There's nothing like the smell of fresh homemade pancakes for breakfast. It's a classic breakfast we all love.

Pancake Toppings
As for toppings, most typical pancake toppings are a no-go on the keto diet.
We've made a simple cranberry sauce that is very easy to make. It's much better than store-bought versions that are loaded with sugar!
Cranberries have the added benefits of being low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.
They're also considered by many to be a superfood because they're high in nutrients and packed with antioxidants.
That makes them the perfect pancake topping choice for your keto diet.
So, start your day off right and make these amazing low carb pancakes. Remember to let me know how they went in the comments below!
What are Low Carb Pancakes?
If you've tried other keto pancake recipes out there, you've probably tried ones made with cream cheese and eggs.
Maybe it's just me, but I find them way too tangy with a strong egg flavor.
Instead, these almond flour keto pancakes use blanched almond flour, which makes the pancakes cakier, light, and fluffy.
If you love pancakes as much as I do, make sure you try my coconut flour pancake recipe and pumpkin pancake recipe as well!
Just 6 Ingredients
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it is low carb, keto, paleo, gluten-free, AND super easy to make.
What makes it even better? Only 6 ingredients for the pancakes (7 if you throw in the cranberry sauce).
Most of these common ingredients will be in your kitchen if you cook keto recipes on a low carb diet.
For the sweetener, you can go with your favorite sugar-free option.
I used Erythritol, but feel free to substitute it with any no-carb sweetener you like.
You can also adjust the amount of sweetener depending on how sweet you enjoy your pancakes (and whether or not you add the cranberry sauce).
How to Make Them
As I've mentioned, these keto-friendly pancakes are quick to make.
The prep will only take 5 minutes, and simply mix all the ingredients into a smooth batter.
Step 1 - Prep the batter
Start by whisking the almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, egg, and almond milk together in a bowl.
Mix until the batter has no lumps and is the consistency of traditional pancake batter.
Step 2 - Fry the pancakes
Heat your coconut oil in a frying pan or griddle and cook for a few minutes until golden brown.
Flip and cook the other side until it's perfectly golden brown.
Keep an eye on it because it will cook faster than the first side.
Step 3 - Prep the cranberry sauce
The cranberries can be heated in a saucepan or microwave for a few minutes while cooking the pancakes.
Simply drizzle the warm cranberry sauce on top of your pancakes.
I don't think any keto breakfast, brunch, or lazy snack is easier!
Pancake Tips
Almond flour - Make sure you use high-quality, finely ground almond flour foryour pancakes. If you use coarse almond flour, you'll end up with gritty, dense pancakes. I recommend Blue Diamond Almond Flour.
Small is better - For these keto pancakes, you'll want to use around 2 tablespoons of the batter. If you make them too big, they're much harder to flip and end up falling apart.
Bubbles and flip - Like cooking a regular pancake, keep an eye out for crispy edges and bubbles on the top. Once you see them, use a thin spatula to slide under the pancake and do a quick flip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Substitute the Almond Flour and Almond Milk?
If you suffer from a nut allergy, you can substitute almond flour and milk for coconut flour and milk. The amount of milk stays the same, but you'll only need 2 ¼ teaspoon of coconut flour.
Storage Instructions
You can easily cook a large batch using this recipe. They'll keep an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
You can also freeze them, which is great if you like to meal prep and want to have some quick frozen meals that are ready.

Instructions
Cooking the Keto Pancakes
Start by whisking the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, egg, and almond milk together in a bowl. Mix until the batter has no lumps and is the consistency of traditional pancake batter.
Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Drop two tablespoons of the batter into the hot pan and form into pancakes. Cook for around 2 minutes until you see bubbles form on top and the edges turn brown. Flip and cook for 2 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Repeat until you've used all the batter.
Making the Cranberry Topping
In a saucepan, heat the cranberries until warm. Add sweetener and gently mix until smooth. Serve the cranberries drizzled over your fresh pancakes.
You can also make the topping in the microwave. Heat them for 1 minute (2 minutes if frozen) and then gently mix in sweetener.
