Low-Carb Pancakes

Engineer in the Kitchen's Note:

If you are watching your carbs and craving pancakes, here is a breakfast you will like. To obtain almond meal, put some almonds in your food processor and pulse them until they are the consistency of cornmeal. Be careful if you over-pulse, you will obtain almond butter :).

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 cup almond meal or 1 cup almond flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup sparkling water (you can use flavored)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Cook the batter as you would pancakes, be careful not to burn them as you might not get the regular bubbles.
3. Serve them with sugar-free syrup.

Had breakfast for dinner last night and I felt like I was eating an almond cookie for my meal. Delicious. I did my own almond meal in the food processor, so it wasn't as consistent as I'd imagine it would be from the store, but I don't have access to such things readily, so it worked. I doubled this recipe to freeze in pairs for later meals and got 10 good sized pancakes from a double batch. Very filling pancakes as well. I had two and felt stuffed. Topped these with agave syrup I flavored with maple and butter extracts. Had my doubts these would cook up, as they look gelatinous as a batter, but surprisingly fluffy out of the pan. Thanks for sharing.

These are good for low carb. I made my own almond meal which was much cheaper and very easy. They are a nutty pancake but they do solve the pancake craving.

What? Eat pancakes and not be so carb-loaded you can't move the rest of the day? :-) These have a strong nutty flavor--not your regular boring pancakes. They're a beautiful texture, grainier/chewier though, so people expecting the Bisquick-type will be surprised. This recipe makes four medium pancakes so likely serves two people unless you're very light eaters.
