    Sorry to be a negative nancy, but I just tried these and they were a disaster. I'm still not sure how OP is getting such a low calorie count, but whatever, the ones I made are still pretty low-cal. Second, I used a hand mixer as per others' suggestions, and I still couldn't get it to a pancake batter consistency. They came out to be the thinnest "pancakes" I've ever seen, and no matter how long I cooked them, I couldn't seem to get the middle to cook all the way. Basically, they looked like pancakes, but the center was completely egg - it just tasted like an omelet, nothing like a pancake at all.

    ^Same experience, except mine didn't hold together at all and did have much more of an omelette flavor. It was totally worth a shot but I'll stick with my oatmeal-egg white base :)

    Looks Yummy! I'm going to try and make these tonight. I checked for hints on cooking these on several different low carb forums and the recipe is slightly different.

    2 oz cream cheese
    2 eggs (whites/yolks separated)
    1 packet stevia sweetener
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

    They use 2 full eggs instead of just egg whites. It seems that the trick to get the right consistancy is to beat the egg whites until peaks form. Then in a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg yolks, and sweetner until creamy. Then fold the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture. Then cook as you would regular pancakes

    It's a little more work, but you may get a better result. I'll report back once I try it.

    how can you make pancakes with out flour? I am really confused on how these will bind together and not just melt in the pan or turn into eggs....Who has actually tried these?

    Second time round I used a little less cream cheese and stopped them sticking to the pan using a smidgen of butter:

    Okay, so I made them tonight, but as savory pancakes. They came out beautifully! I used 2 eggs - separate whites from yolks. Beat whites until light and foamy. In a separate bowl I mixed the softened cream cheese and egg yolks. Then fold everything together. I added salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning. Cooked them on the griddle and sprinkled them with parsely.
