Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray or butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon no sugar added maple extract
- 1/2 cup soy flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
- 1 tablespoon wheat (or oat) bran
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 cup chopped pecans (walnuts may be substituted)
- Low Carb Fresh Whipped Cream, recipe follows
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
- 1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a griddle or large pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter and heat over medium heat.
- Mix all ingredients except pecans in a blender for about 15 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula, and continue mixing for another 15 seconds until well blended.
- Pour approximately 16 mini-cakes onto the hot griddle, and sprinkle each with a few pecans. Cook on each side for only a minute or 2. Serve hot with melted butter or top with a dollop of Low Carb Whipped Cream.
- With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream just until frothy. Then add in the sugar substitute and vanilla extract and continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break. Store in a pastry bag or glass dish with a lid and refrigerate.

My goodness, I think I just ate dessert! I made a few changes I added 1/4 cup Chia seeds, Instead of wheat bran I used Wheat germ and added a 1/4 cup of flax seed meal. I also added a splash of vanilla extract. For sweetener I use Xylitol. I thought the amount of sugar was a bit much for whipped cream. Over all the pancakes were delicious. i did used a tablespoon of sugar free syrup . Yum
This recipe was amazing…. even my 7 year and 19 yr old loved them! A great low carb alternative for that~ I need pancakes craving! I combined soy flour /almond meal flour and coconut flour for richness along with a tsp of wheat bran! so nutty and delicious! Sugar free syrup and a perfect breakfast in my opinion! thanks for this great recipe!
This is a good recipe, but I really didn’t like the taste of the soy flour. I tried two different alternatives – almond meal / flour and flax seed meal. The texture with the almond meal was a little gritty, but the flavor was good. I loved the version with the flax seed meal. It has a good texture and a wonderful flavor. I will definately make that variation again. I topped them with a sugar free maple syrup. Next time, I will try making a maple infused whipped cream instead.
I tried these today and I definitely think they serve their purpose-a low carb version of a breakfast favorite-however, they need something, not sure what yet, gonna work with it. They taste sort of bland, but I don’t want to add more splenda. Thinking a sf almond milk instead of the cream or something. Any ideas? They definitely hit my pancake craving though, so that’s always a plus
I am all for trying something new esp now that I live low carb….. this sounded do able and maybe tasty – of course that was what I assumed when I read all the reviews…. It must be as good as all these people claim…. Well I don’t agree…. These were horrible… I am sorry but they taste just awful…. Not even close to a pancake….. sorry…..
These were a snap! I substituted walnuts and mixed them right into the batter – no problem.
I made a ricotta/blueberry “syrup” by using the juice of thawed blueberries, ricotta and Splenda. Taste-test and adjust to your likings. Mix in your Magic Bullet. It was pretty great for a low-carb diet! Whoo-hoo!
I used plain yogurt instead of the cream and almond extract. They tasted really good!
… but not anymore! The only thing I did different with mine was I added a little bit of canola oil to the batter and I used vanilla extract,they turned out way better than I thought. And let me say.. that I’m not crazy about soy flour, but this was a case where you only tasted a hint (why I gave it a 4 star)of the soy flour. I was impressed and will make these often. I eat breakfast in the morning and these will be great with my coffee! Thank you!
MUCH better than those terrible low carb packaged pancake mixes. OF course it doesn’t taste like “real” pancakes, but it does help to let you not feel so deprived. And when your craving pancakes, this will do the trick. Not something I would eat very often but it is good every now and again.
This is a real treat! What a way to wake up. Oh happy day!
