Pancakes

When we first started eating low carb I really missed pancakes. I tried many recipes, most of which started with almond flour. I like almond flour for somethings but pancakes isn't one of them. I find the texture is way to gritty for pancakes. I finally ran across a recipe that uses coconut flour and have adapted it. We love these. If we have leftovers we freeze them and they warm up great in the toaster, that is if you don't gobble them all down!

Pancakes

4 ounces cream cheese softened

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon sugar substitute such as erythritol*

4 tablespoons coconut flour

Almond Milk, Whole Milk or Heavy Cream - just enough to thin the batter a little

Mix all ingredients except the milk and let sit for just a bit to let the batter thicken. Then thin if necessary with the milk.

As for syrup we found this Choc Zero syrup that we really like. However, as you see by the photo if you microwave it too long to heat it up the bottle will melt. This was 25 seconds. Evidently when Terry was warming it up he only put it in for 10 seconds and the bottle held up just fine. Oops.
