How to Make Low Carb Keto Pancakes
Start by separating the eggs and add the egg white to a large bowl and using a hand whisk or electric mixer beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Measure out all the dry pancake ingredients into another bowl and mix together until they are combined.
Add the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of water to a bowl and mix well until it’s fully combined.
then add the dry ingredients and mix again until you get a pancake batter. If the batter is too thick you can add a little more water, take care not to make it too runny or the pancakes will be very flat and it will dilute the flavors.
Cook the pancakes in a lightly oiled cast iron skillet for a couple of minutes on a low to medium heat, do not have it too hot or the pancakes will burn before they are fully cooked. If you use a 1/4 cup measure you should get about 12 pancakes.
Pancake Ingredient Notes
Almond Flour – I have not made these with any other sort of flour, while coconut flour might work it generally needs a lot more liquid and probably more eggs.
Eggs – I don’t think these will work well with an egg substitute due to the amount of eggs in this recipe.
Low Carb Sweetener – I used Lakanto Monkfruit Golden blend, I don’t think it has the cooling taste that you sometimes get with erythritol sweeteners. You can use whatever sweetener you prefer but your results may vary from mine.
Low Carb Pancake Syrup – I used Lakanto syrup, there are a few other brands available now but I’ve not tried them all.
Baking Powder – Make sure it’s fresh, if your baking powder is old your pancakes may not rise well.
Can I freeze Keto Pancakes?
Yes you can, they will keep in a ziplock type bag and they defrost pretty quickly.
Can I make them ahead of time?
You can make the pancakes ahead and you can eat them cold or reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave.
