Ingredients
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg, almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
- Step 2: Blend all ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: Heat the unsalted butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat until melted and hot.

Tips & Variations
- For a fluffier texture, separate the egg and beat the white until stiff peaks form before folding it into the batter.
- Substitute almond flour with coconut flour for a slightly different flavor, but use less as it absorbs more moisture.
- Add cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage
Store leftover blintzes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan over low heat or in a microwave to avoid drying them out.

Ingredients
Blintz Batter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg, almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, lump-free batter with a creamy consistency suitable for pouring.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Blintzes: Pour small amounts of batter into the pan, spreading it gently if needed to form thin, round blintz shapes. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the edges start to lift, then carefully flip to cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the blintzes from the pan and serve immediately while warm. Add your favorite low-carb toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet and melted butter to ensure easy flipping and prevent sticking.
- Choose a keto-friendly sweetener to keep the recipe low-carb.
- The batter should be smooth but slightly thick; add a tiny splash of unsweetened almond milk if necessary to adjust consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, or keep warm in a low oven.
- Blintzes can be customized with fillings such as ricotta or berries if desired.
