  2 scoop (30g) or 60g

• Almond Flour

  Trader Joe's - "Just Almond Meal"

  ⅓ cup or 40g

• Baking powder

  Leavening agents, low-sodium

  2 tsp or 10g

• Cinnamon

  Spices, ground

  ¼ tsp or 0.6g

• Salt

  Table

  1 dash or 0.4g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  2 large or 100g

• Cream cheese

  Low fat

  2 tbsp or 30g

• Flaxseed oil

  4 tbsp or 54g

• Vanilla extract

  ½ tsp or 2g

• Pam cooking spray

  Oil, original

  1 spray , about 1/3 second or 0.3g

Directions

1. Whisk the protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the softened cream cheese until mostly smooth. Add the flaxseed oil and vanilla; whisk until fully combined.
3. Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a smooth, thick batter forms. Let it rest 1–2 minutes to hydrate.
4. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low until hot.
5. Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and gently spread to a 4 1/2-inch circle.
6. Cook until bubbles appear and the top looks set at the edges, then flip and cook until the second side is golden and the center is just set. Adjust heat as needed to prevent over-browning.
7. Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm.
