Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (half a standard package)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil for cooking
- Optional: ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- Optional: ½ teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Ensure cream cheese is softened; microwave for 20-30 seconds if needed. Add eggs, vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon (if using), and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Blend ingredients using an immersion or regular blender until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Sprinkle coconut flour and baking powder over the batter; blend until just incorporated. Let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or coconut oil and let melt.
- Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the heated surface; cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a warming plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
- Keep eggs and cream cheese at room temperature for the best batter.
- Rest the batter for a short time to absorb moisture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- For reheating, use a microwave, toaster, skillet, or air fryer.
