Ingredients

  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter
  • pinch fine salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 4 oz softened full-fat cream cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 tsp granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and pinch fine salt in a blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth and slightly frothy. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add half of the 2 tsp unsalted butter and swirl to coat.

  3. 3

    Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet - you should get 3 small pancakes per batch. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges look set and the bottoms are golden. These pancakes are delicate; flip gently and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the second side.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining unsalted butter and batter. Serve immediately, topped with sugar-free syrup or fresh berries if desired.

Questions

Can I make Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, 2 tsp unsalted butter) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free breakfast collection instead.

How long does Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
