Pancakes and low-carb do not seem to go together. I had seen Maria's recipe a while back but didn't even consider making them. Mostly because I am not much of a pancake fan.
Fast forward to Saturday morning and I had a little overnight guest who really enjoys his breakfast. I decided to go ahead and give Maria's recipe a try. I doubled the recipe and added some flaxseed meal to give them some fiber. Gabe loved his pancakes and then #2 daughter walked thru the back door and she wanted pancakes, then #1 son was awakened by all the brewhaha in the kitchen and he wanted pancakes -- by the time I got to making me some there was only enough batter for 2 little bitty ones. They were so very yummy. I used a new to me product - Waldon Farms Pancake Syrup which has no calories, fat, carbs, gluten or sugars of any kind -- and it was pretty tasty too. I think I'll be making pancakes again soon.

Cream Cheese Pancakes
Makes approximately eight 6-inch pancakes
4 oz cream cheese
10-15 drops stevia to go
1 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp flaxseed meal
Place all ingredients in cup of blender. Blend until smooth. Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter. Cook for approximately 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.
I'll have to give these a try, Gail. I used to make pancakes that had cottage cheese in them when my kids were little. They were so airy and light, but they did have a little flour in them.
