We have all been there, you want to lose a few pounds but still enjoy some of your favorite foods. It seems like a gimmick doesn't it? I am not much of a pancake fan. I don't really like cake much either but my family does. I needed to find a way to enjoy foods that are sugar free because of dietary restrictions but not be completely left out of all the sugar fun, so I turned to all the substitutes. I cannot use Stevia, it will not work with my medicines so I decided to try Splenda instead. It wasn't so bad plus  I have used it before in the past. Certain foods I do not like it in but I am working on that. So now when my family has pancakes I can make two recipes one normal with sugar and one with Splenda. In this recipe, I don't think you will miss sugar. It is that good. I won't be sharing my sugar free whip cream recipe because it is basically the same as any other. I just swap out the sugar for Splenda. Just remember, it is 600x sweeter than regular sugar so keep that in mind when deciding how much to use. I only use a couple of packets of Splenda in mine. I really like the Trader Joes Simply Lite Dark Chocolate bar. I only used a few squares for this. I sprinkled some in the batter too before cooking. I even used Vermont Sugar free low calorie syrup. This turned out to be a completely sugar free meal. So enjoy!
