MIM (muffin in a minute) Pancakes

 

Just add low-carb maple syrup!

With the recommendation of another low-carber, I find our MIM (Muffin in a Minute) also makes wonderful pancakes!  They taste a lot like sweet potato pancakes to me.  This one’s OK for Induction!  I sometimes add 2 T. almond meal or 2 T. pumpkin to the mix, but those variations are not suitable for Induction and are NOT included in nutritional info below.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 c. flax meal or golden flax meal

1 tsp. butter

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 egg

1 tsp. Splenda

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

1-3 T. water (add just until the batter is consistency of pancake batter)

4 T. sugar-free maple syrup per serving (added at table)

VARIATION:  Add 2 T. canned pumpkin puree and a bit more cinnamon. 

DIRECTIONS:  Mix all ingredients but syrup in bowl.  Add a little water to thin the batter.  Spoon onto hot, greased griddle in two nice pancakes.  Using back of spoon, spread/shape pancakes as this batter is quite thick and “sticky” and doesn’t spread easily on its own.  Brown on both sides as regular pancakes.  Serve hot with butter and syrup.
