Keto Pancakes

total time: 15 MINUTES
A batch of these super tasty keto pancakes will get your morning off to a great start!
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (2 oz.) block cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (I use Lakanto Golden)
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
1
Preheat the griddle to 375 degrees. Place all ingredients in a blender starting with the liquids to avoid dry ingredients sticking/clumping. Blend for about a minute. Scrape down the bottom and sides. Blend for a few more seconds.
2
Turn the griddle down to 350 degrees. If needed, use butter or cooking spray to grease the cooking surface. Pour batter onto the griddle to make 3-4 inch wide pancakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side. (I usually cook the first side for 4 minutes and the other side for 3 minutes.) Continue the process until you've made 16 total pancakes.
3
Serve with your favorite pancake syrup, sugar-free jam, butter, or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!
Additional Notes
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for 4-6 weeks.

Hip cooking tips for our keto pancake recipe:
- Put your liquids in the blender first (eggs, cream cheese, vanilla). This helps keep the almond flour from sticking to the bottom of the blender.
- Remember that these are silver-dollar pancakes. This means 3-4 inches wide. The batter is delicate, so keeping the pancakes on the smaller side helps to ensure successful pancake flipping.
- A griddle with temperature control is by far the best way to cook these low-carb pancakes. Set the temperature to 375 degrees F when preheating, then turn it down to 350 degrees before you start to cook the pancakes.
- Don’t rush the flip. I typically cook the first side for about 4 minutes. I can tell that it’s ready when I can gently scoot my spatula under the pancake for a quick and gentle flip. A hurried flip is usually a flop.
- To store, freeze the pancakes on a sheet pan, then transfer them to a freezer bag once frozen. This helps to keep your keto pancakes from sticking to each other during the freezing process.
- Enjoy these low-carb pancakes with our fave ChocZero sugar-free syrups, grass-fed butter, keto jam, fresh whipped cream, or no-added-sugar peanut butter! YUM!
Freeze leftover keto pancakes for breakfast on the go.
These low-carb pancakes freeze beautifully. I like to double the batch so that I have plenty available for rushed mornings.
You can microwave them, however, I HIGHLY recommend toasting them instead. Just pop frozen pancakes in the toaster for about a minute. They come out perfectly cooked… Slightly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So fast and easy—it’s magical.

Is there anything else I can use besides erythritol. Where I live I can’t find it.
Hi there! Be sure to check out our Sweetener Guide over here –> https://hip2keto.com/tips/best-sweeteners-diets-conversion-recipe/
Hope that helps!
Hi amber! What type of Erythritol? Liquid or granular? Can I use Swerve Granular?
Hi there! We used the granular –> https://amzn.to/31RPkaL . You could swap out for the Swerve granular. They are both a 1-for-1 measurement, so they could be interchangeable in the recipe. Hope this helps!
I buy all my Keto ingredients on Amazon I find it as cheap as the store sometimes a little better price I live in a rural area.
These are so good! My daughter asked me if I was sure that we were not cheating by eating them. 😂. I have been recommending this recipe to everyone.
LOL! SO happy these were a hit! Thanks a TON for the feedback, BarbM!
Omg I just made these ! Amazing I
Had to refrain from eating the whole recipe by myself ! Delicious
LOL! So glad you love them, Mary bowery!
Can this be used in a waffle maker?
You probably want to try our waffle recipe here.
Is the size per pancake to make 16 1/4 of a cup or how much?
Yes! 1/4 cup sounds correct!
Hi Amber! I just got the DASH MINI 3 set of the waffle, griddle & grill makers and wanted to try a recipe immediately! I stumbled upon yours and used both the griddle iron for pancakes and the waffle iron for waffles. Your recipe was delicious!!! And they were so fluffy!
The only thing is with my batter and using these mini makers I only yielded 5.5 total (2 waffles and 3.5 pancakes). So I just averaged each (one) to be the 3 net carbs.
Do you happen to have a chaffle recipe too I could try?
Awesome! SO glad to hear how yummy they turned out! Here are our Chaffle recipes!

I just made these in the Dash mini maker griddle. I measured each one at 2 tablespoons and only got 7 pancakes. How did you guys get 16 pancakes at 1/4 cup each?
Very yummy but we only got 6 decent sized pancakes out of this recipe. Added a half teaspoon of cinnamon. Next time will mill the almond flour a bit finer for a smoother batter mix. Thanks for sharing!
I like the idea of adding the cinnamon! Thanks for the idea!
Made as mini waffles today in our dash! We got 9 perfect waffles out of 1 batch & topped with strawberries. So delicious, thank you!!!
Sounds delicious! 🙌 You’re very welcome, Tiffany!
what if you are allergic to nuts. The recipe calls for almond flour
You could try Lupine flour, but you’ll want to read about it here first. In that post they specifically talk about using the Lupine flour in pancakes. Hope this helps!
There is no “pouring” this batter. Its very thick. Is that normal?
Mine will pour and it’s not super thick like your describing. Was your cream cheese softened?
These pancakes were absolutely delicious and filling! Could you please help me out on the macros since I’m still fairly new to Keto. It says Total Carb is 10g and Fiber is 4g. Wouldn’t that make the Net Carb count 6g? It’s listed as 3 Net Carbs. Please help me understand. 😦
Hi there Lori! So glad you loved the pancakes❤ You would also subtract the sugar alcohols to arrive at the net carb count. For this recipe you would subtract 3 grams of sugar alcohols & 4 grams of fiber from the total carbohydrates. This will give you only 3 net carbs. Hope this helps❤
Do I have to melt the butter?
Hi Ann! You could just let it soften a bit on the counter before using. Hope this helps!
I tried the recipe today. The texture was super dense, not fluffy at all. Could it be my baking powder is old. I just realized I’ve had it for a while.
I would encourage you to try again with fresh baking powder. It helps make them fluffy, Mari.
These are the best keo pancakes I’ve tried! I am allergic to almonds, so I substituted walnut flour. The batter was slightly runny, so I also added about 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum. Thank you for the recipe!!
I’m so glad you were able to try this! I like your modifications, Janine!
Delicious! Went by the recipe, except I used Lakanto Brown Monkfruit Sweetener with Erythritol. The pancakes were light, fluffy and had a delicate flavor. YAY! I used Choc Zero Maple Syrup and they were perfectly delicious! Thank you for sharing your yummy recipe!
You’re SO welcome, LelaStar!! Thanks for letting us know how yummy yours turned out! 😋💖🙌
Has anyone added protein powder to these? I need more protein to start my day and these come in low at 11.
We haven’t tried that, Amy! Let us know how they turn out if you decide to give it a try! ❤️
