Low-Carb Pancakes (Wheat Gluten)

(1 serving)

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 and 1/2 Tablespoons wheat gluten
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon splenda or 1 packet other sugar substitute
Very easy... just mix together all the ingredients with a whisk - batter might be a bit runny. Cook on a lightly greased skillet as you would any pancake recipe. Drop batter on surface by large spoonfuls. Cook until each side is lightly browned.

Serve with butter and a low-carb store bought syrup. Or for an interesting low-carb topping, mix 1 Tablespoon of sugar-free jam with 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons water and microwave for 45 seconds.
