Servings & Timing
Servings: 2 (makes 4 medium pancakes)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Pancake Batter
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
For Cooking
- Butter or high-heat oil (e.g., avocado oil) for the pan
Optional Toppings
- Sugar-free syrup
- Fresh berries (in moderation)
- Whipped cream or keto yogurt
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, almond flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener, salt, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add Almond Milk
Gradually stir in the almond milk to thin the batter to a pourable consistency. The batter should be thick but not stiff.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or high-heat oil. Spoon batter onto the pan to form medium-sized pancakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and edges are set before flipping.
Step 4: Serve
Serve warm with your choice of sugar-free syrup, berries, or other keto-friendly toppings.
