Keto Pancakes

Keto pancakes are a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pancakes, suitable for those following a ketogenic diet. They are typically made with almond flour, coconut flour, or a combination of both instead of regular wheat flour. Here's a basic recipe for keto pancakes:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 2 tablespoons coconut flour

• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or a keto-friendly sweetener of your choice

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• A pinch of salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter

• Optional add-ins: vanilla extract, cinnamon, blueberries, chocolate chips (choose low-carb options if using)

Instructions:

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure there are no lumps.

• Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter.

• Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. If you're adding any optional ingredients like vanilla extract or spices, mix them in now. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

• Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.

• Cook the Pancakes: Pour small portions of the batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter evenly and create round shapes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).

• Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

• Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve them hot. You can top them with sugar-free maple syrup, whipped cream, berries, or any keto-friendly toppings you like.

This recipe should yield approximately 4-6 keto pancakes, depending on the size you prefer.

Keep in mind that keto pancakes may be a bit more delicate than traditional pancakes due to the absence of gluten, so handle them gently when flipping. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener, and customize your pancakes with your favorite keto-friendly toppings. Enjoy your low-carb breakfast treat!
