Default Pancakes - Couldn't Believe It! They Saved Me!

New here..so forgive me if this is "old" news...but I was on Pintrest (haha yes a guy on Pintrest - for "business" reasons)...and there are a lot of postings on low carb recipies.

One lady featured pancakes - and I thought...no way...and immediately got up and made them. I almost cried they were so good.

I've simplified it...but here is basic recipie:

2 eggs
2 ounces of cream cheese (look for 0 carb or less than 1 carb option)
1 or 2 teaspoons of Stevia in the Raw (buy the big bag at Walmart)
If you want...some cinnamon

Put in blender - and blend good.

Heat griddle and put on Pam or cooking spray (lightly).

Pour in small pancakes until you get the hang of it. Don't turn until they almost look "dry" with bubbles..you have to scoop fast with the spatula because they are thin.

You can melt butter and pour on them if you are really wanting to make yourself "feel the guilt"
Then LIGHTLY drizzle no sugar syrup... get the lowest you can find..mine I think is Hungry Jack No Sugar with 8 carbs per 1/4 cup...but don't use that much..you don't need it.

Eat with lots of sausage and bacon.

It is a mix between pancakes and french toast in flavor. But the texture is a MUCH NEEDED addition to the diet.

I use the pancakes sometimes as a "rollup" for meats - just don't put in as much sweetener.....even taco meat or turkey.

The whole thing is probably 4 carbs or less - depending on how much syrup you pour...JUST DRIZZLE!

There you have it...sorry if you know about it...but I couldn't make it without them...the single biggest addition to my low carb lifestyle - NEARING 50 pounds and 6 inches lost in waist.

Definitely going to try this! There's another pancake recipe on here that I like, but this has many less ingredients!

Could you make this work without a blender, just by stirring really quickly? I'm a novice cook.

If you allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature first, you could use what cooks used before there were blenders: a mechanical egg beater, the kind you crank around and around. It will just take a bit of work is all.

But, Mr. Novice Cook, you really need to get a blender. Every kitchen should have one, IMO. Every. Kitchen. And they are cheap! Even cheaper if you buy one at a garage sale.

A small food processor is also cheap, but does not hold the volume that a blender can.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Vitamix blender. It is so versatile and well made. I've used it to make nut butters, chop onions, make smoothies, cream of vegetable soups, and so much more. I've had mine over 20 years and expect it to last indefinitely. Plus, what other company can you name that gives their merchandise a 7 year warranty?!

Vitamix

(No, I do not work for the company.)

I agree, some great tools in the kitchen can really help with variety, and that is what we need to stay the course IMO!!

Costco had the BULLET for only $29.99 complete with all the attachements - great deal. Really good for one person but not a whole family. Otherwise a blender is necessary. You can probably get one easily for under $30

I made these for lunch today and ate them with a smear of no-sugar peanut butter. They were perfect!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love them and sometimes add a scoop of protein powder. It gives them more of a pancake texture and less crepe like. Either way they are great : )

Made these for breakfast. Browned some slivered almonds in pan in a little butter first. Made just one large pancakes adding salt and pepper instead of sugar. Deliciously satisfying and the almonds gave a lovely bite.
