Low-Carb Pancakes with Sugar Free Strawberry Jam

One thing that I really don't miss eating is sweets. I've never been a big fan of sweets, cookies, cakes, sweet rolls, etc. But one thing I really do miss is pancakes and french toast! 

For the longest time I've wanted to try making the low-carb pancakes that everyone is raving about. These don't require flour of any kind. 

My friend and co-worker Angie makes some super delicious pancakes but she uses Almond and/or Coconut Flour and Protein Whey...which are all a bit expensive for my taste. 

The pancakes I made tonight are made with cream cheese, eggs, Splenda and cinnamon...easy peasy and something most of us have in the fridge and pantry!


Pretty aren't they? And this was the ugly one...so I ate him! They are the texture of a crepe but the cinnamon reminds me of french toast. Can't wait to share these tomorrow with my co-worker with a cup of Starbucks coffee! 

Oh...and this is not my recipe or my idea...there are many much wiser low-carbers out there than I. They try over and over again to get these recipes right and then I get to try the no-fail recipe! Gotta love them! 

The recipe for this version is again from one of my fav low-carb bloggers, Mellissa Sevigny from I Breathe...I'm Hungry.

    1. Thanks! The jam hid some of the mistakes I made with the first one. I turned it too early and it split in half and I had to do some quick cosmetic surgery. I will definitely be making these again. This morning my co-worker and I reheated them in the microwave and added the jam and had them with our morning coffee...definitely makes me feel like I'm not cheating myself out of enjoying the good things in life...like pancakes and coffee :)
