We love pancakes since we were kids. They are always one of our most favorite foods for breakfast. On keto diet, you can still have pancakes but you need to use different ingredients to make it low carb, such as these keto flaxseed pancakes I made below.
There are many keto pancakes recipes you can follow. This keto flax pancakes recipe is flavorful because we combine different types of flour and tastes. I will be using almond flour, flaxseed meal and a little bit of coconut flour.
If you have flax seed but you don’t have flaxseed meal, don’t worry. It is very easy to prepare. Simply place flax seed in the food processor or the blender and blend for three minutes until it becomes flour.
The initial texture of the batter mixture does not look nice but the result of the pancakes is impeccable in presence, taste and texture. They are fluffy and delicious.
How to Make Low Carb Flaxseed Pancakes with Almond Flour
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. You can add erythritol for sweetness if you like.
Prepare Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until they’re foamy and form soft peaks.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a different bowl, stir together almond milk, 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, melted butter, and egg yolks until smooth.
Make the Batter: Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites.
Cook Pancakes: Heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan. Scoop the batter to form 3-inch wide pancakes. Cook each pancake individually for easy flipping and to maintain their shape.
Serve: Stack the warm pancakes into a tower and serve. Enjoy your keto-friendly breakfast!
