Ingredients

Dry ingredients

• 1 scoop  vanilla protein powder 
• 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
• 2 tsp.  baking powder
• 1 pinch  salt
• 1 tbsp.  coconut flour

Wet ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp.  unsalted butter  softened
• 1 tbsp.  cream cheese
• 1 tbsp. granulated sweetener
• 1/4 tsp.  vanilla extract

Instructions

• Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined. 
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, butter, cream cheese, granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract into the middle. Fold the batter together gently and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat. If you’re not using a non-stick pan, you can heat a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat and spray some cooking spray or use a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. 
• Add a 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan at a time and cook until bubbles form on the top surface and then flip over to cook on the other side. They should cook for 3 – 4 minutes on each side.
• Serve immediately with sugar-free syrup or your desired low-carb toppings.
