Ingredients
For the Pancakes
- 4 ounces cream cheese (about 1/2 cup)
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons almond flour (preferably unblanched almond flour)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Butter (for cooking the pancakes)
Instructions
- Make the Batter: Blend the cream cheese, eggs, almond flour, and salt together in a blender until smooth to create a thin pancake batter.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: Using a tablespoon, slowly pour the batter onto the hot griddle. To achieve round pancakes, carefully spread the batter outwards with the back of a spoon as it starts to cook, using about 2 tablespoons per pancake to make 3-inch pancakes.
- Alternative Cooking Shape: If perfect circles aren’t important, pour the batter directly and let it spread naturally on the pan.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Cook each pancake for about 1 minute on the first side until it sets and lightly browns, then flip and cook for another minute or until cooked through. Remove and serve warm.
Notes
- Unblanched almond flour adds more texture and flavor compared to blanched almond flour.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before pouring batter so the pancakes start cooking immediately and hold shape better.
- Butter is recommended for cooking to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- This batter is very thin; spreading it carefully helps maintain shape.
- These pancakes are best consumed fresh but can be warmed up gently later.
