Ingredients:

For the Blintz Batter:

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp. powdered erythritol
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For Cooking:

• Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine all the blintz batter ingredients and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
4. Pour a small amount of the blintz batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, crepe-like layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.
5. Carefully flip the blintz and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center of each blintz, then fold the sides over to encase the filling.
7. Return the blintzes to the skillet to lightly brown and warm the filling.
8. Serve the blintzes warm, optionally topped with additional powdered erythritol or keto-friendly fruit.

Note: Experiment with different fillings like berries or keto-friendly jams for variety.
