Pancakes without any standing over the skillet or griddle while you’re flipping? Sign me up! This recipe uses my Cream Cheese and Coconut Flour Pancake recipe, but in a larger batch cooked in the oven. The result is a light, puffy pancake “cake” that you can top with butter and low-carb syrup like ChocZero. 

Pancake Cake

Serves: 4

Active prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 4 tablespoons of butter, plus more for pan and top of cake

• 8 large eggs

• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

• 4 teaspoons of liquid stevia

• 3 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 cup coconut flour

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1∕₂ cup blueberries (optional, but I love them!)

• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a baking pan with butter. I use this pan a lot, but if you want the round shape I have also used this pie dish.

   • Also for a fun alternative check out these pancake bites I made in an individual brownie pan.

2. In a food processor (or blender), process the eggs, cream cheese, stevia, baking powder, vanilla extract, grated lemon zest, and coconut flour until thoroughly combined.

3. Mix in the blueberries and fresh thyme leaves.

4. Spread out the 4 tablespoons of butter in the prepared pan.

5. Put the pan in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the butter. Let the butter bubble, but make sure it doesn’t brown or burn. Remove from the oven.

6. Pour the batter into the pan.

7. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

8. Place the cake on a cooling rack, and melt a few more tablespoons of butter on top if you wish.

9. Cut the pancake “cake” into 4 pieces and serve warm.

10. Serve up with some Choc Zero Syrup.
