We like to use Choc Pot and Choc Shot by a company called Sweet Freedom. They’re a chocolate spread and sauce which are lower in calories and taste really goooood!

These Banana and Chocolate Pancakes are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Mix the Ready Brek, eggs, milk, vanilla and sweetener together well.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with some low calorie cooking spray and allow to heat.
Step 3
Pour in small amounts of the mix to make 2 pancakes. Allow to cook through until brown underneath, then turn and cook for a few more minutes.
Step 4
Repeat until all the mix is used (you should get 4 pancakes from the mix).
Step 5
Place one pancake on a plate, spread it with some of the chocolate spread, then a layer of sliced banana.
Step 6
Repeat until you have stacked all the pancakes and banana, making sure the top has a thin layer of chocolate spread and a few banana slices. Top with a strawberry then drizzle with the chocolate shot.

Could you use oats instead of ready break?
LisaThursday 25th November 2021
Hi Aimee. Yes, you can! Use the same weight and blitz in a food processor until it looks like a flour. Hope you enjoy the pancakes.
NicolaTuesday 19th January 2021
Is this recipe for 1 portion?

Hi Nicola, yes these pancakes serve 1 person. Hope that helps!
StaceyThursday 11th June 2020
Hi I just purchased the pinch of nom book but the turquoise one, can you tell me if the recipes you are sharing are from the orange/red book by any chance as these aren’t in the one I have 🙂
Thanks
LisaThursday 11th June 2020
Hi Stacey. With the exception of a few website favourites, most recipes in our books are brand new and don’t appear on the website. All the recipes we share on our social media channels will have a link taking your to the recipe on the website. Was there a particular recipe you were interested in?
EllieThursday 28th May 2020
Do you make the ready brek up to use it, or is it just the powder? Thanks
SharonThursday 28th May 2020
Hi Ellie, you use the Ready Brek as dry powder. In step 1, you mix it with the eggs, milk, vanilla and sweetener.
GemmaFriday 15th May 2020
Wow wow wow these were amazing so much better with ready break this will now be made often.
HollyFriday 15th May 2020
Hi Gemma, So glad you enjoyed the pancakes them one of my favourites too
EmilySunday 19th April 2020

Sharon FitzpatrickWednesday 6th May 2020
Hi Emily, thanks for getting in touch and letting us know about your clever idea. Sounds delicious!
Claire WillsMonday 13th April 2020
Bit confused how these are only 5 points on Ww blue I’ve worked them out as a lot more could someone please explain xx
HollyTuesday 2nd June 2020
Hi Claire, I think this recipe has been updated since your comment, the current points on the recipe are correct. Hope that helps!
BryonyWednesday 12th February 2020
Hi, this recipe states that on WW purple it is 1sp, but for 40g of ready brek on WW purple (searching on the WW app) it’s 4sp, which would make the recipe 5sp? Please can this be clarified?
HollyMonday 22nd June 2020
Hi Bryony, I think this recipe may have been updated recently. The points are correct on the recipe page on the website. Here is a link to our guide on hwo we work out our points and nutritional information for all our recipes https://pinchofnom.com/how-to-work-out-calories-and-points-in-a-recipe/

I made these and they looked perfect on Outside but were a soggy mess inside..what did I do wrong
Emma TThursday 19th September 2019
Hi Maire,
It sounds like they needed cooking a little longer – try a lower heat for a bit more time ????
Hope that helps!
Carol BoxThursday 8th August 2019
It says these are 444 kcals per portion, is this correct?
