Low Carb Pancakes

Low Carb Pancakes recipe. These easy to make keto pancakes are made with cream cheese, eggs and coconut flour.  Make them for a healthy breakfast meal! 

Low Carb Keto Pancakes

If you’re looking for a keto pancakes recipe- this is it!  If you’re craving pancakes, but need something more friendly to your low carb diet, you’re really going to like them.

These pancakes are fluffy  (just like my no butter pancakes!) thanks to the cream cheese, and won’t leave you feeling hungry afterwards (thanks eggs!).   Whenever I eat these I can pretty much make it to lunch without snacking as they fill me up!

Easy Ingredients You Need

Here’s everything you need to make these pancakes:

1. 5 eggs
2. 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
3. 2 teaspoons coconut flour
4. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla
6. syrup (optional, on top)

Coconut Flour Pancakes

We are using coconut flour as a low carb flour for these pancakes. The coconut flour helps give them a naturally slightly sweet taste, without the addition of sugar! Coconut flour is a great low carb flour because most of the carbohydrates in it is fiber, so it has little to no effect on blood sugar. I love using coconut flour if I’m baking low carb!

Alternatively, if you only have almond flour, you could use it in place of the coconut flour. That will work too!

Step by Step Directions

You’ll want to spray a griddle or a pan with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat. You don’t want to cook them higher than medium heat as they can burn quickly.

Once the pan is heated, pour the batter into small pancake shapes. Cook for a few minutes. Once you see bubbles, it’s time to flip over and cook the other side. Cook the other side until slightly browned. This takes about 7-10 minutes total. These pancakes are on the fragile side, so be careful (!) when flipping them. To be extra safe I recommend using 2 spatulas to help support them while flipping.

Best Low Carb Syrup

There are so many great options for toppings for these pancakes!   ChocZero is my favorite sugar free, low carb maple syrup. It doesn’t have sugar or sugar alcohols, instead they use monk fruit! It only has 2g net carbs a serving.

Want to turn these into Low Carb Waffles?

Want to turn these pancakes into Low Carb Waffles?  Awesome! You can do that!

Make them as instructed in the recipe, and then cook in a waffle maker, about 3-5 minutes, depending on your machine’s instructions.

How to Freeze Pancakes

Here’s what I recommend – you make 2 batches of these pancakes!  One to eat with your family (this recipe makes enough for 3 people), and one to freeze for later on.    This way, when Wednesday hits and you don’t want to get out of bed, so you definitely don’t want to make breakfast, you have these yummy pancakes waiting for you in the freezer!

I put the pancakes in a freezer bag and into the freezer they go. When I’m hungry, I’ll pull a couple out of the bag and throw them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.  And just like you have a delicious keto breakfast waiting for you!

I hope you like these Low Carb Pancakes!  Enjoy!
