Flourless cinnamon Egg Fast pancakes recipe
Article Index
  • Recipe

My five day Egg Fast has ended and I've decided to continue on an alternating day Egg Fast. I lost a total of four pounds during the fast, but gained almost one pound back after the first day of low carb high fat eating.

Although weight gain is to be expected following the fast, it was a little discouraging. So, I will continue the Egg Fast every other day and try to keep my carbs below 20 grams on the alternating days.

I wish I had taken my measurements during the Egg Fast so I could see those results as well as the weight loss. I know that I did slim down in the waist and hips because my pants are no longer tight in those areas.

These flourless cinnamon Egg Fast pancakes are the result of a microwave cake I was working on during my egg fast last week. On my third try, I decided to add psyllium husks to the batter and the cake puffed incredibly high in the microwave.

The taste of the cake was more like a pancake so on my next try, I poured small amounts of the batter onto a griddle to see if it would form into pancakes. The result? Egg Fast approved pancakes!

Since I provided what I ate on the first four days of the Egg Fast in my last two posts, I'll give what I ate on the last day here.

Day 5
Breakfast: 3 eggs, Bulletproof coffee (BPC)
Morning Snack: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 organic string cheese
Lunch: egg salad with Egg Fast mayo, 3 meringue cookies
Snack: 1 hard boiled egg
Dinner: 3 egg omelette with cheese, BPC, Microwave egg cake (2 oz cream cheese, 2 eggs, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon)

The chart below shows how my weight changed during the week of the low carb keto Egg Fast:

5 day Egg Fast weight results

The weights were taken first thing in the morning with light clothing before eating or drinking. The 5 day Egg Fast started on 4/20/2015 with the last day being 4/24/2015.

Since I'm not a very big person, it's pretty incredible that I lost 4 pounds in only five days. I'd like to get closer to 120 pounds since that's the weight I feel my best.

I'm 5'3" with a small frame, so the ideal weight range for me is 111-124 pounds. After the Egg Fast, my weight is right on the border of the high end which means I can stand to lose a few more pounds.

Did I mention that I just turned 45 on my birthday this month and as some of you older folks know, it does get harder to lose weight as you age. After the egg fast, I gained 0.8 pounds the first day on LCHF, but I lost that weight on the next day which was an egg fast day.

I'll continue to alternate egg fast and LCHF days to see if I can lose additional weight. If not, I'll go back to egg fasting each day.

egg fast cinnamon pancake batter in blender

If you are on a low carb keto diet or doing an Egg Fast to lose weight, you are going to love this recipe because it's so easy to put together. You simply blend the ingredients up in a blender to make the batter. Then, fry them on a griddle in small amounts.

I got 9 small pancakes from the recipe, but you can make larger size pancakes if you prefer. If you are on an egg fast, you'll want to serve these pancakes with a side of eggs made up of the extra egg yolk and one or two additional eggs cooked in fat in order to get the proper egg to fat ratio.

Now I'm not the first person to come up with egg fast pancakes. There are two other great pancakes recipes that I know of that can be incorporated into your egg fast meal plan.]

Susie T. Gibbs has a delicious recipe for Psylli Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Salted Caramel Syrup over on her blog Fluffy Chix Cook. And, the very talented Mellissa Sevigny shows us how to make Snickerdoodle Crepes on her I Breathe I'm Hungry blog. This pancake recipe was inspired by both of these well known egg fast pancake recipes.

These Egg Fast pancakes are a nice change from all the eggy meals you eat on an egg fast. It's also a recipe you can enjoy while on a regular low carb high fat diet. However, I prefer keto pancakes with coconut flour because they are much fluffier.

If you are a busy person, you can make these in large batches and freeze the excess in individual servings. No time to cook on a griddle? No problem! I originally cooked the batter in the microwave and it was pretty tasty so you can micro-cook them if you wish.

And if you're more of a waffle person, you must try a basic keto chaffle!

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 egg white room temperature (see Note)
  • ½ teaspoon whole psyllium husks
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 10 drops SweetLeaf stevia drops
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small blender or use immersion blender (I used a NutriBullet blender).
  • Pour in desired size amounts on hot griddle (350-375°F).
  • Flip once browned on bottom.
  • Remove pancakes from griddle once both sides have browned.

Notes

If on an egg fast, you'll want to eat these with the leftover egg yolk to keep the proper egg to fat ratio. I recommend eating with a side of fried eggs made from the leftover yolk and one or two additional eggs cooked in fat.
Batter can be cooked in the microwave if desired.

    Very, very tasty. I did not use psyllium husk b/c I don’t have it. I suspect my pancakes may have been a tad more crepe-like because of the omission, but they were still a great treat! I simply fried the “leftover” yolk and ate it alongside my pancakes. For my palette, there’s something magic about the cream cheese and cinnamon that takes away the eggy-ness. On an everyday keto diet, I love eggs, but on the egg fast, it’s great to have at least one meal a day that doesn’t taste particularly eggy. Not to mention, this one has a pleasant sweetness as well! It’s a keeper.

      It's just regular brewed coffee with high fat ingredients added in like butter, MCT oil, and or coconut oil. I like to make mine with 1 tablespoon of MCT oil and 1 tablespoon of butter flavored coconut oil.

    Are psyllium husks allowed on an egg fast? I thought it was eggs, fat, and cheese only. Please explain. Thanks!

      Psyllium husks are allowed on an egg fast as long as only a small amount is used and carbs per serving are minimal.

    I am new to the low carb etc etc. What about some kind of custard with the other required eggs? I am looking for things I can somewhat easily eat in the car on the way to work. I already get up just before 5 so I can ride my recumbent bike before I have to run out of the house at 6:30a. What would you suggest? and of course how would one make it. LOL

      I was actually going to try making egg fat bombs that were portable. The egg fast cloud breads are good for eating in the car and you can make them into egg sandwiches. You do need to add 1/2 tablespoon butter or other fat for each bread to get the fat required. So, maybe a butter sandwich to go?

      You can leave them out and add a bit of coconut flour.

      You can do that or use another cheese. However, if using something like margarine or lard, the batter may be too thin.

        Sorry, never use margarine. It is a fat made in a laboratory & not recognised by the human body.
        Therefore causes only damage in my view. Butter is better, or if taking oils then virgin oils ??
