About this recipe

Start your day with these delicious and fluffy keto protein pancakes that are low in carbs but high in flavor. Made with simple ingredients like almond flour and protein powder, these pancakes pack a protein punch while keeping you full and energized. Perfect for keto followers or anyone looking for a healthier breakfast alternative.

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder, keto-friendly
  • 1/4 cup almond flour, superfine
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Coconut oil or unsalted butter for cooking

Directions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together the protein powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with a small amount of coconut oil or butter.

  5. 5

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip the pancakes gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Chef's tip

Letting the batter rest for a minute allows the flours to absorb the liquid, ensuring the pancakes hold together better while cooking. Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or toppings like unsweetened shredded coconut for variety.
