- Warm the cream cheese for about 30 seconds in the microwave until soft, then whisk in the cream until smooth. 1:06
- Whisk in the vanilla, eggs and stevia. 1:36
- 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
- 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
- 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.

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.

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.
