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
- 1/4 cup (45.5 g) Swerve Granular
- 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60 g) coconut flour
- 1/4 cup (56.75 g) butter, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) cinnamon
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup (78.86 g) water
- 1/2 cup (74 g) 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 1/3 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.

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

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.
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!
So glad to hear it!
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
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??
Sure…you may need more batter to get one full muffin.
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!
Does it matter if the Swerve is granular or powdered? Thank you
In this one, you could do either.
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 ????

Thanks so much for sharing!
Could you sub the coconut flour out for flaxseed mill? What alterations would you suggest with doing that swap?
Thanks!
I honestly do not think that would be a very good swap. This recipe is designed for coconut flour.
I’ve made these twice now, and each time they came out perfectly. They are the ideal thing for me to take to work (I work 12 hour shifts) and finding something tasty and, I hate to say this, rewarding (!) has been a real challenge, but these fit the bill. If I don’t have something yummy portioned out, carb-y stuff from a vending machine is just ridiculously tempting. I don’t even need to re-heat them.
Could I use confectioners Swerve?
You bet!
So I just made these and they are winderful!!! How do store leftovers and for how long? Can they be frozen? If so best way to reheat.
My husband has grudgingly agreed to go on this low carb lifestyle with me and it’s really hard to find baked goodies that he likes. These were a HUGE hit!!!!
I am sure they can be frozen. Just thaw in the microwave.
The nutrition chart doesn’t say how many of these is one serving. Can you tell me serving size please.
These look yummy!
Thank you!
It makes 24 and it serves 6 so it’s 4 per serving.
Can Stevia be used to replace swerve sweetener sorry I’m new to all of this trying out this low carbs
Can this be used as pancake batter?
Yes.
