Ok, so I’ve been off and on-keto all summer, and currently I’m on. I wanted to fix a late breakfast today and I’ve been craving pancakes for awhile. However, I have not been a fan of the flat almond meal pancakes and I don’t want to go back to sugar-free pancake syrup.

I searched Pinterest and found a recipe for fluffy almond flour pancakes. I liked the ingredients list so I gave it a whirl. Then I started searching for something like a natural PB syrup or sauce to use as a pancake topping. All is saw was several recipes homemade sugar free pancake syrup that required xylitol and xantham gum. Frustrated, I wondered if I could come up with something on my own. But THEN I remembered a favorite keto recipe called Peanut Butter Mouse that has heavy whipping cream, natural PB, vanilla extract and 5 drops of liquid stevia.

So I made the pancake batter according to the recipe. Mixed it up in my Ninja kitchen blender. I discovered fairly quickly why the recipe calls for making smaller sized pancakes when cooking…they don’t hold together like regular pancakes made with flour. They are flimsy even when browned before you flip. So I made my adjustments accordingly.

Also, I got so excited about trying the PB mousse on pancakes that I overmixed the cream and PB. When you overmix it starts turning to butter. So I had to toss that batch and try again. This time I added a little cinnamon to the mix. I topped my 2 pancakes with about 7-8 Lily’s dark chocolate chips.

The end result??? DELICIOUS!!!!!! Putting that PB Mousse on pancakes was one of my best ideas everrrrrr. And the pancake recipe made about 15 decent sized pancakes so I have extra for my lunch tomorrow or to freeze for later.

Here is the link to the pancake recipe.

And here are pictures of the book I got the PB Mouse recipe from.

The recipe calls for 1 C Heavy Whipping Cream, 1/4 C natural PB, 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla, and 5 drops of stevia. I added some cinnamon. Beat with a mixer until peaks form. I only had to mix for about 2-3 minutes.

I’m always so happy when new experiments turn out. 😊
