Who says pancakes have to be off limits when you’re trying to lose weight?

Fluffy, sweet and warm pancakes topped with maple syrup are a menu item that might seem like a no no for those trying to lose weight. But we have great news for fans of this classic comfort food: You don’t have to swear off pancakes! You just have to make smart ingredient swaps and be mindful of your portions.

Many traditional flapjack recipes call for large amounts of all-purpose flour, sugar, milk and butter, which aren’t exactly conducive to weight loss. That’s why we gave pancakes a nutritional flip with lighter, healthier recipes that are delicious and easy to whip up, providing the perfect reason to jump right out of bed.

Here are the healthy pancake recipes you’ll skip “snooze” for:
