Luckily there are a lot of great ways to incorporate keto diet food restrictions into regular meals, simply by adding or substituting a few things.</p> <p>So when your go-to low carb breakfast of coffee and eggs won’t do the trick, and you need to eat something on the sweet side, this stack of fluffy keto friendly pancakes will be a perfect choice! Traditional pancakes are loaded with carbs that will boot you out of ketosis, but this recipe for cream cheese keto pancakes is low carb, and packs a protein punch to get your day started on the right track!</p> </section> <section> <h2>Protein Packed</p></h2> <p>Many focus on the importance of eating a low amount of carbs when on the keto diet, but a part that can sometimes be overlooked is the importance of getting sufficient protein. Protein is essential for healthy brain function, skin, bone and muscle health, and recovering after workouts.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nutrition.org.uk/nutritionscience/nutrients-food-and-ingredients/protein.html?limitstart=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1</a>} The best pancake recipes can be a great way to find that protein that you need.</p> <p>Cream cheese is rich in protein, and the little stacks of keto pancakes found in this recipe are packed with protein, from the cream cheese used, to the eggs, and even almond flour! In addition to the extra protein, using cream cheese in this keto pancake recipe will also provide extra vitamins, nutrients, and of course healthy fats to help fuel your energy throughout the day.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nutrition.org.uk/nutritionscience/nutrients-food-and-ingredients/protein.html?limitstart=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1</a>} Protein is one of the most important building blocks of your body. It provides you with essential amino acids and is required to build and maintain lean muscle mass.</p> <p>As well as these essential health benefits, eating adequate amounts of protein can help keep you full throughout the day, preventing the temptation to snack or graze in between meals. Cream cheese is also a wonderful ingredient, because it can be used in both savory and sweet keto recipes like this one! If you want an extra protein punch, you can simply switch out the almond flour and make keto protein powder pancakes.</p> </section> <section> <h2>Nutrient Rich Nuts</h2> <p>Health-wise, almond flour is a good bang for your buck and a great alternative for a ketogenic diet. This flour is high in protein with a &frac14; cup serving containing 6 grams of protein, and the best part is it’s low in carbohydrates containing only 6 grams per serving! One of the best reasons to eat almonds on a keto diet is they contain a great combo of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals.</p> <p>Almond flour has been shown to boost heart health, help keep you full on a low-calorie diet, and improve energy levels.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/food-features/almonds/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2</a>} What’s more is that, together, the nutrient and vitamin compounds contained in almond flour give your body sustained energy and help keep you feeling fuller longer.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/food-features/almonds/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2</a>} This means that the almond flour is also an important part of filling you up after breakfast, giving you plenty of energy for the day and preventing you from snacking until your next meal.</p> </section> <hr class="divider-15 divider-thick mx-auto"> <section class="recipe"> <h2 itemprop="name">Cream Cheese Keto Pancakes</h2> <p>One of the best things about these cream cheese keto pancakes is how easy they are to make.
