How to Make Low Carb Tiramisu Pancakes
To Make the Almond Flour Pancakes
Mix the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites until you get soft peaks and set aside.
In another bowl, add the egg yolks, Swerve, heavy cream, vanilla and coffee extracts. Mix using a hand mixer for about 2 minutes.
Add the egg whites in and mix briefly.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The batter should be a little loose, but not too runny. Add a little more heavy cream, if needed.
Add some avocado oil or clarified butter/ghee to a skillet on low heat and add the pancake batter to make pancakes of about 3-4” in diameter.
Cook them on low heat with a lid on for a few minutes on each side, this is key!
When the pancakes are done, remove them from the heat and set aside.
To Make the Keto Mascarpone Cream Filling
Add the heavy cream to a bowl and whip to stiff peaks, set aside.
Whip the Mascarpone cheese, Swerve and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Then fold in the whipped cream until well combined.
To Assemble The Low Carb Tiramisu Pancakes
Add a pancake onto a plate, brush some of the coffee over the top so that it soaks in.
Top with a dollop of the Mascarpone cream.
Sprinkle a dusting of the cocoa powder.
Add another pancake over the top and repeat the process.
Tips for Keto Tiramisu Pancakes
- Almond flour pancakes are so quick and easy. Making a double batch and freezing them means you can have healthy pancakes on hand any time you need a quick low carb breakfast.
- To freeze leftovers, place the pancakes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Allow them to come to room temp. Blot off with paper towels any extra moisture that may be on the top. Stick in the freezer for a couple of hours then store in a freezer bag or container.
- You can also make the batter for these low carb pancakes up to a couple of days in advance and keep it in fridge in an airtight container. Give the batter a good whisk before using and you are good to go.
- This decadent Keto Mascarpone cream is truly delicious. Make extra and store in an airtight container in the fridge. You can serve it over this Mixed Berry Crumble for an amazing treat. It also pairs wonderfully with these Strawberry Cream Tarts.

Is Oat Fiber ok for Keto? Is Oat Fiber the Same as Oat Flour?
The Oat Fiber is really important in this recipe! I use it in so many recipes, because of the amazing texture it gives whatever I’m baking! It is hands down, the best ingredient I’ve baked with! The Oat Fiber that I use is made by Lifesource Foods, because they grind it to a very fine powder and has a mild flavor. I buy it in the 16 ounce bag, which lasts a while, because you don’t need to use much in your recipes.
Oat Fiber is not the same as Oat Flour, which is made from grinding oats. Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats and is pure insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve in water and is not broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is Keto friendly.

NOTES
So I’m starting to make this for tomorrow morning at my in-laws. The nutrition facts up above say it makes 5 servings….is a serving 3, 3-4 inch diameter pancakes? So does the recipe yield 15 pancakes
?! I’m a tad confused.
Yes, it makes about 15 or so, just depends on the size that you make them.
