The Best Keto Pancakes
These gluten-free easy keto pancakes taste so damn good. They hold together really well and are light and fluffy.
The best thing about pancakes is they are great for a dessert but hey they are a great low carb breakfast option as well. I often get asked for keto breakfast recipes that are not bacon and eggs.
While these pancakes do have eggs in them, I promise they are not “eggy”.

Why We Love This Recipe with a Thermomix
- Effortless Mixing: The Thermomix ensures a smooth batter for perfect keto pancakes every time, making blending a breeze.
- Make your own almond flour: Milling almond flour in the Thermomix is a breeze. Simply add whole almonds (or blanched almonds) to the Thermomix bowl, then use the milling function to grind them into a fine, silky almond flour in seconds.

What to Serve with Keto Pancakes
Jeez there are so many ways you can serve your keto pancakes I won’t even attempt to list them all. Serve your low carb pancakes with Hot Fudge Sauce, Lemon Curd, Chocolate Ice Cream, or top them with store bought sugar free maple syrup, or jam.
Here are just a few of my favourites
- Berries and Cream: Top your keto pancakes with a vibrant medley of fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of thick yogurt for a delightful burst of flavor and a touch of creaminess.
- Savory Delight: Take your pancakes in a savory direction by leaving out the sweetener and adding sautéed spinach, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top. Drizzle with a dash of olive oil for an elegant and satisfying twist.
- Nutty Goodness: Top with a sugar-free nut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delightful crunch.
- Chocolate Heaven: Satisfy your sweet tooth with keto-friendly chocolate chip pancakes. Add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter and let them melt into the pancakes as they cook.
- Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes: Add a 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the batter. It will make the donuts thicker and slightly cheesier.
FAQs and Hot Tips
Yes, you can freeze keto pancakes. Place them into a ziplock bag to freeze. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
You can. The mixture might thicken and it may need more keto milk to thin them out. The dry keto pancake mix can also be made in bulk and stored in the pantry.

Yummo! I love that this accommodates for my GF diet. I have become a pancake queen in the kitchen and I look forward to making these again! Thanks Megan for your amazing recipes 🙂Haha! Thanks Jan!
Finally I’ve found fluffy keto pancakes that are actually fluffy. I enjoyed these and hubby who doesn’t worry about diet thought they were good too.Haha! I hear you Rita. Good to hear you both enjoyed them.
Savoury – leave out cinnamon, sweetener and vanilla + add 2 tsp mustard powder, grind pepper, pinch salt, squeeze low carb tomato sauce, diced meat, cook heaped tablespoons in lightly greased frypan on very low heat = delicious light meal
Oh that sounds so good Di. Old school fritters
My non-cook husband just made these for breakfast – so easy! With fresh berries, yummo. The only downside is that I ate too much (because it’s so delicious), and have maxed my macros out 😅. Thanks Megan for a great recipe 💝lol. Whoops!
WOW! I surprised everyone with these Keto Pancakes yesterday and they raved about them!That is so awesome!
I just bought almond flour, I cannot wait to make this.
I can’t wait to try this recipe!I hope you love it Maureen.
Thank you! The recipe says 85 g so you may want to correct that. This recipe is our household favorite now!
Hi Colleen, the milk is in grams instead of litres as it weighs the same per ml:g. Those who use thermal cookers to mix will measure in grams so I just do it as a general rule. Sorry for any confusion but I love that you are enjoying the recipe.
How much in cups is 85 grams of milk?
It is 85mls so approximately 1/3 cup
How would I adapt this recipe for waffles?
Just made these. AMAZING. left out the sweetener, salt and vanilla (I like to drown in sugar free maple syrup instead).
These were so easy (made in my smoothie maker) and I can’t wait to try them again. Thanks Megan.Can these be frozen?
These are the best keto pancakes I’ve made – and I’ve made a lot!! Soft and fluffy and held together well when I cooked them. I actually cooked them straight onto a sandwich press and they were perfect!!
Tried a few pancake recipes over time, but have to say this is my favourite now!Lovely and soft and easy and totally delicious!
Woohoo! Good to hear Gina. I hadn’t eaten in a very long time but I love a good pancake.
Fabulous recipe. Great to keep in the fridge for the weeks breakfast. They cook well and are easy to flip. Yummy tasting too. A real favourite.
So yummy and both toddler and teenager approved.We have to appreciate it when the kids approve!
These are, by far, the best Keto pancakes we’ve made… not complicated, fluffy texture, great flavour. Declared, “reeaally gooood” by all family members (even the non-Keto ones). Thank you xyay! Winning! Always love it when the reviews of non-keto family give a recipe a thumbs up! It certainly makes your life a little easier. Thanks again for leaving a review, it means a lot.x
I made these tonight in my pancake maker. They were amazing, light, fluffy & tasty.What is your go to almond flour. It is hard to get and looks the same as meal to me but I want fluffy pancakes. Lol
Hi Selena, I do have the ink to what I use in the recipe. You can use meal but one is a mea the other a flour (so much finer and less gritty).
What a great recipe. I can’t wait to try these for breakfast . I love a good pancake and these look amazing 😍😍
