KETO RECIPE: Festive Reindeer (and Santa) Pancakes!
One of my favorite parts about Christmas is making these festive pancakes! I started making them a few years ago and they have now become a family tradition right after we finish opening Santa presents. I make non-keto pancakes for my parents and my keto pancakes for Kaia and I.
I use my Cream Cheese and Coconut Flour Pancakes and then let the bacon, berries and whipped cream do the rest of the work!
You can let everyone make their own creations or you can do the honors for everyone, just make sure the pancakes have a little time to cool or your whipped cream will just melt right off!
INGREDIENTS
This is two servings and makes 6 pancakes. Just double it, triple it etc... for more people!
4 pasture raised eggs
4 oz of softened cream cheese
1 teaspoon of liquid Stevia
1 tsp of Vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
4 tbsp of coconut flour
4 tbsp of butter, divided
Sprinkle of cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I am generous or you can also use Pumpkin Pie Spice)
DIRECTIONS
Put all ingredients in a food processor and mix thoroughly! You could probably also use a bullet or blender.
Heat skillet/griddle to medium high and melt butter on pan
Pour in batter, I made my pancakes about 4" wide
They will get puffy when it is time to flip, they won't really get the air bubbles like a typical pancake but they will set. Second side will cook faster.
For waffles, heat your waffle iron, grease it (I use coconut oil spray) and pour in batter
Let the pancakes cool on the counter for 5 minutes or so before you apply the whipped cream or you’ll have a melted mess:)
This pancake recipe is also in my first cookbook, The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook, which is available on Amazon.
