Looked at several different almond meal pancake recipes and decided to take bits and pieces from a few to get to a nice balance of carbs, protein, fat and calories -- and taste!

These had a taste and feel as close to real pancakes. What is also nice is that you can play with the measurements if you want to change up the balance.

60 grams protein powder
(Couple of notes: We use Nitrean which delivers 120 cal, 2f, 24protein, and 2carbs per 30g. We also used vanilla which may be too sweet for some, so you can sub in different flavors or even plain to get to your taste preference)

1/3 cup Almond Meal

1/2 cup egg beaters

1 oz cream cheese

2 tablespoons oil

1/4 cup water

2 teaspoons baking powder

dash cinnamon

It helps if you mix in the cream cheese with the liquid ingredients to soften before folding in to the dry ingredients. Spatula works fine.

We got 8 good sized pancakes, made a double batch and froze them a quick, mid-week alternative to eggs.

As with similar recipes these don't necessarily bubble up, so watch them on the griddle or pan to flip before they burn.

Our nutrition count is as follows:

Per Pancake:

102 calories
6.78 fat
.79 saturated fat
0 cholesterol
506 sodium
.75 fiber
.41 sugar
8.9 protein
1.57 carbs

Love your feedback once you've tried them!!

Bon Appetit!
