The Best Keto Pancake Recipe
The best part about this recipe is the base is so simple that you can easily customize it to make different pancake flavors.
The recipe makes enough pancakes for one to two people, or it can easily be doubled to serve a family or larger crowd.
Try topping the pancakes with keto maple syrup, mini chocolate chips, or fresh berries and Coconut Whipped Cream.
A reader even left a comment on Pinterest to say she turned them into keto waffles by putting the batter into a waffle maker. If you try her idea, let me know how it goes!

Keto Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp keto syrup or water (pure maple syrup or milk of choice also work)
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil or water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs (including the vegan options listed earlier in this post)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- optional chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
- optional if using water instead of syrup, add a pinch of stevia or erythritol if desired, or omit for savory pancakes
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients to make a pancake batter. Add more liquid if needed to thin out the batter. Grease a nonstick skillet with oil or spray, and heat on low. When the pan is hot (test it by adding a droplet of water to the pan – if it sizzles, the pan is ready), drop on small ladles of batter and press down. Don’t make them too big or they’ll be done on the edges before the centers have a chance to cook. (To prevent sticking, it may be necessary to re-grease the skillet after each set of pancakes.)

I tried this recipe about a month ago when Jason sent me the bonus pack from the Hello Breakfast cookbook. The pancakes turned out great, and tasted much closer to traditional diner-style pancakes than other low-carb pancakes I’ve tried. Other recipes tend to be flat and eggy. I look forward to trying the variations of the recipe you mentioned here — maybe I’ll try the blueberry one tomorrow.

Would these pancakes work well with that viral “Pancake Cereal” method?
CCK Media Team says
Hmm, we haven’t tried, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work as tiny pancakes. In other words, they should work! Be sure to report back if you try!

Hi 👏
I made these this morning – AS WAFFLES. I ran out of almond flour and ended up using about 1/4 cup of coconut flour, and ended up needing about double the liquid as a result.
It would have been perfect except I didn’t put enough grease/spray on my waffle pan, so they didn’t exactly come out. The flavour and texture and fluff are perfect! Waffle crumble is still delicious🤤
For my topping I warmed up about 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, and mixed it with about 2 TBSP of daiya plain cream cheese and some powdered sugar free sweetener and cinnamon… YUM

I’ve made this recipe multiple times and it is delicious! They are very fluffy on the outside and crispy on the outside (if you use the right amount of oil in the pan). I think I prefer this keto pancake recipe to our regular buttermilk pancake recipe our family uses!
