This Success Low Carb Pancake Recipe has come about after a lot of testing and reading and munged pancakes and burnt pans. I tried a lot of different recipes.
I love pancakes. They are the cotton candy of breakfast. So How do you make pancakes look, taste and quack like pancakes without ‘pancake’ (ie, white flour & sugar) ingredients in it?
Turns out there are a lot of replacements. — Ready made Keto mixes, Soy flour, protein powder, coconut flour and almond flour plus other surprising things like white beans and pork rinds.
Almond flour has come to my rescue so many times since I started on this low carbing journey that I gravitate toward it because I like the flavor and it is filling. And yes, It was already on my pantry shelf. (I also like coconut flour, but in smaller doses.)
I just dumped all the ingredients in my Bullet blender and poured them into the pan from there. It’s as easy as regular pancakes. That’s a plus with low carb recipes.
The low carb pancakes that you make with this recipe are light, but filling. Surprisingly, just four 4″ pancakes satisfied me.
My darling husband enjoyed them too. I froze the rest in separate portions for other breakfasts. (I love, love, love meals ahead. They are a lifesaver.)
These Low Carb Pancakes are a low carb bargain at just 1.9 carbs and .8 fiber per pancake. They are just a breathe over 1 net carb per cake. –Enjoy! Laura

Low Carb Pancakes Recipe-that sound like a miracle! I also love pancakes, so I will try this recipe.
So this entire recipe is for one and is only 1.9 carbs for the whole thing??
Hi Amy! It’s 1.9 carbs per pancake.
Love pancakes and I always look for lowcarb variations. 🙂 I’m definitely going to try this out soon, looks really good!
Could you suggest a substitute for the coconut flour? It is not a friend to my tummy.
The coconut flour aids the batter in thickening up. I think i would try upping the almond flour to a half cup, omit the coconut powder and try adding 2 tsp. Arrowroot powder as a thickener.
How would blueberries hold up in these?
Excellent question. Fresh blueberries in these pancakes are your best bet. I think frozen might be too mushy and make the batter look gray.
I live alone. Could I make these up and freeze them to be reheated in the toaster another day? The recipe does not look like it would scale down easily. Thank you for posting a good recipe.
Yes these freeze well and I’ve done that many times, myself. Thanks for asking!
We have an almond allergy. Should i just up the coconut flour or would they be too dry? Thanks!
I think you could use all coconut flour if you wish. But keep in mind that coconut flour thickens up a lot so you’d probably use quite a bit less. Would love to hear how they turn out!
Could you use Greek yogurt instead of thee ricotta?
I haven’t tried it. I think it might be too liquid. Greek yogurt isn’t as thick as ricotta. Please let me know if it works for you. 🙂
Instead of ricotta can you use cream cheese. On the keto diet
I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know. If it works please let me know. It’s nice to have options.
