCR, 78% had breakfast 7 days a week and only 4% said that they never ate breakfast.2 The researchers suggested that eating breakfast may help to reduce hunger later in the day as well as provide key nutrients that may enhance physical activity, another key strategy for maintaining weight loss.

Type of Breakfast
The type of breakfast and its influence on weight management is an active area of research. Some studies have shown that eating ready-to-eat cereal is linked to a lower body mass index (BMI) and better diet quality than eating other breakfast foods.3 However, a 2005 study found that participants who consumed a high protein breakfast had enhanced feelings of eating satisfaction, fullness and lower food intake compared with those eating a low-protein breakfast.4 More research is needed to determine the impact of breakfast type on weight loss.

Bottom Line
Making breakfast part of a daily routine is a key strategy to use as part of a lifestyle management approach for long-term, sustainable weight loss

Breakfast: A Dieter's Secret Weapon
By Leslie Fink, MS, RD | 1/11/2005

Here's a thought that'll get you up and running: People who skip breakfast may not be as successful with weight management as those people who eat breakfast regularly. Why? Eating breakfast could help you reduce snacking and avoid overeating at later meals.

Food Is Fuel
Eating breakfast is like filling up a gas tank gone dry. When you wake up in the morning, your body is low on fuel, like a car running on empty, explains Kathleen Zelman, RD, spokeperson for the American Dietetic Association. So fill up with a morning meal that can kick-start your engine by:

Giving your body energy.

Possibly preventing you from overeating later in the day.
Not enough incentive? Try this food for thought: If you skip breakfast, you're often more inclined to make up for it the rest of the day, warns Zelman.

In fact, a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that breakfast eaters fall prey to impulse snacking less often than non-breakfast eaters.

Unleaded or Diesel?
Not all fuels are created equally. Most people will get more mileage from a small bran muffin and a cup of fat-free milk than they do from a large glass of juice. That's because the sugar in the juice is a much more rapidly used energy source than that derived from the muffin and milk.

"The ideal breakfast is based on carbohydrate and protein," says G. Harvey Anderson, PhD, professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto. He theorizes that the most satisfying breakfasts deliver a quick shot of energy (by raising blood sugar levels rapidly) and then a longer term energy boost from high-fiber, complex-carbohydrate, protein-containing foods that slow digestion.

What does that mean for your sugar cereal? Toss a handful into a bowl of low-fat yogurt and then mix it up with some fiber-rich fruit. Other tasty tag-team breakfasts include:

Low-fat cheese and tomato slices on a whole-wheat English muffin.

High-fiber cereal with fat-free or low-fat milk and dried or fresh fruit.

Peanut butter and jelly on multi-grain bread.

Hard-boiled or scrambled eggs (or egg whites) with a couple of wheat crackers.

Low-fat yogurt and a grain-rich cereal bar.

A banana and a small handful of peanuts or almonds.
Banish No-Time-For-Breakfast Excuses
Excuse: I don't have time to make myself breakfast, then the only things available to me at work are doughnuts and cookies from the vending machine.

When time is of the essence, think portable. Try a hard-boiled egg (keep a few handy in the fridge) and a couple of crackers or string cheese and a piece of fruit. And for those real crunch times, keep packets of instant oatmeal, high-fiber breakfast bars and mini boxes of raisins stashed in your desk drawer.

Excuse: I just can't eat before 1:00 p.m.
You don't have to eat when the roosters crow, but it is a wise idea to eat within several hours of waking up. If you can't stomach much, try a few grapes or a wheat cracker and half a glass of juice. After a few days, your body might naturally look forward to this a.m. fuel-up and you can try more substantial meals.

Excuse: I would like to eat breakfast but am afraid it will set my hunger into overdrive.
Many people experience less erratic eating patterns (like mid-afternoon and after-dinner munchies) when they eat several small snacks and meals throughout the day. Anderson comments that in addition to being leaner, frequent nutritious mini-meal eaters — as opposed to those who eat one to two big meals per day — are often associated with cleaner bills of health.
