2-Ingredient Cream Cheese Pancakes

Why This Is Strictly Keto

Eggs and full-fat cream cheese are blended into a smooth batter that cooks up without any flour or starch. A little cinnamon and vanilla add sweetness without sugar.


Ingredients

  • 2 oz (1/4 cup) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Butter, for the pan
  • Fresh berries and whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend the batter: Combine the cream cheese, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles settle.

  2. Heat the pan: Melt a little butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Cook: Pour in about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook 2 minutes, until the edges are set and golden, then flip carefully and cook 1 minute more.

  4. Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with berries and whipped cream if you like.

Tips

  • These pancakes are delicate — keep them small and flip gently with a thin spatula.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so no lumps remain in the batter.
  • Keep the heat low; high heat browns them before the centers set.
