Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Almond Flour bulk/Costco
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese or cream cheese
  • 4 each Eggs free range
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder aluminum free
  • 1 tbsp Lemon rind, grated
  • 1 Lemon juiced/squeezed
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1 tsp Monkfruit Extract OPTIONAL
  • 2 oz Coconut Oil (1/2 for batter, 1/2 for greasing skillet)

Equipment

  • mixing bowl, measuring cup and spoons, spatula, spoon, griddle or large skillet

Method
 

  1. In a medium or large microwavable bowl, soften the cheese in the microwave.
  2. Whisk together the 4 eggs (or create 4 flax eggs), and blend into the cheese.
  3. Add the lemon juice (squeezed) and grated lemon zest (rind), and mix well. Add 1/2 of the coconut oil and whisk together quickly (it will begin to cool and clump up).
  4. In a large measuring cup, add the almond flour and baking powder - mix together.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the large bowl and mix thoroughly until well blended. Do not over mix the batter or the pancakes will not rise as much.
  6. If you're not concerned about keeping the "keto" part of this recipe, feel free to add blueberries (personal favorite), chocolate chips or other yummies.
  7. Note: Some people prefer extra sweet pancakes. If you do and Monkfruit extract doesn't bother you - adding 1 teaspoon to the entire batter should be plenty to boost the sweetness factor.
Cooking
  1. Cook in coconut oil on medium to medium - high heat (depending on your griddle or stove) for 2 - 3 minutes per side, flip once.
  2. Do not overcrowd the pancakes. If you're using a skillet - 3 or 4 at a time is plenty.

Programming Notes:
  • Adding blueberries or other fruits and fillers will change the macronutrient breakdown. Please recalculate the carbohydrates, protein, and fat to ensure you're achieving your goals - especially if you're on a strict ketogenic diet.
  • If you like a more lemony flavor - consider adding more rind from a second lemon, or adding more juice.
