Black forest pancakes that are made with cream cheese and a touch of flaxseed. Delicious for breakfast, brunch, dessert or a general pick me up!
I've just added a couple of of items to the cream cheese pancake to make a Black Forest version for a healthy but decadent dessert. Or breakfast if you wish. This is good for gluten free and low carbers too. I made these pancakes mini ones as the mixture can yield a delicate pancake. So only dropped a teaspoon of mixture into the hot pan.
