Easy Low Carb Keto Pancakes
The perfect way to start the day out right with a great tasting breakfast.
Thankfully, these pancakes taste pretty good as well.
This recipe is both friendly to the keto diet and the low carb diet.
However, because we are using almond flour, this recipe is also friendly to the gluten free diet.
Also, using additional substitutes will also make this friendly to a vegan diet.
I must say that gluten free and low carbohydrate pancakes are among the most requested breakfast choices requested in my restaurant.
Thankfully, there are options for pancakes that do not have gluten or a lot of carbohydrates in them.
I like when they do not have a lot of sugar added to them as well.
I must also confess that I often like to make anything that seems easy to make.
While there is something to be said for taking your time to make something exquisite for your palette, sometimes you just need to satisfy a hunger pain or two. As a result, quick and easy pancakes can save the day especially when you are dealing with a ‘hangry’ crowd!
I mentioned that this is one of those great tasting almond flour recipes.
Almond flour is basically made from ground up almonds. However, these ground up almond make for a great alternative to wheat flour in many common recipes.
There is also something to be said about almond flour nutrition.
This Almond Flour is tested Gluten Free. It fits the Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo lifestyle and is certified Kosher Pareve.
Also, it is an Excellent source of Vitamin E and magnesium; Good source of dietary fiber.
I also mentioned that we can make this pancake recipe vegan too.
Using an almond flour that is vegan is one great substitute that we are all ready using to make these pancakes. However, you can also use a vegan egg substitute as well as a nut milk such as almond milk.
I like that we will still get to make these pancakes fluffy despite the lack of gluten from the flour.
Pancakes get fluffy thanks to the air that gets into them when we mix them up. Certainly, gluten can help hold on to the air in pancakes. However, we will be using baking powder to help us make our pancakes airy and fluffy!
Perhaps the biggest question is how to serve your pancakes.
Sugar free pancake syrup is very popular at my restaurant. Having said that I must confess that I am also a fan of fresh fruit and perhaps some whipped cream or sugar free powdered sugar on top.

- Oil, butter, or what you usually use to pre-treat your griddle for nonstick.

- Baking Powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons. You can find vegan and gluten free baking powders here.

How to make Easy Low Carb Keto Pancakes
- Preheat your griddle or skillet on medium heat after prepping it for nonstick using your preferred method.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder,salt and granular sugar alternative. Set this aside for a moment while you work.
- Now in another bowl, beat or whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Combine together the ingredients in either of the bowls and mix until smooth (chunk free) without over mixing.
- Use a large spoon or similar sized object to drop spoonfuls (depending on your preferred pancake size of course) of batter on to the skillet/griddle. When the edges begin to brown flip the pancakes over and continue to cook until done. Serve warm.
