Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons monk fruit powdered
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy-free
- 2 eggs
- butter for the pan, or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
Ganache
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/4 ounce unsweetened chocolate chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit powdered, to taste
- pinch of salt
Additional Toppings
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream whipped to soft peaks, or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 2 ounces fresh raspberries optional
- Mint leaves for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Combine all pancake ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. When melted, pour small circles of about 3 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet (about 6 pancakes). Cook until the pancake is mostly set, bubbles appear throughout, and the bottoms are golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and brown the second side, another 3 minutes.
- While pancakes cook, prepare the ganache – heat the cream until steaming, either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add the chopped chocolate off heat and let stand for 5 minutes then stir until smooth. Stir in sweetener and salt and adjust, adding more sweetness to taste.
- Serve pancakes with ganache, whipped cream, and raspberries, if using. Garnish with mint leaves.
