My craving for pancakes; got me experimenting with a few pancake recipe ideas & ingredients! My motive was to create the perfect golden brown, mildly sweet, fluffy pancakes to fit into my Keto meal plan.
I drew inspiration from Melissa Sevigny’s- “Cream Cheese and Egg Pancake” recipe. The replica of the recipe seemed to have an eggy flavor and crepe-like texture. Therefore, for my ketones weight loss pancake recipe, I gave it my twist and infused some additional ingredients. Finally, the result was more like classic pancakes.
