In just 10 minutes of prep and 15-20 minutes of cooking, whip up a batter that’s not only creamy but also packed with health benefits. We blend cream cheese, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create a smooth concoction that’s easy on the palate and a joy to cook.
Opting for a cast iron griddle or skillet not only adds a rustic charm to your kitchen but also makes cooking a breeze. The thin batter ensures lighter pancakes, giving you a satisfying breakfast without the guilt. Careful flipping and browning ensure a beautiful presentation without compromising on health.
Healthy Sugar-Free Pancakes are a Thing!
Fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries not only add a burst of natural sweetness but also bring a plethora of health benefits. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, these berries are a delicious way to start your day on a nutritious note. For those watching their sugar intake, a sprinkle of powdered monk fruit adds sweetness without the extra calories.
As you plate up, envision a colorful masterpiece – golden pancakes crowned with a vibrant mix of berries. A drizzle of real maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness without tipping the scales. This breakfast isn’t just a treat for your taste buds; it’s a nourishing start that keeps you energized throughout the day.

Cream Cheese Pancakes with Fresh Berries

minutes20
minutesIngredients
8 oz. cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
6 large eggs
½ t. ground cinnamon
1 t. real vanilla extract
3 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 c. fresh blueberries
1 c. fresh strawberries, sliced
2 T. powdered monk fruit (optional)
Real maple syrup, to serve
Directions
- Add cream cheese, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender. Cover and blend on high until completely smooth.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add ½ tablespoon olive oil to griddle and spread around with a rubber spatula.
- Pour 3 small pancakes onto the griddle (approximately 2-3 tablespoons each), leaving enough space in between so they don’t run together. Cook until the edges just begin to turn brown and the pancakes are set, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip each pancake and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes or just until golden brown on the bottom. Transfer cooked pancakes to a platter and keep warm. Repeat this process with remaining olive oil until all batter is cooked.
- To serve, divide the pancakes among individual serving plates and top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of powdered monk fruit, if desired, and some real maple syrup. Enjoy!
