Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 2 tablespoons of coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons of granulated erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
For Topping (Optional):
- Fresh berries
- Sugar-free syrup
- Whipped cream
- Sliced almonds
- Butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and erythritol until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or coconut oil.
- Scoop the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the Pancakes: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Plate the Pancakes: Stack the pancakes on serving plates.
- Add Toppings: Top with fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, sliced almonds, and a pat of butter if desired.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm.
- Enjoy: Enjoy these fluffy and delicious keto pancakes!
Tips and Variations:
- Extra Flavor: Add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and flavor.
- Different Add-Ins: Fold in a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variety.
- Savory Twist: Reduce the sweetener and add a pinch of salt to the batter. Top with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of hot sauce for a savory version.
