Valentine’s Day Low Carb Pancakes

Valentine's Day Low Carb Pancakes

What better way to start out Valentines Day than with a delicious breakfast that is also good for you. Today I will be sharing my low carb pancake recipe. I have always been a fan of pancakes so finding a low carb option that was also delicious was a must. I have been meaning to share this recipe for a while and after stumbling upon the heart shaped cookie cutters the other day, I decided that Valentine’s day would be the perfect time to share it.

Valentine's Day Low Carb Pancakes

These pancakes are super easy to make and the addition of the heart shape makes them the perfect treat to surprise you special someone on Valentine’s Day morning. You will only need 5 ingredients to make these pancakes. I found my heart shaped cookie cutters at my local Kroger on sale but they are similar to these.

Valentine's Day Low Carb Pancakes

Begin by adding 2/3 cup of egg whites, 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/8 cup of almond flour, 1/3 cup of powdered peanut butter, and 1/8 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to a blender. Mix ingredients completely. The batter will appear very watery but will thicken as you cook it. Spray a pan with nonstick spray and pour in the batter. While your pancake is cooking go ahead and turn on the broiler on the oven. Cook the pancake for about 5 minutes, the top will still look uncooked but go ahead and place under the broiler in the oven. Only leave the pancake under the broiler for a couple of minutes as it will cook very fast. Remove from the oven and unless you plan on cutting them into heart shapes they are ready to be eaten.

If you want to make your pancakes into heart shapes like I did in the above pictures simply use your cookie cutters to cut out whatever size hearts you prefer. I topped off my pancakes with Hungry Jack’s Sugar Free Syrup and a few strawberries.

Four Kiehls Products You Must Try

Four Kiehls Products You Must Try

If you are unfamiliar with the Kiehl’s brand, I will be sharing four of their products that you must give a try. I only recently started using Kiehl’s products and instantly became obsessed. My husband has been a long time fan of Kiehl’s products and he is incredibly picky about what type of products he will use(They have tons of items specifically for men). While we were shopping in Nashville a couple of months ago, we walked past a Kiehl’s store and he asked me to go in and pick out a few different products. Since I’ve heard him rave about their face wash for several years I figured why not. The challenge was narrowing down what products I wanted to get as they have so many options. After spending quite some time looking at all the different products they had in store, I finally decided on four to give a try. Below I will discuss each of the products I purchased and what my overall thoughts are on them after using them for a couple of months.

Four Kiehls Products You Must Try

I ended up purchasing the Crème De Corps, the Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser, the Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic, and the Turmeric and Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque.

Four Kiehl's Products You Must Try

  1. Crème De CorpsI had heard a lot of good things about this body lotion and wanted to give it a try. I have tried several lotions in the past but none that I really think works better than another. However, after trying this lotion I would definitely say that it is far superior to other lotions I have tried in the past. It moisturizes the skin without leaving that greasy feeling that some lotions leave behind. It also does a much better job moisturizing my skin than other products I have used. I noticed a difference after just one use. It left my skin feeling very soft. It is especially good for those people that are sensitive to fragrances because this lotion does not have a strong smell.                                                                             Four Kiehls Products You Must Try
  2. Blue Herbal Gel CleanserI have a face wash that I have used for years and that I have been very pleased with so I was reluctant to give another one a try. After using it, I am definitely glad I gave it a chance. It leaves your face feeling so refreshed. It’s an oil-free cleanser which is a plus. It also contains salicylic acid, which aids in getting rid of blemishes. It also does not dry out my skin as I have experienced with other cleansers. I highly recommend this product if you are in the market for a new face wash.Four Kiehls Products You Must Try
  3. Rare Earth Pore Refining TonicI had personally never tried a toner prior to trying the rare earth pore refining toner so I don’t have much to compare it to. I liked the idea of it helping to control surface oil and that it helps to refine your pores. You need to shake the toner prior to applying as the ingredients tend to separate. Overall I really like the product. It  produces more of a matte look and works well under make-up. I do feel that it helps reduce shine/oil throughout the day as well.Four KIehls Products You Must Try
  4. Turmeric and Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance MasqueThis is by far my favorite Kiehls purchase. I am a huge fan of face masks but this one beats them all. I was drawn to this mask because it contains turmeric, which I have recently added into several of my recipes as you may have read here or here. It also contains cranberry seeds that are excellent exfoliates as well. This mask leaves your skin glowing. The overall appearance of my skin is always improved after this mask. It is easy to apply and remove, and you only need to leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes. Your skin is left feeling so smooth and soft after removing the mask. It also has a very light scent that is pleasant without being overwhelming. I cannot recommend this mask enough.

I would love to hear what your favorite Kiehl’s products are and which you would recommend I try next.
