Description

Imagine starting your day with a stack of vibrant, cocoa-infused pancakes, their deep hue hinting at the rich flavor within. These aren't your ordinary pancakes; they're crafted to be wonderfully light and airy, providing a satisfying base for the luscious topping. The subtle bitterness of cocoa powder dances with a gentle sweetness, creating a flavor profile that's both comforting and intriguing.

Each bite offers a delightful textural contrast, from the tender crumb of the pancake to the smooth, velvety cream cheese icing that graces the top. The cream cheese icing, with its delicate tang and creamy richness, perfectly complements the cocoa notes of the pancakes. Its smooth texture melts in your mouth, adding a touch of indulgence to this breakfast treat.

The slight coolness of the icing against the warm pancakes creates a harmonious balance that awakens the senses. To complete this brunch experience, imagine crispy strips of bacon alongside the pancakes, their salty, savory crunch providing a delightful counterpoint to the sweetness. A perfectly fried egg, with its runny yolk, adds another layer of richness and flavor, inviting you to dip your pancake and bacon into its golden goodness.

The combination of textures and tastes is a symphony for the palate, making each bite a moment of pure enjoyment. This recipe yields two servings, perfect for sharing a special breakfast or indulging in a satisfying meal for one. While you can easily prepare a single serving, consider making extra pancake batter to simplify the cooking process and ensure a consistent result.

The key to achieving a fluffy texture lies in not overmixing the batter; leaving it slightly lumpy will allow the pancakes to rise beautifully on the griddle. As you cook the pancakes, watch for bubbles to form on the surface – a telltale sign that they're ready to be flipped. Reduce the heat slightly after flipping to achieve a golden-brown finish, ensuring that the pancakes are cooked through while remaining moist and tender.

This breakfast is more than just a meal; it's an experience, a celebration of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

Instructions

    1.
    In one bowl, sift together almond flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and tapioca flour. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, liquid stevia, vanilla extract, butter extract, erythritol, and melted butter. Make sure you whisk in the melted butter last, so the heat doesn cook the eggs. Then, whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 2-3 additions, until a semi-lumpy batter comes together. You may also include red food coloring at your discretion, but it ’s not necessary and not included in the ingredients.
    2.
    Choose a non-stick or cast-iron skillet to cook the pancakes in. Melt ½ teaspoon of coconut oil in the skillet on medium heat per pancake. Once the oil is hot, pour ½ cup of batter into the skillet and let it spread into a large pancake. Let the pancake cook on one side until the batter begins to set in the middles and bubbles appear throughout. Flip the pancake over, and finish cooking on the other side. Continue cooking pancakes until all the batter is used up.
    3.
    Set all finished pancakes aside on a serving plate. To make the cream cheese icing, blend softened cream cheese and cold butter in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Use a spatula to scrape down your mixing bowl and mix the ingredients together until you have a smooth, creamy icing. Blend vanilla extract and Swerve into the icing, then serve it immediately alongside or on top of the pancakes.
    4.
    Return to the stove, and cook the bacon strips to your preferred type of doneness. Transfer the cooked bacon to a serving plate, but reserve a small amount of bacon grease in the pan. Heat the pan on your stove again, and crack the eggs into the pan. You may cook the eggs in your preferred style, but this recipe features fried eggs. Include pinches of salt and pepper to season them. Each serving of the brunch includes 1 pancake with frosting, 2 slices of bacon, and 1 egg.
