Happy Valentine’s Day!!! For those of you really looking to get in the romantic spirit today, you should listen to the Valentine’s Day Playlist I posted a few days ago. Whipping up some Red Velvet Cake Batter Brownies isn’t a terrible idea either 😉
**********
If there’s anything I’ve learned from reading blogs and browsing Pinterest, it’s that:
1) we love our pancakes
2) the less ingredients, the better
3) lower carb and grain free are like, really in right now
And honestly, I’m on board with all of those! I’ll always be partial to portion control as the best way (for me) when it comes to getting Lean in 2014, but I also fall into the camp that tries to cut back on grains/carbs when I can, but most importantly when it still tastes good.
I’ve tried other 2 ingredient pancake concoctions out there, and this is one of my favorites. Combining fruit or veggies with eggs always kind of weirded me out, but this combination is very reminiscent of crepes, which I just love.
ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 ounces cream cheese
Optional add-ins: cinnamon, sweetener of choice (I use Stevia)
directions:
Combine eggs and cream cheese in a blender (I use my NutriBullet, and it works great). Cook on a greased nonstick pan on medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side. The batter is very thin, so it doesn’t take long to cook.
Yields 3 large panCREPES. These are great for filling with your favorite fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.
I’ve been eating them like regular pancakes with butter and peanut butter.

These look awesome! I’m not a big fan of baked goods recipes that use applesauce instead of eggs. I seem to see a lot of those on Pinterest, but I just don’t care for the texture I get when I try it. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, haha
Yum! I actually follow a similar recipe - eggs and canned pumpkin. Cream cheese sounds like a creamier and higher in protein.
Thanks for sharing
ooh I’ll have to try it with pumpkin!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that’s weirded out by fruit & egg combinations…I’ve tried it and have never been impressed. These, on the other hand, sound delicious!
Delicious!!
Those pancakes look so good! But I gotta be real, the red velvet brownie picture stole the show for me!
hehe yeah, they tend to do that 😉
What an interesting combo. As a big time breakfast lover I’ll have to give these a try!
Will try that recipe! The funny thing is that I just posted a recipe of a 2 ingedient pancake on my blog! Maybe you can try that?
