Default Make Waffles/Pancake Batter Yourself - Or Use Mixes?

I hate pancakes, rarely make waffles (they have to have a fried crisp
texture) but love French Toast.

I use Mrs Buttersworth Sugar Free syrup (tried many s-f syrups and that
one is the thickest richest tasting to me.) I love to add chopped pecans
to the syrup.

Take 3 pancakes, add 1/4 cup syrup, and you are looking at 80+ net
carbs.

Take 3 slices light italian bread, make french toast, add 1/4 cup s-f
syrup, and you have ~25 net carbs.

ps in a pinch I dont mind the occasional Eggo-fry it in butter instead
of toasting :-)
