If I'm in a hurry, I use this Keto pancake mix, but I had much rather make my own. The ingredients are cleaner and cheaper. 

These turned out just right and I served them with some ButcherBox breakfast sausage and Keto syrup.

You could also add some chocolate chips sweetened with stevia and top them with Best Keto Sugar Free Whipped Cream or some yummy berries.

History Of Pancakes

According mentalfloss.com, some food historians say the early pancakes, known as Alita Dolcia (“another sweet” in Latin), was made by Romans in the 1st century. These cakes were sold on the corners from vendors.

Instead of topping them with syrup, they used honey on top of their pancakes.

There have been many different names for pancakes such as:

• johnnycake
• jonnycake
• battercake
• flapjack
• griddle cake
• hotcake
• slapjack

Ingredients for Low Carb Healthy Protein Keto Pancakes

Eggs 

Free range are always best and fresh farm when you can.  We are fortunate to get our eggs from our brother-n-law's chickens. 

Almond Flour

I've tried different almond flours and this brand is always my favorite.  It's finer and creates a better texture for any recipe. You can use this link for the almond flour or it's available at Costco. 

Avocado Oil 

Using avocado oil adds some nice healthy fat to your pancakes. Avocado oil is a great oil to have in your kitchen because it has a very high smoke point and is pretty much tasteless. 

I use this avocado oil from Amazon or buy a clean brand at Kroger or Costco. 

Canola, vegetable oils, etc are not heart healthy. You can read more about the best oils here. 

Baking Powder

The baking powder should be aluminum free such as this one.  Aluminum has been tied to cognitive problems such as dementia and Alzheimer's.   

Powdered Erythritol 

Powdered Erythritol is one of my favorite staples in my pantry.  It doesn't leave a recipe grainy and it gives a nice sweet touch.  

This is one of my favorite brands. I usually order it from Amazon because I haven't had good luck finding it in stores. You may can find it in a health food store. 

Coconut Flour

The Coconut Flour gives these pancakes a little fluffier and sweeter taste. You can find coconut flour at different stores, but this is the best deal on coconut flour I've been able to find. 

Almond Milk or Coconut Milk

For these pancakes either milk will work.  You are only using 2 tablespoons.  I usually have almond milk available because I use it so much in my other Keto recipes. This is my favorite brand of almond milk. 

Cow's milk is high in carbs so you don't want to use it.  You could also use heavy cream if you have it. 

Vanilla

Gotta love vanilla, I prefer this clean vanilla or pure vanilla from Mexico when I can get it.  

Salt

Please remove the traditional table iodized salt from your table and start using Pink salt or this Real Salt. It's so much better for you. 

Cinnamon 

Cinnamon is optional. I like the taste in mine, but Mike hates cinnamon so I leave them out of his.  (yea I know, who hates cinnamon?? ha) I use this organic cinnamon. 

Grass Fed Butter

Grass fed butter and beef is the only way to go.  I prefer the Kerrygold or Organic Valley. 

Grass fed butter contains more nutrients as compared to conventionally raised butter, since the cow's healthier, grass-fed cows are more natural and vitamin-rich than grain fed cows. Grass fed butter is also high in butyric acid which is considered anti-inflammatory and inflammation is the root of most modern day disease. 

Leave the butter off if you need dairy free pancakes.  

Avocado Spray

This will keep your pancakes from sticking.  Stay away from traditional non stick sprays – read the ingredients – they're awful. 

Find one that has only pure, clean ingredients.  I like this avocado spray because it contains no propellent or other harmful ingredients. 

Keto Syrup

You don't want to top your pancakes with a sugar laden syrup as that would defeat the whole purpose of making low carb Keto pancakes.  

This syrup is clean and my favorite.  Make sure you don't put it in the fridge after opening as it will harden up.
