WW Recipe of the Day: Lauren's WW Friendly Pancake Coffee Cake Mug
Though moister and denser than traditional coffee cake, this pancake coffee cake has become a personal favorite of mine since Lauren shared it with me a while ago. I sometimes substitute ½ mashed banana for ⅓ cup of the yogurt. I love that it makes a generous single-serving.

Cooking Notes, Additions & Substitutions
The calories and/or WW Points of this recipe may vary depending on the kind of pancake mix you use. I have made this with Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix and BisQuick Heart Smart brands with good success.
Though the recipe calls for stevia, you can substitute your sweetener of choice. I opted for Truvia (affiliate link).
I also added a little bit of sweet baking spice.
I used blueberries to make my pancake coffee cake, but feel free to substitute whatever fruit you like and have on hand. Chopped strawberries, raspberries, chopped peaches or pears or shredded apple would all be delicious.

What size mug did you use?
This looks larger then mine.

Hi Nancy, I'm not sure but believe it was about 12 ounces. You want a large mug because it puffs up quite a bit while cooking in the microwave. ~Martha
