KETO RECIPE: Cream Cheese and Coconut Flour Pancakes


Who doesn't love pancakes and waffles?! I know I do and one of the first keto friendly recipes I experimented with was this one. It's a mixture of eggs, cream cheese, coconut flour and baking powder that makes fluffy, golden pancakes possible on keto.

Cream Cheese and Coconut Flour Pancakes

Makes 6 pancakes

Prep 5 minutes

Cook 10 minutes


INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large 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 (I used Bob's Red Mill

  • 4 tbsp of butter, divided

  • Sprinkle of cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I am generous) 

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and mix thoroughly! You could probably also use a bullet or blender. 

  2. Heat skillet/griddle to medium high and melt butter on pan 

  3. Pour in batter, I made my pancakes about 4" wide

  4. 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. 

  5. For waffles, heat your waffle iron, grease it (I use coconut oil spray) and pour in batter.
