Fresh Peaches and Cream Cheese Pancakes -- Gluten Free, Low Carb -- Wheatless Buns
Last Sunday I was craving some pancakes with fresh peaches. Unfortunately, most of the gluten free, low carb pancakes I've made turn out flat and soggy, especially after adding the toppings. If I'm going to eat a mushy pancake, I might as well skip the cooking process and just eat the batter with some syrup on it! ...yum!! ;-) Anyway, this is what I came up with--and they are the bomb!
Ingredients:
3/4 C. vanilla whey protein powder (gluten free, low carb)
1/2 C. almond flour (not almond meal)
2 tsp. baking powder (gluten free)
2 oz. cream cheese (softened)
2 eggs
1/8 C. oil (your choice)
1/8 C. plain almond milk
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
A few slices of fresh peaches (depending on your level of carb intake)
Note: You may want to double this recipe. It will make approx. 4 - 5 small pancakes.
Heat up a slightly oiled frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) on medium heat. Mix all the ingredients together. The batter will be thick like waffle batter:

Pour about 1/4 C. of batter into the pan and smooth out
slightly with a spoon. These pancakes won't bubble up like normal ones. When they're ready to flip, they'll be brown on the underside and will have a dull shiny look--not a wet look:

Keep the finished pancakes warm while cooking the remainder.
Prior to serving, lather butter on each pancake and
top with fresh sliced peaches, whipped cream sweetened
with a low-carb sugar substitute, and sugar-free maple syrup.
These pancakes are thick and hold up well under a pile of butter, warm syrup, and tons of whip cream. However, if you like your pancakes thinner, add a little more almond milk in one TBLS. increments. Also, these pancakes are VERY FILLING. So when I make these again, I'll only eat one at a time, instead of three! But I'm telling you, these were way good!! (scroll down for one more pic)
