- Stir together the cream cheese, monk fruit, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Then add the coconut beverage and stir until completely combined. Set aside.
- Add all pancake ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, spray with a little bit of avocado oil and then pour small circles of about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet (will make about 8 pancakes). Cook until the pancake is partially set and then cut the corner of the ziplock and use it as a piping bag to pipe cinnamon butter in a swirl on top of the batter.

Repeat until all batter is used and then serve with a cream cheese drizzle.
