These keto pancakes are fluffy, lightly sweet, and super easy to whip up, even if you’re brand new to keto baking. They’re made with almond flour, no coconut flour needed, and they cook just like classic pancakes. Once you try them, you’ll see why they’re such a breakfast favorite.

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup almond flour

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 tablespoon granulated keto sweetener

• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 pinch salt

• Butter or oil, for cooking

Directions

• Start by adding the almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt to a medium bowl. Give everything a quick mix so the dry ingredients are evenly combined. This helps the pancakes cook evenly and stay fluffy.
• Crack in the eggs, then pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until you get a smooth pancake batter. It should be slightly thick but still pourable—similar to regular pancake batter.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a little butter or oil. Once the pan is warm, spoon the batter into small circles. Keto pancakes work best when they’re on the smaller side.
• Let the pancakes cook until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm with your favorite keto toppings.

Notes

• Keep the heat on medium-low to avoid burning
• Smaller pancakes flip more easily than large ones
• Let the batter rest for 1 minute if it feels too thin
• Add more almond milk a teaspoon at a time if needed
• Use a good non-stick pan for best results

Tips & Fun Variations for the Best Keto Pancakes

Before we jump into variations, let’s talk about how to make sure your keto pancakes turn out fluffy, golden, and totally crave-worthy every single time. Keto batters behave a little differently than regular pancake batter, but with a few simple tips, you’ll nail it.

Simple Tips for Perfect Keto Pancakes

• Keep the heat low to medium-low
  Almond flour browns faster than regular flour, so lower heat helps prevent burning while the inside cooks through.
• Make smaller pancakes
  Smaller pancakes are easier to flip and hold together better. Think silver-dollar size for best results.
• Let the batter rest briefly
  If your batter feels a little thin, let it sit for about a minute. Almond flour absorbs moisture as it rests.
• Use a good non-stick pan
  This makes flipping much easier and prevents sticking without needing lots of oil or butter.
• Flip gently and only once
  Wait until bubbles form and the edges look set before flipping. Keto pancakes don’t like being rushed.

Easy Keto Pancake Variations You’ll Love

One of the best things about these keto pancakes is how easy they are to customize. Once you’ve mastered the base recipe, you can switch things up depending on your mood or what you have in the fridge.

Blueberry Keto Pancakes

Gently fold a few fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter right before cooking. This adds a pop of flavor while keeping things low carb, just don’t overdo it.

Dairy-Free Keto Pancakes

Swap the butter for coconut oil or avocado oil, and use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk. The pancakes stay fluffy and delicious without any dairy.

Extra Fluffy Pancakes

Separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter. This gives the pancakes a lighter, more classic texture.

Cinnamon Vanilla Pancakes

Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for warm, cozy flavor. This version is amazing with butter and sugar-free maple syrup.

Savory Keto Pancakes

Skip the sweetener and vanilla, then add a pinch of salt and a little shredded cheese. These are great topped with eggs or bacon for a savory breakfast twist.

Keto Pancake Recipe with Coconut Flour

If you’d rather make your pancakes with coconut flour, that’s an easy swap too. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so the ratios change a bit, but the result is still soft and satisfying. I’ve shared a full step-by-step version in this keto pancake recipe with coconut flour so you can make it without any guesswork.
