Almond Pancakes - Better than the "Real" thing!

The biggest  trouble you'll have with these pancakes is resisting the temptation to drown them in maple syrup.  I like to dust them with powdered stevia, a kind of faux powdered sugar.  But then, I've been off sugar so long that 90% cocoa actually tastes sweet to me.  Only 1 gram of carbs per pancake, not including whatever fruit you choose to add (and assuming you avoid the syrup.)

ALMOND PANCAKES
1 cup almond meal
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbpsp stevia
dash cinnamon

Combine all ingredients, let sit a few minutes to thicken.  Fry on frying pan with butter like regular pancakes.  They won't "bubble" like regular pancakes, so watch them closely.  You can add blueberries or strawberries if desired.

Serve with scrambled eggs and bacon for a nicely balanced keto meal.

Note: I experimented a bit the other day and added a tablespoon of cocoa powder - YUMMY.  These are excellent reheated, so make enough for leftovers to take to work with you.  They are also very filling, so a little bit goes a long way.

  1. I just found your blog and loving it. Your writing is both honest and informed--can't say it gets much better than that. When I make keto pancakes--I add maple extract to the batter-once I pile on the butter & it melts my mind thinks I got maple syrupy bliss.

  2. CTYonit, what a great idea! I'll have to give that a try. All the flavor, with none of the carbs?? Yes, please!

  3. These are great! I just have to ask is it a measured tbsp of stevia or the equivalent of a tbsp of stevia?
