Ingredients
- 4 oz, softened cream cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp, for cooking unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and fluffy.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 2 tbsp erythritol, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and the mixture thickens into a compote.
- Step 4: Serve pancakes warm topped with the blueberry compote for a sweet, low-carb breakfast treat.
