Cook them on low heat with a lid on for a few minutes on each side, this is key!

💡 Tips for Making the Best Keto Pancakes

  • Whip the egg whites separately: this helps to give the batter more volume, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  • Don’t make them too large: be sure to make your pancakes on the smaller side, this helps them fluff up more and are also easier to flip.
  • Cook them over low heat: you will be tempted to turn the heat up, but you won’t get the same result if you do, so be patient and it will be worth the wait.
  • Cook with the lid on: Using a lid helps to ensure the tops are cooking, since you are using low heat. I also use a glass lid so I can see when those bubbles start to form, indicating it’s time to flip them.
  • Don’t overcook them: if you overcook the pancakes, the blueberries can burst and and scorch the pan.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftover pancakes in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.

Can I freeze leftover pancakes?

Absolutely! For leftovers, line a sheet pan with parchment paper, place the pancakes in a single layer on the pan. Allow the pancakes to come to room temperature, before putting them in the freezer for 2 hours. Place the frozen pancakes in a freezer safe container or freezer bag.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Oat fiber is a key ingredient, it is what helps give better structure and a more traditional texture to the pancakes. If you don’t have oat fiber, it’s honestly worth getting and don’t worry, you’ll never be left with unused oat fiber because I have a TON of recipes using oat fiber, check them out here!
  • If you don’t have heavy cream, you can either unsweetened coconut milk or buttermilk instead. You can also use unsweetened almond milk, but use a little less since it’s a bit thinner than the heavy cream.
  • For a stronger vanilla flavor, use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste instead of the extract.
  • You can also use a small amount of almond extract if you’d like, thought I would not use more than 1/4 teaspoon because it’s pretty strong and can quickly overpower the flavor of the pancakes.

What kind of flour is best for pancakes?

Using a combination of super fine almond flour and oat fiber really helps give these pancakes the best texture. Pancakes with oat fiber have a soft and fluffy texture that you look for in a pancake.

What if I don’t like blueberries?

You don’t have to add them. This Keto pancake recipe is delicious just plain with butter and sugar-free maple syrup. Or you can add a raspberry sauce or strawberry sauce over the top instead.

Can I use egg whites only for the batter?

It is not recommended. Using only egg whites only removes a lot of fat that is needed to give these low carb pancakes the texture they need.

What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It’s pure insoluble fiber, which doesn’t dissolve in water and isn’t broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that’s why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!

What is a Substitute for Oat Fiber?

To get the best results, it’s best to use oat fiber if you can. If you’re unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.

If you don’t have monk fruit/allulose blend, you can use just monk fruit or a 1:1 replacement.  If you have just allulose, use 2 1/2 tablespoons, since it’s not quite as sweet as monk fruit.

  1. You have the best looking foods and desserts! I was on a keto diet when Adkins first came out and lost 70 lbs. in 4 months. I haven’t gained a lot over the years but enough that I need to get some off as it’s affecting my health some. I loved the keto diet and still do to this day. I’m much older now and hoping it will still work for and I’m excited to dive into your recipes!

    1. Hi Kitty,
      I cannot say for sure, since I’ve never tried it. I would consider maybe part psyllium husk powder and part coconut flour, but you might have to increase your liquid and egg. Oat fiber is really best in this recipe, if at all possible.

    1. Hello! I’m not sure what you are asking about the heavy cream, can you please clarify for me?
