  1. Warm the cream cheese for about 30 seconds in the microwave until soft, then whisk in the cream until smooth. 1:06
  2. Whisk in the vanilla, eggs and stevia. 1:36
  3. Add 75 g almond flour, the baking powder, salt and spice and whisk well. If the batter is thin, whisk in another 25 g almond flour. 1:55
  4. Lightly spray a non-stick pan with olive oil over medium heat (butter, ghee or coconut oil also work). Pour in rounds of batter, cover with a lid and cook 3–4 minutes until set underneath. 2:38
  5. Flip and cook about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the rest of the batter and serve with a little butter and sugar-free syrup if you like. 3:15

Tip. Makes 4 pancakes, one a serve (the cook’s recipe card). Store-bought fine almond flour gives smoother pancakes than home-ground almonds, as the cook says.

Vitamins & minerals % of a day, one serve · tap for more

Vitamin E High47%

7 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (91%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Selenium Source19%

10 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (75%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Magnesium Source17%

73 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (93%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Vitamin A Source16%

145 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (35%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin B12 Source14%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (83%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Zinc Source10%

1.2 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (67%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Calcium8%

102 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (66%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron8%

1.4 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (68%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Omega-37%

0.1 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (36%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Folate6%

24 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (46%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Potassium5%

250 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (73%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin B65%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (45%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin D4%

0.7 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (75%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K1%

1.4 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (29%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin C0%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (86%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
