Cream Cheese Pancakes

[SarahC]

I found this recipe online (pinterest):

Cream Cheese Pancakes
2 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1 packet stevia sweetener
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet.  Blend until smooth.  Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle.  Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray.  Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.  Repeat with the rest of the batter.  Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.  A surprisingly satisfying substitute for the real thing.  Tastes like skinny fried cheesecakes!  Even if you aren't watching your carbs these are a delicious departure from the traditional doughy stack of pancakes.  And you won't have the sleepy feeling that usually comes afterwards!

This does sound just so delish!
Thanks Sarah!... It's on my "to make" list!

BTW... That "sleepy" feeling is a symptom of a "sugar crash" after a glucose spike.
I've haven't felt one of those for quite some time now!

God bless FTS!

OK here's the report;

1st, don't try to mix in a stand mixer....use a blender or bullet as the recipe calls for...if not the cream cheese won't dissolve enough and it will be clumpy.

They tasted good and reminded Umpa and I of crepes. I doubled the recipe and I replaced the Stevia with 3 drops Zero (for double batch) I used cinnamon and it was a good idea. I used butter on my griddle. Next time I'll use Kraft Philadelphia brand 1/3rd less fat cream cheese to cut the carbs in half, here's the pic along side a wonderful Italian sausage.

Ok, I'm going to go make these right now for brunch. I'll have them with egg muffins. If they're not good, I'll let you know! Haha.

[SarahC]

Aaaaa! I can't believe I ate the whole thing! Sooo good! The things one can make without flour always amazes me!

They were wicked good! Next time I will fill them like crepes with fruit and whip cream.

I played with the recipe a little bit and cut back on the cream cheese a little and added 0 carb protein powder. They were good.

Yes, I have been running behind on the forum lately!  I've been busy at the office, and in the evenings too.  A lady in our community is having to stay with her mom who is having BOTH knees replaced.   So.....Madison and I have taken on the care of her horses while she is gone.  We are having a blast with them!
