Notes:
This is a great low carb, sugar-free, diabetic safe recipe.  I’ve had this a while and I got it from another person on this site.  I modified this one by basically using an egg white and imitation vanilla.  I also recalculated the nutrition information to match what I put in this recipe.  It is really pretty good and I was so shocked.  I will be eating this again and again.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 egg white
2 Tblsp. Whole Ricotta Cheese (or you can use cream cheese)
1 tsp. imitation vanilla extract
1 pkt. Splenda
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk ingredients until well blended. Pour into a heated, greased skillet (or use griddle) and cook. Like pancakes, wait for first side to bubble in middle and then flip and cook other side. Serve with butter or sugar-free syrup.
