If you’ve been missing pancakes on the Keto diet, you don’t have to anymore. You can enjoy these delicious, easy to make Almond Flour Pancakes with this simple Keto recipe.
The Keto way of living has just become a way of life for my husband and I. We’ve been going at it for 7 months now, so we pretty much have it down. Or at least we like to think we do!
But when your kids ask for pancakes, and you know you can’t eat their kind of pancakes, you find a way to make some pancakes you can eat. These Keto pancakes aren’t just like regular pancakes, but when you can’t eat regular pancakes, these hit the spot.
Almond Flour Pancakes
Unlike traditional pancakes made with all-purpose flour, these Keto pancakes are made using super fine almond flour. You can find almond flour pretty much every where now.
Just like you would imagine from its name, almond flour is made of ground up almonds. Although almond flour is not completely carb-free, it’s lower in carbs making it a great option for the Keto diet.
Almond Flour, or sometimes referred to as almond meal, is a grain free, low-carb flour that is wonderful for baking. It’s also good for those following a gluten free, wheat free, grain free, or dairy free diet. I’ve found that it can easily be substituted for regular flour in many recipes.
Keto Pancakes
Because these Keto Pancakes are made with almond flour, they are awesome if you’re following a low-carb lifestyle. They’re not completely carb free, but you can enjoy two of them for only five carbs.
Since most of us on Keto try to keep our carbs under 20 a day, even with eating two pancakes, you have plenty of room left in the day to enjoy some green veggies and meats.
Sugar-Free Syrups
Depending on how you count sugar alcohols in your macros, you can usually find a good sugar-free syrup for only one net carb per 1/4 cup. I don’t dare use that much syrup, but if you’re feeling overindulgent, you can still enjoy almond flour pancakes and sugar-free syrup without breaking your carb budget for the day.
The sugar-free syrup I use most often is Cary’s Sugar-Free Syrup. I either pick mine up at my local Kroger store or order it from Amazon if I can’t make it into the store.
Optional Add-ins
I thoroughly enjoy these almond flour pancakes as is, but sometimes I like to spice things up a little bit. I’ve been to known to add in a handful of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips – oh my gosh, y’all – so good! I’ve also added in some fresh blueberries at times. You could also slice up a strawberry and put some sugar-free whipped topping on top – yum!
To keep these Almond Flour Pancakes low-carb, just be mindful of what you add to the Keto Almond Flour Pancake batter.
