Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Blanched almond flour
  • 2 oz. Full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 4 Large eggs room temperature
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • 1 tbsp. Unsalted butter for the skillet

Instructions
 

  • Add the softened cream cheese, whole eggs, almond milk, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract directly into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until the liquid baseline is completely smooth, pale, and free of cheese lumps.
  • Pour the blanched almond flour, baking powder, and salt into the blender. Secure the lid and pulse on high for 30 to 45 seconds just until a thick, uniform pancake batter forms. Let the batter rest undisturbed inside the blender jar for 2 to 3 minutes; this pause allows the leavening agents to activate and puff up the mixture.
  • Melt a tiny pat of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet or flat griddle set over medium-low heat.
  • Pour the batter onto the hot surface in small 4-inch rounds (about 3 to 4 tablespoons per pancake). Keeping keto pancakes relatively small ensures they are stable and easy to flip without tearing.
  • Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes over a steady, low flame. Because almond flour lacks gluten, you won't see as many surface bubbles as traditional batter; look instead for the outer borders to turn matte and look slightly dry.
  • Slide a thin, wide spatula completely beneath the pancake and flip it over in one quick motion. Cook the second side for an additional 2 minutes until both surfaces are a beautiful golden brown and the center feels springy to the touch.
  • Transfer the hot pancakes to a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding a tiny smear of fresh butter to the pan between batches. Serve immediately while warm with sugar-free maple syrup or fresh berries.
