Tips for The Perfect Keto Pancakes
Use a Good Non-Stick Pan:
This makes flipping the pancakes so much easier and prevents sticking. No one likes pancakes that stick to the pan.
Use the Right Heat:
Medium heat is your friend. Cooking on medium heat ensures that your pancakes cook through without burning. High heat can cook the outside too quickly, leaving the inside raw.
Don’t Overmix:
Mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can lead to dense, heavy pancakes.
Let the Batter Rest:
Letting the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking allows the baking powder to work its magic, giving you fluffier pancakes.
Small Pancakes:
Making smaller pancakes helps them cook more evenly and makes flipping easier.
Variations to Try
Blueberry Pancakes:
Add a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes:
Sprinkle in some sugar-free chocolate chips.
Cinnamon Spice:
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter for a warm, cozy flavor.
Lemon Poppy Seed:
Add a teaspoon of lemon zest and a tablespoon of poppy seeds.
FAQs
Can I Make These Pancakes Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can make a batch and store them in the fridge for a few days.
Just reheat in the microwave or toaster.
Can I Freeze Keto Pancakes?
Yes, you can. Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then put them in a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the microwave or toaster.
What Can I Use Instead of Almond Flour?
If you’re allergic to almonds, you can use coconut flour, but you’ll need less since it’s more absorbent. Try 1/3 cup of coconut flour instead of almond flour.
