Yes you can serve up a stack this Shrove Tuesday and still lose weight with Slimming World. With slimming-friendly recipes galore, we make it easy to celebrate your favourite foodie occasions – like Pancake Day – without guilt or restriction.
This year, we’ve tried out the trend for making pancakes in the air fryer, for fabulously fluffy pancakes every time. If a pan-flip is a Pancake Day tradition in your kitchen, we’ve got lots more pancake recipes for you to try, including crepe-style, American-style, oat pancakes and more.

Slimming World air fryer pancakes recipe
makes 6
2 Syns each
ready in 15 minutes plus 30 minutes resting
vegetarian
What you need:
60g plain flour
75ml skimmed milk
3 large eggs
½ tsp of almond or vanilla extract (optional)
What you do:
1. Put the flour, milk and 25ml water in a bowl or jug along with the eggs and flavoured extract (if using). Whisk until smooth and lump-free, then season with a little salt and put in the fridge to rest for half an hour.
2. Heat your air fryer to 200°C. Ladle a sixth of the mixture into 1 of the holes of a silicone pancake mould and repeat to fill the holes (we could cook 3 pancakes at a time in ours). Cook in the air fryer for 3 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula and flip the pancakes over, then cook for another 2 minutes.
3, Once cooked, slide the pancakes onto a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest. Serve with your fave toppings – we went with the flavours of a cherry bakewell, using a handful of defrosted frozen cherries, some fat-free natural yogurt and 1 level tbsp flaked almonds (the almonds add 4½ Syns per serving).
