Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine can be more budget-friendly.

Mix dry ingredients: almond flour, baking powder, Splenda, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients: heavy whipping cream, Greek yogurt, and lightly beaten eggs.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of butter extract to the wet mixture.

Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; the mixture should be thick and gloppy.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted.

Add the combined batter to the skillet, dropping spoonfuls to create about four Johnny cakes.

Cook the cakes for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned on the other side.

Remove the cakes from the skillet once cooked and serve hot.
