Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
4 large eggs
4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 4 oz softened full-fat cream cheese, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.
2

Add 2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal), 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes so the almond flour absorbs the moisture.
3

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small portion of 2 tbsp unsalted butter and swirl to coat.
4

For each pancake, spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet and gently spread to a 3-inch round. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
5

Flip carefully and cook on the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
6

Serve warm with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Step 5: cook until golden brown.

Why rest the batter for Almond Flour Pancakes?

What can I use instead of almond flour in Almond Flour Pancakes?
