Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Pancakes
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Here is my breakfast Low Carb cooking video where I make my favorite low carb pancake recipe. This isn’t Induction friendly due to the Baking mix, but you could substitute some almond flour to make it Induction legal. Here’s the recipe:
* 8oz pkg cream cheese
* 3 eggs
* 3 tsp Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
* 1/4 cup Atkins Bake Mix *recipe below
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or buttermilk
Beat cream cheese with mixer until blended smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and let sit for 5 minutes. Preheat non-stick pan to med/high heat. Spray pan with non stick spray and use 1/4 cup measure per pancake. Yield 10 pancakes.

Any artificial sweetener can cause stalls, but some are more likely than others. Some sugar alcohols, like malitol, are nearly the same sugar at 75% GI of sugar. So as with anything else, your mileage may vary. You can try it and see if your weightloss is not as fast as you would like. If it isn’t, stop for a 3-4 weeks, and see if it gets more consistent.
Hey there, noticed you mentioned sorbitol- which is also in sugar free chewing gum. I’ve been eating chewing gum whilst being on the induction phase, does this stall weightloss?
Great Recipe and Great Video I do have a different recipe that is a great quick lc pancake recipe
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 glug olive oil
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
add water while slowly mixing to batter consistancy.
Cook
not as pretty as yours but quick and tasty.
I will try yours on a sunday morning though thanks and wtg on the weight loss
I am glad you liked it. I should have another one coming up after my marathon this weekend, and my time is more free.
Just want to thank you for all the great recipes you’ve posted up. Keep them coming!!
My Favorite Low Carb Recipe is-
A modified Bowulf’s Mock Danish Recipe, start with mock danish recipe then add about 10 frozen blueberries. Nuke for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Top with butter and sugar free smuckers blackberry jam. Enjoy as you lose weight. Truly awesome and no bitter soy flour flavor. Add some bacon and sausage on the side and it’s better then going out after church. Trust me people…give it a go. Not light and fluffy, but not heavy either. NO Carb Nap Needed!
It actually is a healthy recipe filled with natural ingredients unlike most pancade recipes. I can’t imagine stuffing myself with old insulin spike causing pancakes ever again. My heart couldn’t happier for me having started it.
cream cheese & whole eggs, sounds like a death recipe.
Congrats on your weight loss!
You could cream the cream cheese with a hand mixer or by hand (and get exercise too), but it will be a bit tougher. It certainly could be done though.
As for picking out a stand mixer, Amazon normally has great deals on refurb Kitchen Aid mixers. Normally half what you would pay in the store.
I am glad you liked the recipe.
I am in my fourth week right now and those look really good. How important is the mixer? Do you have any suggestions to pick one out? So far I have lost 18lbs and one belt size… I am extremely happy with this so far… There were a few things I started to eat that I was unaware of the carb count. So now I have started planning with a carb count sheet.
Great advice. Remember that last 20 pounds should be slower so you have enough time to practice for maintenance. I’m on OWL and lose an average of 6 pounds a month but those are smoothed averages. Some months when I lost the most inches and had clothes falling off of me were in actuality 2 pound lose months but the smoothed average showed the truth behind the lost inches. Just watch your clothes and keep on moving up that ladder.
Keep focusing on the inches lost. You know people lose weight on the OWL phase as well. Don’t get too comfortable or in a rut, and then eventually feel deprived. It sounds like you are on the right track having added fruits (5-10g probably) and nuts.
Just be cautious with portions sizes. I just recently had to give up nuts for awhile as my portion sizes weren’t staying under control.
And healthy ones at that! I really need to get that Pancake Syrup from DaVinci again. I get a little paranoid about the sorbitol, but the syrup isn’t as bad as some.
Pancakes !!! Great !!!
Thanks for the feedback ! You are awesome! I am trying to stay on the Induction part of the plan because I still have 20 more pounds to lose..I do eat 1/4 c of fruit or nuts a couple of times a week..but I think that may be slowing down my weight loss alot. I keep going up or down by 2 pounds for like a month. That may be the exercise building muscle..I came down 1/2 inch all around and a full inch off my neck..So, I’m going to keep going !!!! Thanks for all the great ideas.
I have tried it and wasn’t happy with its herby, leafy flavor. It might have just been the brand I selected, but it wasn’t good. I have however tried the new Truvia brand of sweetener which is made from the same plant. That is much better!
Have you ever used Stevia as a natural sweetner? It comes in liquid form mostly..but can be bought in individual packets as well. Try your local Whole Foods or any health store. It’s what my mom uses..as she is diabetic.
This looks yummy!!!!
Congrats on your weight loss.
yeah im on atkins diet too right now.. ive lost 30 pounds so far since august 1st
haha ahhhh i want some type of bread or cake type food soooo bad.
Thanks for watching as always, Jimmy!
Thanks Brian for sharing another low carb pancake recipe. Congrats on being down another pound!
That was what I so impressed with — others I had tried were so heavy or didn’t have the same texture as pancakes — either too runny like crepes or were more like biscuits.
I bought it off Ebay. If you don’t feel comfortable buying from Ebay, you can also google sweetzfree. Look for the liquid Splenda that is one drop equal to 1.5 tsp of granulated sweetener.
Low-carb almond flour pancakes… These are great!
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp low-carb sweetener
Cook them in the usual fashion. This makes three large pancakes or six smaller ones. Just know that they won’t bubble on top in the pan like “regular” pancakes do.
