Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 Tbsp Low carb vanilla whey isolate protein powder
- 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp monkfruit
- 2 1/2 - 3+ Tbsp water ** READ NOTES
For the pancakes:
- 6 Tbsp Low carb vanilla whey isolate protein powder (35g)*
- 2 Tbsp Coconut flour, Packed (15g)
- 2 tsp monkfruit
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 Cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 3 Tbsp milk, of choice (I used unsweetened vanilla almond)
- 1 Tbsp ghee, melted (or butter)
For the topping:
- 3 Tbsp full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4 1/2 tsp monkfruit
- 2-3 tsp milk, , of choice (to desired consistency)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein, cinnamon and monk fruit for the filling. Stir in the water until smooth and combined. Scoop into a small ziploc bag and cut a small tip off the end. Set aside for later.
- Heat up a good, non-stick griddle to medium heat (about 300 degrees) and rub with ghee.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the protein, coconut flour, monkfruit, cinnamon and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, milk and ghee. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until well combined - the mixture will be much thicker than normal pancakes.
- Use a scant 1/4 cup, pour the batter onto the heated griddle and spread out slightly (they should be around 3 inches wide) You want to keep this a little bit smaller than normal so they flip!
- When the edges begin to set (about 30 seconds-1 minute in) pipe a spiral of the protein/cinnamon mixture on each pancake. Leave about 1/4 inch space on the edge of the pancake so that filling doesn't just slide out onto the griddle! Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently flip and cook until the other side is golden, another 3-4 minutes.
- While the pancakes cook, place the cream cheese in a medium, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the cream cheese just begins to melt, only 5-10 seconds.
- Whisk in the monkfruit, followed by the milk until smooth. You'll need to put some muscle into whisking to get it smooth!
- Serve covered with the cream cheese and DEVOUR!

Notes
- *Please weigh your flour and protein to ensure results.
- ** the amount of water you need can vary based on your protein. You want the consistency to be soft and squishy, but still a little thick and not runny!
