    I'm so excited to share these fluffy pancakes with you! They're absolutely amazing!  

    Have you ever made low carb/Keto pancakes that taste too eggy, fall apart when you try to flip them, deflate by the time they hit the plate, or just have an odd texture?  Not these!!! The texture is spot on!

    You can top these easy low carb pancakes with thisHomemade Strawberry Sauce or your favorite Keto-friendly maple syrup!

    Everyone loves light and fluffy pancakes, so I've been experimenting with low carb pancakes for a while and found the perfect combination of ingredients that's most reminiscent of traditional pancakes.

    And because these almond flour pancakes are made by adding oat fiber in the batter, the texture is so tender and fluffy, you'll certainly want to add this recipe to your Keto breakfast ideas.

    What's in Fluffy Low Carb Pancakes

    • Almond flour
    • Oat fiber
    • Eggs
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Swerve Confectioners (or powdered Erythritol)
    • Baking powder
    • Heavy cream
    • Avocado oil
    • Salt
    • Homemade Strawberry Sauce or your favorite sugar-free syrup

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes

    Separate the eggs. Using a hand mixer whip the egg whites until you get soft peaks then set aside.

    In another bowl, add the egg yolks, Swerve, vanilla and the heavy cream and mix using a hand mixer for about 2 minutes.

    Add the egg whites in and mix briefly.

    In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until combined.  Batter should be a little loose, but not too runny.  Add a little more heavy cream, if needed.

    Add some avocado oil, coconut oil or clarified butter/ghee to a skillet on low heat and add the pancake batter to make pancakes of about 4” in diameter.

    Toppings for Low Carb Pancakes

    While Strawberry Sauce is definitely popular, there are so many ways to change these gluten free pancakes up. Here are just a few ideas that may inspire you:

    • Mix a few sugar free chocolate chips in the batter-the kids will love them!
    • Along with maple syrup, chopped pecans are always a big hit.
    • If you'd like a little different flavor, use a small dash of espresso powder or instant coffee to the batter. It gives it a subtle coffee flavor.
    • You also substitute the extract with any flavor you like as well. Coffee, coconut, maple are all great extracts you could try.

    Tips for Storing Leftover Fluffy Gluten Free Pancakes

    This fluffy Keto pancake recipe is so quick and easy, making a double batch and freezing them means you can have healthy pancakes on hand when you need a quick low carb breakfast.

    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.

    If they are completely frozen, they should not stick. If you want to ensure they don't stick, place a small piece of parchment paper between each frozen pancake before storing. Store up to two months in freezer.

    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.

      I’m confused, carbs listed at 10 then 8 fiber so why would the net carbs be 5 as listed in the above question? There’s a lot of difference to be between 2 & 5 . Don’t mean to be negative, just need clarification. They sound amazing, but I’m not usually gonna make pancakes that have 5 carbs/serving. Thank you so much for your recipes and the time you spend with all the wonderful recipes and the scripture. God bless

      Just made these for my dinner. They are the BOMB. Best Keto pancake ever - just like “regular” ones. I will be freezing some. Had some fresh strawberries I put on them, along with some ChocZero white chocolate hazelnut spread……amazing!! Thank you

      Could you substitute some of the almond flour for “flavored protein powder” e.g, KetoChow?

      Hi there I’m excited to try some of your recipes.I’ve been browsing.I’m new to this keto baking.I’m seeing Swerve in your recipes or this one Powdered Erythitol .I’ve purchased Monk fruit erythitrol blend.Can i sub that in when your recipes call for swerve and for powdered just put it through a coffee grinder?im hoping not to have to buy so many different sweeteners
      Thanks so much!

        In almost every recipe that you see Swerve, it's the confectioners version and subbing that with the monk fruit/erythritol blend is perfectly fine. That should be a 1:1 sub, so it makes it super easy. I hope that helps!

      Outstanding! Pancakes with fluff and body. I did for my taste cut the swerve down to 1 1/2 TBSP and not having oat fiber, I used ground flax. The taste and texture mimic buckwheat pancakes! My favorite by far. Thank you so much. Looking forward to cooking more of your recipes

      These pancakes were fantastic...best keto pancakes ever-and I've made plenty! I froze the extras per your instructions and they reheat perfectly. I'm slowly working through all your recipes including oat fiber (what a discovery!) and have been so pleasantly surprised with the results. (You mention "adding oat flour in the batter" near the top of the post. I believe you meant oat fiber.)

      I don’t know if I can get the oat fibre in my small town. Can I use psyllium husk instead? Looking forward to trying these!

        Hi Julie,
        I'm honestly not sure, since I haven't tried it. It would be a lot of psyllium husk powder to use, so maybe split it with coconut flour. Typically when you use coconut flour, you have to add more eggs, but that would make these too eggy, so maybe try adding more liquid instead.

      I made these this morning and they are now my ONLY Keto pancake recipe that I will be using. I love them! Actually, I am enjoying ALL of Julianne's Keto Cooking Christian's recipes. The Oat Fiber is the BOMB! I have made too many recipes from others that were SUCH a disappointment. But I am finding that this site has my FAVs! I thanked the LORD at LEAST two or three times already for these recipes and the sister He used to provide them for us. Thank you, Julianne! I pray for you and will continue.
