Description
Indulge in these fluffy, rich pancakes packed with protein goodness!
Ingredients
4 ounces (113.4 g) cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1/4 cup (62.5 g) unsweetened almond milk (use hemp milk for nut-free)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (105 g) almond flour (sub sunflower seed flour for nut-free)
3/4 cup (81 g) chocolate whey protein powder (can sub egg white protein)
1/3 cup (60.67 g) Swerve Granular
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Oil or butter for the pan
Instructions
In a large blender, combine the cream cheese, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Add the almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and cocoa powder and blend again until well combined and smooth.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a little oil. Use about 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the tops and the edges are set and dry, 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully wiggle a thin-bladed spatula under the pancakes and flip over. Continue to cook until the second side is nicely browned, another 3 or 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
You should get about 18 4-inch pancakes.
