Keto Pancakes (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)

Nutrition (approx. per serving, 2 pancakes)

• Net carbs: ~2–3 g

• Fat: high

• Protein: moderate

Ingredients (makes about 6 small pancakes)

Dry ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour (finely ground, blanched)

• 1 tablespoon coconut flour (adds structure)

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 tablespoon keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit blend, or allulose)

• Pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)

• 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt. Break up any clumps.

2. Mix wet ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well.

3. Combine
   Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick but pourable batter forms.
   Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes — this allows the coconut flour to absorb moisture and improves texture.

4. Adjust consistency if needed

   • Too thick: add 1–2 tablespoons almond milk

   • Too thin: add 1 teaspoon almond flour

5. Cook pancakes
   Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over low to medium-low heat.
   Lightly grease with butter or oil.

   Pour about 2 tablespoons batter per pancake. Keto pancakes work best when small.

6. Flip carefully
   Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
   Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

7. Serve warm

Tips for Perfect Keto Pancakes

• Keep heat low: almond flour burns faster than regular flour.

• Make them small: large keto pancakes are harder to flip.

• Don’t skip resting the batter: it improves structure.

• If they taste eggy, add a little more vanilla or sweetener.

Optional Variations
