Why You’ll Love These Pancakes
- Only 3 main ingredients
- Low-carb and keto-friendly
- Quick and easy to make
- Deliciously satisfying even if they aren’t “fluffy” like traditional pancakes
Ingredients (Makes ~10 Pancakes)
- ½ cup almond flour
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder (optional, for extra fluff)
- Butter (for frying)
Note: Baking powder does contain a small amount of cornstarch, which isn’t strictly keto. Use it if you want slightly fluffier pancakes, or skip it if you’re keeping it ultra-strict. Either way, they’re delicious!
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and let it get nice and hot.
- Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs briskly. The more air you incorporate, the fluffier your pancakes will be.
- Mix in the rest: Add the cream cheese and almond flour to the eggs. Whisk until fully combined.
- Cook the pancakes: Add a small pat of butter to your hot skillet. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook until golden on the bottom, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve and enjoy: Top with butter and sugar-free syrup, or your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
Tips & Tricks
- For a slightly fluffier texture, whisk your eggs really well or add that optional teaspoon of baking powder.
- Each pancake has about 1 net carb, making this a perfect breakfast for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet.
These pancakes cook up like classic pancakes but without the guilt. They’re perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunches, or any time you need a comforting breakfast that’s still keto-friendly.
