Keto Pancake Ingredients & Substitutions

Dry Ingredients:
Almond flour – Gives a fluffy, soft base. Use finely ground for best results.
Coconut flour – Adds structure and absorbs moisture for a balanced texture.
Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – Gives subtle sweetness and moisture without any sugar or aftertaste.
Baking powder – Adds lift and fluff.
Salt – Balances all the flavors.

Wet Ingredients:
Eggs – Provide structure and hold everything together.
Unsweetened almond milk – Or any keto-friendly milk, like coconut or macadamia.
Avocado oil – Adds richness and helps fry to golden perfection.
Vanilla extract – Optional, but enhances flavor beautifully.

Substitution Options:
No almond flour? Use one of my alternate recipes for keto pancakes with coconut flour only.
No coconut flour? Try my keto pancakes with almond flour only — just as delicious, with a slightly nuttier texture.
Shortcut idea: Use a store-bought keto pancake mix, just add the eggs, oil, and milk to save time.

How To Make Keto Pancakes That Turn Out Perfectly Every Time

Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. You can also blend them in a blender for extra fluffiness.
Preheat a non-stick skillet and lightly grease it with avocado oil.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake, forming circles.
Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form on top.
Flip carefully using a thin turner and cook the other side, uncovered, until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.

My Tried-and-True Tips for the Best Keto Pancakes

Cover the pan while cooking the first side – This helps the tops set for an easier flip.
Batter should be slightly thick but pourable – Add more almond milk if needed.
Use a non-stick skillet, not a griddle – Unless you can cover the pancakes, they may not cook evenly.
Flip with a thin, flexible spatula – It makes flipping easier and keeps pancakes intact.
Avoid using too much oil – A small amount creates even browning; too much causes spotty cooking.
Control your heat – Keep it on medium-low to prevent over-browning before the centers are fully cooked.

Make Ahead, Store & Freeze Instructions
Make-ahead batter: Mix everything except baking powder ahead of time. Stir in baking powder just before cooking.
Refrigerate cooked pancakes: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5–7 days.
Freeze: Place cooled pancakes in a single layer on a sheet pan, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip bag. Reheat in the oven or toaster for best texture.

Topping Ideas That Keep It Keto
Sugar-free maple syrup – Try my homemade keto syrup or any bottled one made with natural sweeteners.
Butter – Always a classic!
Whipped cream – Use a sugar-free version for something light and creamy.
Fresh berries – Blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries are low in carbs and add natural sweetness.
Chopped nuts – Almonds, walnuts, or pecans add crunch and healthy fats.
Sugar-free chocolate chips – For a sweet, decadent breakfast treat.
