Keto Pancakes

The smell of fresh pancakes brings forth memories of Saturday morning cartoons, family fun in the kitchen and breakfast for dinner creativity. Once I stopped eating gluten I realized pretty quickly that while I could deal without bread pretty easily pizza, pasta and pancakes were quick staples that I'd grown up keeping on hand for meals after an exhausting day and I missed them. I've been searching for a truly great gluten free pancake for ever since... for years now... and I've finally found one I love. 

This recipe is one that I have been regularly working into my meal preps for a while now and feel confident saying I will keep using. They have a touch of cinnamon, a hint of vanilla and just enough sweetness to sate the desert craving should I want to stuff them with whipped cream and some chocolate shavings or a few berries. I freeze them in 2-3 pancake stacks and microwave them once I get to the office most days but occasionally I'll do breakfast for dinner and pair them with scrambled eggs or an omelette. Either way they are delicious!

A couple quick notes: these are not the thick fluffy pancakes you get at breakfast restaurants (but if you let the mixture sit for a little bit to thicken up you will be able to get them a bit thicker but they will still be a thinner pancake). The reason these pancakes work is the blender, I've tried making them with a whisk and I couldn't get them quite the same. 

Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp of cinnamon (to taste)
  • sugar free sweetener of choice (to taste)- I use between 6 to 10 drops of liquid Stevia

Other Items Needed:
  • griddle or skillet
  • blender
  • spatula

Directions:
  1. Blend everything together well, there should be no lumps. We are looking for a homogeneous mixture that is fairly thin.
  2. Pour mixture onto a hot griddle to create a six inch circular pancake. Be careful, since the mixture is thin it is easy to go overboard on this step and end up with a monster pancake that is difficult to flip.
  3. Let the pancake cook, untouched, until you see bubbles and the edges of the pancake are firm. Then its time to flip!
  4. Flip the pancake and continue cooking until the center is firm.
  5. Plate, add toppings of choice and eat... so good!
