Keto Cinnamon Roll Protein Pancakes
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 4 Tablespoons Low Carb Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoons Monk Fruit
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Water, Up To Double The Amount As Needed (See Note)
- FOR THE PANCAKES:
- 6 Tablespoons Low Carb Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder (35g)
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour, Packed (15g)
- 2 teaspoons Monk Fruit
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
- 3 Tablespoons Milk Of Choice (I Use Unsweetened Vanilla Almond)
- 1 Tablespoon Ghee, Melted (or Butter), Plus More For Griddle
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 3 Tablespoons Full Fat Cream Cheese, Softened To Room Temperature
- 4-1/2 teaspoons Monk Fruit
- 2 teaspoons Milk Of Choice, Or More As Needed
- In a medium bowl, whisk protein, cinnamon and monk fruit for the filling. Stir in water (see note below) until smooth and combined. Scoop into a small resealable bag and cut a small tip off the end. Set aside for later.
- Heat a nonstick griddle to medium heat (about 300u0b0F) and rub with ghee.
- For the pancakes, in a large bowl, whisk protein, coconut flour, monkfruit, cinnamon and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg, yogurt, milk and ghee. Pour into flour mixture and stir until well combined. The mixture will be much thicker than normal pancakes.
- Pour a scant 1/4 cup 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 to 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 pancakes cook, place 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!
- Note: 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.
