Delicious Low-Carb Cream Cheese Pancakes
These 4-Ingredient Cream Cheese Pancakes are a fantastic recipe for low-carb pancakes that are delicious and easy to make. They're made with cream cheese, almond flour, eggs, and sweetener, these keto pancakes are so good, you won't even miss the wheat flour!
Ingredients
- 4 Ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 eggs large
- 2 Tablespoons Sweetener (such as stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit. I used Golden Monk Fruit.)
- ⅔ Cup Almond Flour or Almond Meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract optional
- 2 tablespoons oil, for frying Use coconut oil or Avocado oil.
- Pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese and other ingredients (eggs, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt) and mix until thoroughly combined. Your batter should be smooth and thick. I found it easier and less messy to mix it with a fork, however, you can use the mixer, if desired.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease the skillet with some coconut oil, almond oil or butter, and then pour in the batter using a ¼ cup measuring cup. I like to add 4-5 pancakes per pan. Each pancake is about 3 to 3 ½ inches in diameter. They are way easier to flip if they are this size.
- Cook the pancakes for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can serve these pancakes with butter and sugar-free syrup, or try topping them with some fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for a special treat.
Notes
Add-ons
One of the best things about this cream cheese pancake recipe is that it's extremely versatile. You can add some cinnamon, chopped nuts, blueberries, or even some chocolate chips to the batter for an extra boost of flavor.
Are low-carb pancakes eggy?
Don't worry about these pancakes being too eggy or cheesy – the cream cheese gives them a beloved and fluffy texture, while the almond flour adds a nutty taste and low-carb-friendly consistency.
