Keto pancakes are a great way to kick off your day. Here are 21 of the best low carb and grain0-free pancake recipes the internet has to offer. Make breakfast fun again!
One of the most popular recipes on my blog are my keto almond flour pancakes. And it’s easy to see why. They are simple to make and truly light and fluffy, with no eggy taste or texture. They make wonderful keto waffles too!
Pancakes are a great beginner recipe for new keto dieters, and they satisfy just like the conventional kind. And they can easily be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer, so they are ideal for keto meal prep.
The funny thing about this post is that I didn’t really like pancakes much until I started on a low diet. I always found conventional pancakes too heavy, too filling and oftentimes completely lacking in flavour unless you drowned them in maple syrup. They were the part of the breakfast buffet that I always ignored, instead passing them over in favour of the eggs, bacon and more delicate-looking pastries.
But in the keto diet world, pancakes have a position of great honor. Done well, they are easy to make and taste great. They can be made out out of a number of low carb ingredients, from nut flours to cream cheese to pork rinds. Yes, pork rinds! And the non-low carbers of the family love them too. So keto pancakes have become a low carb staple in our house.
I have developed quite a number of healthy pancake recipes and so have a great many of my fellow low carb bloggers. So I’ve gathered together 21 of the best low carb, sugar-free pancake recipes for your breakfasting pleasure!
How to top your Keto Pancakes
Now you may be wondering what to serve with your keto pancakes. Obviously real maple syrup is now out of the question! But thankfully there are some tasty options that are keto-friendly – some homemade and some store bought.
Keto Syrup
All-u-lose Maple Syrup – this is my personal favorite as it tastes great and has a thicker syrup-like consistency.
ChocZero Syrups – many flavours to choose from, including maple, chocolate, and vanilla.
Lakanto – this is monk fruit based, which I find has a distinct aftertaste but other quite like it.
Good Dee’s – I have yet to try this one, but everything else from Good Dee’s is wonderful.
Sugar-Free Blueberry Syrup – if you’re looking for something fruity, try my easy homemade blueberry syrup. It actually works with any fresh berry you like. Raspberry is delicious too!
Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup – I’ve also got a fabulously easy keto chocolate syrup recipe if that’s your kind of thing.
Other Topping Suggestions
Butter – if the pancake is tasty enough, just a nice thick smear of butter can be tasty.
Peanut butter (or other nut butters) – warm them up and make them slightly melty, oh-so-good!
Whipped cream and berries – light and refreshing.
Keto Nutella – this might be my favorite keto pancake topping of all!
Keto Caramel Sauce – take your pancakes to the next level with my famous sugar-free caramel.

I love pancakes, but suck at making them. Usually I take pancake recipes and make them as waffles. My favorite are the peanut butter pancakes from Craig @ ruled.me. They are super easy, and I love peanut butter. I need to try some of the ones from this post.

I love peanut butter too! 🙂 The trick to making low carb pancakes is to keep them on the smaller side. No more than 4 inches across, I’d say!

Wow. I can’t believe how many low carb and grain free pancakes there are out there! I’ll have to give some of them a go, they look too good not to.

These will be fun to try. My favorite low carb pancake recipe so far is Coconut, Chia and Lime Pancakes (with Coconut Flour) from divalicious recipes in the city. It makes even better waffles. http://divaliciousrecipesinthecity.com/2014/03/04/coconut-chia-and-lime-pancakes-coconut-flour/

I love your chocolate pancakes. I made some raspberry wine sauce and some cherry brandy sauce a couple of years ago in my canning projects and the match was amazing. I also use them for peanut butter sandwiches.

I am looking for a Keto pancake recipe using almond butter (substitute with any nut butter),coconut milk and I don’t remember the other ingredients Can someone help me out Thanks
Emilie says
Any eggless ideas? I am allergic to eggs so most keto breakfast are off limits for me…
Carolyn says
Oh that sucks. I once tried making pancakes with collagen eggs and they were a disaster. I think your best bet is probably to make the pancake bites or sheet pan pancakes with some sort of egg replacer, because they don’t require flipping so they will come out a lot better.
