Keto Pancakes

Go to any diner, and you’ll see people eating stacks of pancakes, usually served with lashings of maple syrup, fruit, and maybe some ice cream. Pancakes make for a filling breakfast, a tasty snack, and a delicious dessert.

Sadly, they’re also very high in carbs and have no real place on the low-carb ketogenic diet. Sure, you could have about half a small pancake without derailing your diet, but who wants to do that? And what would you do with the half you don’t eat – throw it away? What a waste.

Thankfully, you can make pancakes that are 100% keto-friendly, and providing you don’t go overboard on the toppings, they won’t kick you out of ketosis or otherwise derail your diet.

The next time you are craving carbs, remember this recipe and treat yourself!

Keto Pancakes

Ingredients For Two Servings

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
• 2/3 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon stevia sweetener

Instructions

1. Starting with the ingredients at the top of the list, add them to your blender and blitz to make your pancake batter. Scrape down the sides of the blender and blitz again to make sure you’ve got all the mixture.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease with a little butter.
3. Pour one-sixth (3-4 tablespoons) of the batter into the pan and cook. Flip when you see bubbles starting to form.
4. Continue until you have a stack of six pancakes.

Bottom Line

Whether it’s an indulgent weekend breakfast or a quick but tasty dessert, pancakes are tough to beat. However, most pancakes are so high in carbs that they’re entirely off the keto menu.

These keto-friendly pancakes are very easy to make, taste great, and won’t ruin your diet. Instead of lots of carbs, they’re loaded with fiber, protein, and fat – everything you need on keto.

You can also batch-cook these pancakes and then reheat them in the microwave. Keep some in your freezer for any unexpected pancake emergencies!

Don’t let keto become just another bland diet. Keep it interesting and enjoyable with keto-friendly versions of your favorite foods. The ketogenic diet does not have to be painful, dull, or restrictive.
