Low Carb Pancakes

Low Carb Pancakes are a bit like pizza for low carbers. It’s a quest most of us go on to try to find a recipe that we actually like so we can enjoy pancakes for breakfast.

Since I began eating really low carb I have tried many recipes try to create the perfect low carb pancake. I’ve tried other recipes and experimented countless times on my own but have never found the recipe that hit the spot.

I made a couple of recipes that featured cream cheese and the texture and taste was better than other recipes that I had tried. My beef was having to get the beaters or a food processor out in the morning to make them. Arghhhh the noise- I’m a hug your coffee quietly in the corner person, until I wake up in the morning so struggle with the noise. Needless to say I still wasn’t happy with any recipes I had tested.

PEACE AND LOW CARB PANCAKES

I’ve since discovered that if I heat the cream cheese up in the microwave to a soft consistency, there is no to use any machine to beat the mixture. Just use a fork to mix the pancake mixture. Yes…peace and pancakes in the mornings! My kind of day!

I’ve based this recipe on 1 serve, which is adequate for 1 person and it makes approximately 3-4 smaller pancakes. If you want to make this recipe for more people, simply increase the amount of ingredients by the number of people you will be serving.

TIPS FOR COOKING LOW CARB PANCAKES

A trick to making these pancakes is to make sure the pan is hot enough to cook the pancakes but not so hot that they burn. In between cooking each pancake, add a dab of butter to the pan ready to bake the next pancake.

Note that I don’t like to make my pancakes too sweet as I always serve them with something sweet such as berries, jam or pancake syrup. I also add a pinch of salt to the batter and it is the perfect contrast to my sweet toppings.

HOW TO SERVE YOUR LOW CARB PANCAKES

Try serving these with some fresh whipped cream and berries. I suggest trying this low carb recipe for Raspberry Chia Jam Spread  or Strawberry Chia Jam Spread, as they both go really well on pancakes,  especially with some cream, Greek yoghurt or mascarpone. You can now buy sugar free pancake/maple syrups as well which I like to have occasionally on my pancakes, served with just a drizzle of cream.

Now that’s a great way to start the morning on a weekend!

I hope you get to make these pancakes and that you find that my pancake quest was worthy of you making them and enjoying them.
