Low Carb Gluten-free Pancakes - 2 carbs

Low Carb Cream Cheese Pancakes - 2 carbsYesterday was my birthday, and so I was looking around online for a low carb birthday cake.

While I did find a few, they all used artificial sweeteners and since I am still experiencing a headache from the Yogurt Bites I made the other day with yogurt sweetened with Splenda - I thought I would pass.

But I did come across a recipe for Low Carb Pancakes, so I thought I would make a treat for my lunch!

Mine didn't come out as pretty as her's, but they still tasted good!

Pancakes ingredients
1/4 cup (56ml) cream cheese
2 large eggs
1 tsp (2ml) date palm sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp (1ml) cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp (15ml) butter

Preparation:
Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot panBlend all ingredients in a blender, until smooth. Heat butter at medium in frying pan. Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan. Cook for two minutes until golden, flip and cook one more minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

You can serve this with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries. If you do, you don't need to add the palm sugar, it is sweet enough with the syrup.

I didn't have any, and I am not going to try artificial sweeteners again, so I always add the palm sugar and cinnamon. I have tried both a dollop of butter on top of my panckaes - or - I add a teaspoon of Cinnamon Spread (2.4g carbs) to my plate and eat a bit of it with each bite of pancakes.
