Instructions:
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
Before you begin, make sure your cream cheese is softened. You can soften it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if needed. - Blend the Batter:
In a blender, combine the eggs, softened cream cheese, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. This should only take a minute or two. - Preheat Your Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. - Cook the Pancakes:
Pour a small amount of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. You can adjust the size to your preference. - Cook Until Bubbles Form:
Let the pancake cook until you see small bubbles forming on the surface, which typically takes 2-3 minutes. This is a sign that the pancake is ready to flip. - Flip and Cook the Other Side:
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. - Repeat:
Continue this process until you’ve used all the batter, adding a bit more cooking spray or butter to the pan as needed. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once your low-carb pancakes are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate. You can top them with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Enjoy your low-carb breakfast!
Variations:
- Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a hint of spice.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the batter.
- Experiment with different low-carb sweeteners like erythritol or stevia to customize the sweetness level.
