Cream Cheese Pancakes

I'm forever looking for a low carb breakfast that isn't egg. Egg is a main stay and makes a quick breakfast...I'm just not a fan and at work it's hard to make eggs.

I've made a couple of versions of pancakes so far. Almond flour ones aren't great, but doable in a pinch. THESE, however, were quick, easy, and delicious. I only made one small modification of adding vanilla. The recipe calls for Vanilla Steva which I didn't have, so dropped in some vanilla extract.

Other modifications I think would be good:

• Adding cinnamon
• Adding a dollop of pumpkin puree
• Adding bacon/sausage or something to make them savory. 
• Adding cheese (and not add the steva so much)

Also, you need to stir the batter before making a new pancake. The psyillium husk tends to sink.

6 large eggs or 4 duck eggs for fluffier pancakes

6 ounces cream cheese

15 drops vanilla stevia drops optional (without the vanilla Steva I added a tsp of vanilla extract)

1 T whole psyllium husks whole

Place all ingredients in a small blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Pour about 3 tablespoons batter onto hot griddle or large frying pan for each pancake.

When top is covered in bubbles and edges appear dry, flip pancakes. Continue to cook until bottom side is browned.

Remove from griddle. Serve warm with butter and low carb maple flavored syrup if desired.
