Instructions

  • Combine sweetener, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until completely smooth. Transfer the mixture to a ziplock bag and place in the refrigerator until soft yet no longer liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • 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. Let cook until the bottoms are golden, about 5 minutes in total then flip and cook until the second side is golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used and then serve with a cream cheese drizzle.
