Ingredients

PANCAKE BATTER

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 2 tbsp zero calorie powdered sugar (confectioners swerve)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup Cinnamon Roll Super Coffee
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• A little bit of coconut oil, for the pan

CINNAMON SWIRL

• 1-2 tbsp coconut butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp Sweet Cream Super Creamer or 1 tsp almond milk mixed with 1/2 tsp stevia 

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp zero calorie powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp Sweet Cream Super Creamer or 1 tbsp almond milk mixed with 1 tsp stevia
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients for the pancake batter in a blender.
2. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl. Place the cinnamon roll swirl mix into a small baggie and snip off the corner with scissors once ready to use. 
3. Melt a little bit of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, enough to lightly cover the pan. 
4. Drop 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the pan. Add the cinnamon swirl.
5. Turn the pancake over once the top starts to firm and bubble, roughly 2 minutes. Cook the side with the swirl for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat until the batter is gone.
6. To make the cream cheese frosting, mix the cream cheese, zero calorie sweetener, liquid of choice, and vanilla extract. Set aside. 
7. Plate the pancakes and drizzle the cream cheese glaze on top. Enjoy!
