Oven Baked Pancakes
Cooking pancakes in the oven is nothing new. Pancake batter bakes well in a number of ways and it streamlines the process considerably.
I love to make keto sheet pan pancakes because I can make a huge batch in less than 30 minutes. And skillet pancakes get that wonderful crusty exterior that tastes so good.
These adorable pancake bites are really just mini keto pancake muffins. And you can’t deny that everyone loves things in miniature. It somehow just makes breakfast more interesting!
Ingredients
Keto pancake bites take basic low carb ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- Eggs
- Keto sweetener
- Coconut flour
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Toppings like blueberries or chocolate chip
How to make keto pancake bites
These pancake bites are easy to make, with only 15 minutes of active prep time!
- Whip up the pancake batter: Really you could use any batter here, and even make these from a mix. If you don’t like coconut flour, try using my almond flour pancakes instead.
- Use your blender: Using a blender is quick and easy, and it helps whip air into the pancake batter.
- Give the batter a rest: Coconut flour thickens up considerably as it sits, and in this case, you want it to do so. It will be very watery at first but give it a few minutes and it will be quite thick. Then add just as much water as you need to make it scoop-able but pourable.
- Use a mini muffin pan: It’s the perfect tool to make mini pancake bites!
- Grease the pan well! You want to use bare pans instead of any little cupcake or muffin liners, so that the pancake bites brown properly. So make sure you grease that pan well and work it into the very corners of each cavity.
- Add your toppings: If you’re going to add berries or chocolate chips, I recommend waiting until the batter is in the muffin tin. This makes it easier to make sure each pancake bite gets a few of the tasty bits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering what healthy low carb syrup you can use to dip your pancake bites? I recommend the Allulose syrup from All-u-lose. It actually tastes like real maple syrup!
Storage information
Store the keto pancake bites in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
Keto Pancake Bites
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup Swerve Granular
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ to ½ cup water
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F and grease a mini muffin tin (24 cavity) very well. (I double grease, first with butter and then with coconut oil spray).
- In a blender combine the eggs, sweetener and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Add the coconut flour, melted butter, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Blend again until smooth. Let the batter rest a few minutes to thicken.
- Add ⅓ cup of the water and blend again. If it's still very thick, add a little additional water. You shouldn't be able to pour it, but you should be able to scoop it out of the blender easily.
- Divide among the prepared muffin cups. Add a few blueberries to each (I found 4 to 5 to be just about right). Press them gently into the batter.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until set. Let cool a few minutes in the pan and then serve with your favourite low carb pancake syrup.

Hi. This recipe looks delicious. Have you ever tried these in an Instant pot? If so, could you give me the time to leave them in for on steam, please? Also would substituting coconut oil for the butter work? I stay away from cow products. I appreciate all the time you put into these recipes.
Carolyn says
I have not tried them in an instant pot. I am sure coconut oil would be fine.
Mary says
Absolutely delicious!!! A nice change for breakfast!! Thank you for all your fantastic recipes!!!
Beth says
These are my kids favorite! So delicious and yummy! I will definitely be making these again!
Katie says
Looks so good! Can’t wait to try this one with my family.
Betsy Baker says
Love this recipe! These delightful little guilt free bites are so perfect for busy mornings! Grab & go is awesome!

Hi Carolyn,
First, I added too much swerve and was short on butter to double recipe. I didn’t have blueberries so I added 1/4 C chopped dark chocolate. I used my Dash mini waffle maker instead of mini muffins, I made 12 waffles. They are yummy, I posted a picture above.
Roberta Worley says
I followed the baking directions from this recipe to finish making your coconut flour pancake since I had leftovers. It worked perfectly except for the fact that I tried using a silicone cupcake pan. Was that a mistake! Even though I greased it to hither and yon, they stuck.
I was able to still enjoy them. To the remaining mix I added the cinnamon. After pouring the batter into the wells and uncertain of their future, I decided to add frozen blueberries to four; frozen raspberries to another four and make four plain. It ended up being that the raspberry and plain ones were my faves. Go figure!o)
David says
hi there,
thank you for the delicious recipe. mine turned out rather fluffy whereas yours look more dense. i also had difficulty removing them from my metal mini muffin pan. the batter was perfect (not too runny and not cement either) and i did double grease the pan. any suggestions about what to do differently next time?
thanks in advance
Carolyn says
It’s probably the non-stickness of your pan so you might try using silicone muffin liners next time.
Aniela Meyer says
These turned out beautifully, had them for breakfast this morning, family was overjoyed.
I made 12 large ones and the texture was amazing.
I was a little worried as the batter did not thicken up as much as you said, but I checked them after 20 mins and had to cook them 5 mins longer.
Thank you for another alternative for a breakfast treat !
Sherrie says
Mine are runny, can i add more coconut flour
Carolyn says
Absolutely!
Carrie L. says
These are delicious! I omitted the blueberries & they are still scrumptious. I added a couple chocolate chips for my little one. She preferred them without syrup, a huge win!!! Maybe I’ll add in a little maple extract next time?! Thank you very much for this recipe, truly a keeper!!!
Carolyn says
Glad she liked them! Maple extract is always good!
Lindsay says
Can you tell me the sugar content in these? As I am to be under 20g a day. Thanks!
Carolyn says
1.9g of sugars. All naturally occurring, of course.
Erin says
Great idea. Quick correction- the description says because you’re using coconut flour it has no nuts. Coconuts are in fact nuts just a quick FYI. I love these pancake bites though

Carolyn says
So good, thank you! Made them as written. Apparently my idea of well-greased and coconut flour’s idea are different but totally worth digging out.
Monique says
I made these last night and had them for breakfast this morning and they are simply delightful. I normally have to force myself to eat but not today. Thank you for this recipe!
Carolyn says
So glad to hear it!
jennifer says
Excellent and extremly easy to make. I added a bit of maple extract and found the were sweet enough to eat like a mini muffin, I didnt even need to add butter! I myself am not low carb, i made these for husband who is on a ketogenic diet and is finally tired of eating bacon and avacodos for brekki! He also enjoyed them. I personally find a lot of keto recipes gross so it is nice to find something we both can eat
Amy says
Hi there, I just started the Ket o diet, and I am missing “bread/muffin type foods” What if I wanted a real miffin, could I use the std 1 2 cupcake tin to make these as muffins??
Carolyn says
Sure…you may need more batter to get one full muffin.
MIsty says
These were wonderful! My kids (4 & 7) helped make them and we used a stand mixer instead because our blender recently went out. Super easy and satisfying! We didn’t have frozen blueberries so we used 3 fresh berries per muffin instead. They had fun poking the berries down into each portion. The kids also sprinkled a few mini chocolate chips over a couple to try instead of the blueberries. Both variations were kid approved! We served with sausage and a bit of sugar free syrup for dipping. Thank you so much for the awesome recipe!
Amanda says
Does it matter if the Swerve is granular or powdered? Thank you
Carolyn says
In this one, you could do either.
Joni says
Perfection once more! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes! Two or three of mine tore a little bit when I was popping them out of the pan….so I HAD to eat them ????
