Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Start by preparing the jam. In a small saucepan, combine the berries and water over medium heat, bringing them to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the berries start to break down.
Stir in the chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of your sweetener, mixing well. Allow the jam to thicken as it cools, about 15 minutes, then transfer to a jar and refrigerate.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and remaining sweetener.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the cream cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a uniform batter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the prepared chia seed jam. Enjoy your low-carb breakfast delight!
