Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes

My biggest weakness for food is the local breakfast diner’s pumpkin pancakes. They are truly God’s gift to earth.
It takes all my willpower to not cheat whenever I go to breakfast there.
Therefore, I decided to make my OWN pumpkin pancakes this weekend! I have a recipe for a pumpkin waffle, but not yet for pumpkin pancakes. I have seen some good recipes for low carb pumpkin pancakes, but didn’t have the exact ingredients and also wanted to try out my own.

Here are two different versions – one with coconut flour (if you have nut allergies) and one with almond flour. Main difference is that coconut flour absorbs a ton of moisture, so you double the eggs in that recipe. They tasted pretty much the same to me, and have very similar textures.

Ingredients

Ingredients forLow Carb Pumpkin Panckes - With Coconut Flour

• 0.5 cups Canned Pumpkin
• 0.33333333333333 cups Coconut Flour
• 4 Eggs
• 5 drops Stevia or to your preference
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 2 ounces Cream Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
• 3 pats Butter

Ingredients for Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes - With Almond Flour

• 0.33333333333333 cups Almond Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Canned Pumpkin
• 5 drops Stevia or to your preference
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 2 ounces Cream Cheese
• 3 pats Butter

Instructions

• Blend all ingredients together in a food processor, except the butter (which is used for cooking)
• Heat skillet to medium high heat, and melt at least one of the pats of butter
• Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture up and using a flick motion, flick it into the pan so it splatters into a flat circle. My mom somehow perfected this and it was easier than it sounds
• After edge starts to come up, flip the pancake and give it a small 'smoosh' with the spatula, to flatten it down
• Cook until done (firm). Note that pancakes seem to take awhile to cook
• Serve with butter and if desired, sugar free maple syrup!

The almond-pancakes serve about two (8 pancakes, four per person) and the coconut flour version serves three (12 pancakes, four per person). These are very dense pancakes and will keep you full!
