Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 8 small pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or coconut oil, for greasing the pan
Optional Toppings
- Butter
- Sugar-free maple syrup
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries (in moderation)
- Whipped heavy cream
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, powdered sweetener, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the moisture and slightly thicken the mixture.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles begin to form and the edges look set.
Carefully flip the pancake with a thin spatula and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Repeat
Continue cooking the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 7: Serve
Stack the pancakes on a warm plate and top with butter, sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or a handful of fresh berries. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Tips for the Best Keto Pancakes
- Cook over medium-low heat to prevent burning while allowing the inside to cook completely.
- Letting the batter rest helps create a fluffier texture.
- Avoid flipping the pancakes too early—wait until the edges are set.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cooked pancakes for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick keto breakfast.
