I make a mean pancake(crepes to the uncultured) and here is my recipe, scaled according to how healthy you want to make it;
-1 dl of flour for every egg, double that for milk, add some salt and you've got your base, you can make pancakes out of this.
--Now add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of potato flour(/starch) for every egg to ensure the pancakes do not break when you flip them.
---Add some cinnamon(ceylon ideally) to get that nice "cooking pancake" smell going and add some ginger/cardamom to taste.
----Crush some flax seeds/pumpkin seeds to powder and add them to your batter, it adds some fiber and is good for you. Pumpkin seeds even make them taste sweeter.
-----If you want your pancakes to crunch a little bit when you bite them for some reason, add some chia/poppy seeds to your batter. It also adds some more fiber.
------Change out the flour for a gluten free variant, like chickpea/buckwheat flour. Compensate for the lack of gluten with more potato flour(/starch).
And that's it! You've got pancake batter now! All you gotta do now is spend the next hour frying it.
But this is a recipe so I'm gonna pretend you've already done that, so that bring us to condiments! What do you put on your pancakes(crepes)!
-Sweetener! WHY IS THIS UP HERE!? Some sweeteners are alright and are better than what's below. Some sweeteners (that cannot crystalize like sugar) come packaged dusted onto filler material such as maltodextrin. Maltodextrin has GI index median of 99, sugar is a straight 100. Maltodextrin can be worse than actual sugar depending on the person. Do not eat it if you're trying to be healthy.
--Sugar! Old classic, can't go wrong with it.
---Syrup! Another classic, Ideally maple syrup but if you're desperate any will do.
----Jam! You can change the fruit according to taste!
-----Chocolate! Just grate it over your pancake, can adjust the sweetness according to what kinda chocolate you like.
------Erythritol! A kind of sugar alcohol sweetener, that probably has no side effects at all! besides the laxative effect.
-------Xylitol! Like maple syrup, this stuff is made of tree blod! Unlike maple syrup, it's actually good for your teeth.
--------Butter! Just butter!
---------NOTHING! ONLY PANCAKE!
