Low Carb Pancakes Recipe

Low Carb Pancakes

(My not-so-low-carb husband gave them the taste test, and he says that they taste better than regular pancakes!)

Ingredients:

6 tbsp. coconut flour

4 large eggs

1 cup of ½ and ½ (or cream)

2 tsp. baking powder

1/16^th tsp. salt

2 packets of Truvia (optional)

2 tbsp. butter

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together (except butter). 

Melt butter in griddle on medium high heat. 

Spoon batter to make 16 pancakes.

Turn when edges start to dry.

Serves 4

8 carbs minus 4 fiber per serving = 4 net carbs (excluding Truvia)

Low Carb Bread

Low Carb Bread

This bread can be used to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon melted butter
1 egg
¼ cup almond flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Splenda
a pinch of salt


Procedure:

** This can be made in a glass bowl, large mug, or sandwich-sized square Pyrex container.
Melt the butter for 35 seconds in the microwave.
Whisk in the egg.
Add the remaining ingredients, blending well.
Cover with plastic wrap. Poke a hole in the top.
Then, microwave for 1 minute and 25 seconds.
Cool on a wire rack.

I cut it into 2 pieces.

** The dough will take the shape of the container. I.e. a large mug will make a muffin, a flat plate will form a pancake. So don’t hesitate to get creative and throw in sugar-free chocolate chips, a tbsp of peanut butter, or a spoonful of pumpkin sweetened with Stevia...
