    These almond flour pancakes are perfectly soft and fluffy with a delicious flavor. They are so easy to make, and these delicious pancakes have just over 1 net carb! But you'd never know it since these pancakes with almond flour taste just like traditional pancakes.

    Keto Pancakes! Low Carb Almond Flour Pancake Recipe

    The Best Almond Flour Pancakes

    Pancakes are probably my favorite breakfast food. I mean, I'm even the kind of person who eats pancakes for dinner. And that's just not a once in a while kind of thing, that's like, a-lot-of-the-time kind of thing.

    But unfortunately, regular pancakes are typically high in carbs and filled with other unnecessary ingredients. So I had to create this almond flour pancakes recipe! 

    And I know I'm biased, but I think these are the best almond flour pancakes ever created. They're straight fire. These easy almond flour pancakes are wonderfully soft and fluffy, with a slightly crisp surface and delicious flavor. 

    Typically almond flour pancakes are dry, but these fluffy almond flour pancakes are soft, moist, and just so good.

    But the best part is this is a gluten free recipe that is also super low carb and keto friendly. And when I say super low carb, I mean just over 1 NET CARB per pancake!

    Now, since I love pancakes so much, I have a bunch of pancake recipes on the blog like these keto pancakes, banana pancakes, and cream cheese pancakes. So you'll want to check out those next!

    Easy Keto Pancakes

    Ingredients

    Another thing I love about this almond flour pancake recipe is it uses super simple ingredients to make the almond flour pancake batter.

    It even uses some ingredients that are in typical pancake batter! 

    Check out everything you'll need:

    • ⅔ Cup Blanched Almond Flour
    • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
    • ½ Tsp Cinnamon
    • ½ tablespoon Confectioners Erythritol 
    • 4 Tbsps Full-Fat Sour Cream
    • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
    • 1 Tbsps Sugar Free Maple Syrup
    • 2 Eggs

    See, pretty simple. And you can use many of these same ingredients to make my low carb waffles, so you'll want to check those out next!

    Now, I love topping my almond flour pancakes with a slab of butter and some pure maple syrup. And to keep this recipe low carb and sugar free, I highly suggest making my 0 carb maple syrup recipe. 

    But you could also add sugar free chocolate chips to the pancake batter, or top these almond flour pancakes with fresh fruit for a healthy start to your day! Or you can put almond butter on top for the ultimate almond pancakes.

    How to make Almond flour pancakes

    Now, as I mentioned, these almond flour pancakes are super easy to make! 

    Seriously, even if you've never made pancakes before, you'll find them to be simple.

    So let's not waste any more time and make this almond flour pancake recipe!

    Step 1: Making The Pancake Batter

    To make the pancake batter, add the eggs, sour cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl or blender. 

    Then add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and confectioners erythritol.

    Now blend or mix the ingredients for a minute or so until everything combines. To make fluffier and thicker pancakes, you'll want to blend the ingredients in a blender until you have a smooth batter consistency.

    Step 2: Cooking The Pancakes

    Now that you have a pancake batter, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and coat the surface with baking spray.

    Then pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until bubbles start to form on the top. 

    Once they do, flip the pancake and cook on the other side for about 1-2 minutes or until the almond flour pancakes darken.

    Cook about 4 more pancakes with the remaining batter the same as above, and when they're all done, top with maple syrup or whatever you want, and enjoy!

    The BEST Keto Pancakes using almond flour! This easy low carb Pancake recipe is made with eggs, cottage cheese, and of course almond flour, but tastes like a fluffy pancake you'd get at IHOP

    How To Store Pancakes

    So, as I just mentioned, this recipe will make 4 pancakes. And if you have any leftover, they're actually really tasty the next few days.

    You can either wrap the pancakes in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the fridge for about a week.

    And if you want, you can transfer the leftover pancakes to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and freeze them for about 3 months.

    Then to reheat, either place in the microwave for a few seconds until warm or in the toaster oven.

    Wrapping It All Up

    That is how to make almond flour pancakes! 

    This is one of the most delicious recipes you can make for a healthy breakfast that is low carb and gluten free.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    ⅔ cup (70g) Kirkland's Blanched Almond Flour

    1 Tsp Baking Powder

    ½ Tsp Cinnamon

    ½ Tbsp (6g) Confectioners Erythritol (0 Carb Sweetener)

    4. *NOTE: It's up to you how large you make your pancakes, but this recipe will make 4 "normal" sized pancakes.

      Hey Joe, can the sour cream be substituted with Greek yogurt?

      You are a genius! These are amazing pancakes, my search for the best recipe for my keto diet and my diabetic husband is over! I made a few changes because almond flour isn't readily available in England and where it is available the price is ridiculous. That means I use ground almonds (or almond meal) for all my keto recipes. With that in mind I always whisk the eggs first in pancake recipes to get a better texture. Sugar free syrup substitutes aren't an option because sucralose and maltitol spike my husband's blood sugars, so I swapped that for a tablespoon of xylitol - because unlike me hubby has a sweet tooth! I also added finely chopped lindt 90% on top of them once I'd poured in pan. End result was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

      I still use this recipe every week, as well as being an awesome pancake recipe it's very versatile. After buying a small 2 section omelette maker that can be used for pancakes, pizza wraps etc, I decided to try the mix out in that. If you fill the section well you end up with cake! You can even make liquid centre cakes but haven't tried it with this recipe yet. Hubby loves chocolate cake so I tried adding 85% chocolate to the blender and the result was a big hit. I used 25g to a double batch and it's just enough of a hint for me. I'm going to try it with the mini doughnut plates on my waffle maker next.

      I've also used the banana walnut muffin recipe in the omelette maker. The walnut oils mean it's a more moist result but it's great for making a quick layer cake! Not something I'd do often but my husband has a really sweet tooth so layered with some butter icing he was over the moon. Way too sweet for me, happy with those just the way they are!
