Gluten-Free Cream Cheese Pancakes

Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
Total: 15 min

Ingredients for 4 servings (2 pancakes per serving)

  • Dry
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1  teaspoon baking powder
  •  Wet
    • 4  eggs
    • 1 egg white
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave)
      • SUBSTITUTE: 1 teaspoon stevia in the raw to reduce carbohydrates even more 
    • 2/3 cup (170g) reduced fat cream cheese (make sure it’s room temperature so it can easily be mixed)

Steps

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients using a fork.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients until smooth. Use a hand-mixer or hand blender to blend. If you use a blender, pulse blend on low. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes in the bowl.

Step 3

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, lightly spray with avocado oil. Add about 1/4-1/3 cup of the batter to the middle of the skillet. Let it set for about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes, or until you start to see small bubbles. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 45 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat.

Step 4

Enjoy the pancakes with low-calorie maple syrup or fresh fruit.
