So....we decided to start doing the ketogenic diet and so far it is pretty terrific! We both are feeling great, sleeping like the dead, and are dropping weight...all without feeling deprived or hungry! What??? That sound impossible! Apparently it isn't! Yay!
To top it off, today I came across this wonderful recipe that is fabulous, so I wanted to share.
Ingredients
Batter:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or sugar free vanilla syrup
- 1 tablespoon sugar substitute, or more to taste
- 4 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 dash cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract (optional)
- almond milk or half and half as needed
For pancakes only:
- 1/2 teaspoon additional baking powder
For waffles only:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar substitute, maple extract, and cinnamon with a blender or mixer. Add melted butter to waffle batter if desired.
- Add baking powder and coconut flour, blending again until well combined.
- NOTE: The matter may thicken if left to sit for more than a few minutes. If this happens, just add a splash of almond milk, cream, or half and half to thin it again.
For Pancakes:
- Using an electric griddle set to 325F or a greased pan over medium heat, pour batter to form circles between 4 and 6 inches in diameter.
- Flip pancakes when the edges begin to harden and the surface begins to bubble. Cook on the other side 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
For Waffles:
- Add batter to preheated waffle iron. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve with butter, sugar free syrup, and/or fruit/jam.
