Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour (finely ground and blanched is best)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit allulose blend (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Wet Ingredients:
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other keto milk; use more if needed)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or any light oil that stays liquid at room temperature)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
How To Make Low Carb Pancakes
- Mix the Batter: Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything together until smooth. The batter should look like regular pancake batter. If it feels too thick, add a little more almond milk, but not too much.
- Heat the Pan: Put a large non-stick skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low or medium. Lightly oil the pan.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour the batter into the hot pan to make small circles. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes until you see bubbles on the edges.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Take off the lid, flip the pancakes, and cook for another 1.5 to 2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
- Repeat: Continue until all the batter is used.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a Lid: Covering the pan helps the pancakes set properly, so they’re easier to flip.
- Watch Your Batter: If it’s too thick, just add a splash of milk. Don’t make it too runny.
- Light Oil Layer: Too much oil can cause uneven browning. Wipe off extra oil with a paper towel.
- Right Temperature: Keep the heat medium or a little lower. If the pancakes brown too fast, lower the heat.
- Good Tools Help: A thin spatula makes flipping much easier.
Notes
- Make Ahead Batter: Mix the batter ahead of time, but wait to add baking powder until you’re ready to cook.
- Storing Cooked Pancakes: Keep in the fridge in an airtight box for 5–7 days.
- Freezing Option: Freeze pancakes in a single layer. Once solid, transfer to a bag and freeze for 3–6 months.
- Reheat Method: Warm in the oven at 350°F with a little butter or microwave for 30 seconds.
