21 of the best low carb, grain-free pancake recipes the internet has to offer. Make breakfast fun again!
The funny thing about this post is that I don’t even like pancakes that much. Or at least I didn’t really like them much until I started a low carb 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 low carb, high fat world, pancakes have a position of great honour. 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 pancakes are a low carb staple in our house.
For someone who was pretty meh about pancakes, I have developed quite a number of healthy pancake recipes. So have a great many of my fellow low carb bloggers. So I figured it was time to collect all of those great recipes in one place. From chocolate to cinnamon to red velvet, you are sure to find the low carb pancake recipe of your dreams.

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.
