Secret to Success: Ditch the Cream Cheese!
Many keto pancake recipes use cream cheese, which can leave them feeling heavy and rubbery. We use almond flour instead, resulting in the perfect fluffy texture.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Almond flour: The base for our fluffy pancakes.
- Avocado or coconut oil: Adds healthy fats and keeps them moist.
- Eggs: Binds everything together and adds protein.
- Melted butter: For extra richness and flavor.
- Vanilla extract: A touch of sweetness and warmth.
- Baking powder: Helps the pancakes rise beautifully.
- Sweetener of your choice: Choose your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
- Salt: A pinch to enhance the flavor.
Pro Tips for the Best Keto Pancakes:
- Blend it smooth: Use a blender or food processor for a lump-free batter.
- Thick is the way to go: Aim for a batter consistency similar to brownie batter. If it’s too thick, add a little water, but be careful not to make it runny.
- Flipping finesse: Since these are gluten-free, they won’t bubble as much. Look for set edges and a spatula that glides underneath easily before flipping.
Enjoy & Customize!
