Keto Almond Flour Pancakes with Berries
(Serves 4)
These fluffy almond flour pancakes are the perfect keto-friendly breakfast, and paired with fresh berries, they make for a deliciously low-carb start to your day.
Ingredients:
- For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other low-carb milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- For the Berry Topping:
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened whipped cream or full-fat Greek yogurt (optional for serving)
- Optional: A drizzle of sugar-free syrup or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol
Instructions:
- Prep the Pancake Batter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the almond milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Mix well to combine.
- Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly grease it with a little butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
- Repeat until all pancakes are cooked.
- Prepare the Berry Topping:
- While the pancakes are cooking, wash and prepare the berries. You can slice the strawberries if using them.
- Once pancakes are ready, stack them on a plate and top with the fresh berries.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt if desired. For extra sweetness, you can drizzle with sugar-free syrup or sprinkle powdered erythritol on top.
