FOOD LOVERS RECIPES
This low-carb variation uses alternative ingredients to keep blood sugar spikes to a minimum.
Ingredients for the Pudding:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (e.g., Erythritol, Stevia, or Xylitol)
1 tablespoon sugar-free apricot jam
1 cup almond flour (ground almonds)
½ cup desiccated coconut
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon white or brown vinegar
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or full-cream milk
Ingredients for the Sauce:
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons granulated sweetener
¼ cup water

Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease an ovenproof dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sweetener, and jam together until creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut, and bicarbonate of soda.
Mix the melted butter, vinegar, and milk together. Alternately add the dry mixture and the milk mixture to your beaten eggs, stirring well after each addition.
Pour the batter into your greased dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
While the pudding is baking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and thoroughly combined. As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, prick holes all over the top with a fork or skewer. Pour the warm sauce evenly over the pudding, letting it soak completely.

Banting/Keto/Paleo/Low Carb en DIABEET VRIENDELIK.
Ek het die beslag dubbel aangemaak, en 8 middelslag pannekoeke uitgekry. Sommer gevul met zylitol kaneelsuiker, Bessiestroop gemaak van xylitol en bietjie fyn gaar hoender.
Wenke:
Bak teen ‘n lae hitte pan gespuit met kossproei.
Moenie die pannekoek te dun maak, en te gou probeer omkeer nie.
Indien jou deeg baie dun is, sit so 20 ml koekmeel, of meel van jou keuse by.
2 eggs
75 g cream cheese, softened
⅓ teaspoon baking powder
⅓ teaspoon vanilla
3 drops liquid sweetener OR what you have to taste

Add some butter or coconut oil to a nonstick pan and put it on medium heat. Use a silicone brush to coat the entire pan surface with it. Place the cream cheese, eggs and rest of ingredients into a bowl or blender and beat until creamy.
Allow the batter to sit for a minute or two to settle so that it cooks better.
Pour into pan, spreading it evenly.
Cover with a lid, a minute or 2 till bottom is set and the top not watery.
Carefully flip over and cook other side till freckled.
Makes one big pancake or two medium sized ones.
Serve with berries, plain double cream yoghurt, whipped cream, low carb ice cream, cinnamon or xylitol.
Enjoy!
(Ps. If your batter needs thickening, add a teaspoon or 2 of coconut flour).
