Sharing is caring!

Last Updated on May 9, 2025 by Toya

These 3 ingredient keto pancakes are an absolute miracle. They are fluffy, airy, and taste really good! As with any pancakes they are super easy to make, they’re sure to become some of your fav keto friendly pancakes.

Cook these pancakes over the stove in a good non-stick pancake pan like this one so they don’t crumble or break apart, and serve them with your favorite keto toppings like melted butter, fresh juicy berries, or a keto maple syrup with ONLY 1 gram net carbs for a touch of sweetness!

Tips to Make Keto Pancakes with 3 Ingredients

• Cook these 3 ingredient pancakes over medium heat. This will ensure they lift and become fluffy. If you cook them at high heat they will also rise, but after cooling they may become very flat.
• Once cooked do not stack them, but place them on a wire rack and place them in a heated oven to keep warm while you cook the others. If you stack them they may become flat, especially if you’re not using any baking powder.
• If you’re using baking powder, make sure your baking powder is fresh and not expired—old baking powder can keep your keto pancakes from getting light and fluffy!
• Any type of almond flour can work, but Blue Diamond Almond Flour here at Amazon remains my favorite due to how great it works in most recipes. 

Ingredients Needed

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup almond flour (super fine almond flour works best)
• 2oz. cream cheese which is a great milk substitute for pancakes
• ½ tsp baking powder, optional (but makes fluffier pancakes)

The Tools You’ll Need For The Recipe

• Non stick pancake pan – A non-stick pancake pan is a must-have for making perfect keto pancakes! It ensures your pancakes cook evenly without sticking, which makes flipping a breeze. If you’re looking for the perfect non-stick pancake pan, this is hands down the best one I’ve used—grab it on Amazon for effortless, perfect keto pancakes!

• Mixing bowls – Some good mixing bowls are a must in every kitchen. Any type you have will do!
• Spatula – Use this to flip the pancakes easily.
• Measuring cups and spoons – Many people like to guess, but, you need accurate measurements if you want your food to come out great. I’ve been using this set of measuring spoons for a while now, and they’re my go-to! [Grab them on Amazon here] – they’re accurate, easy to clean, and have such a sleek design!

• Whisk – To whisk the eggs and mx the ingredients together.

How to Make 3 Ingredient Keto Pancakes with Almond Flour

To start, first, gather all of your ingredients in one place. You only need 4 basic ingredients to make these pancakes, but, it’s very important to measure everthing out for the best results.

If you’re in the market for good measuring tools, I highly recommend getting these accurate measuring cups and spoons or this handy kitchen scale. I use both of these in my kitchen daily.

Then in a bowl, whisk eggs until bubbles form. This will ensure that you have fluffy 3 ingredient low carb pancakes without baking powder. If you are in a rush and do not have time to whisk, you can use some baking powder.

Add in the cream cheese and whisk. 

Then fold in the fine almond flour (and baking powder if using) and stir to combine.

Heat a large non-stick pancake pan over medium heat. I use and recommend the Nonstick Fry Pan From T-fal for all my pancakes. My pancakes never stick or get brunt with this pan!

Use 2 tbsp of batter per pancake and cook the pancakes for 1 -2 minutes per side. 

Serve these super easy and fluffy 3 ingredient keto almond flour pancakes warm.

Keto Pancake Recipe Variations

This recipe makes simple, yet delicious 3 ingredient almond flour pancakes. However, you can make some adjustments and still make the recipe work:

• 3 ingredients no flour keto pancakes – To make the pancakes without any flour, make sure you use more cream cheese. Increase the cream cheese up to 4oz.
• 3 ingredients no cream cheese keto pancakes – If you want to omit the cream cheese, add one egg more, or substitute cream cheese with 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or crème fraiche. 
• 3 ingredient coconut flour keto pancakes  – The pancakes can be made with coconut flour. If using this flour make sure the batter stands for at least 5 minutes. After 5 minutes check the batter and see if you need to add one egg more or some water to make the batter smoother. Coconut flour tends to absorb liquid like no other flour.

Storing Keto Pancakes

Store any leftover pancakes in the fridge, in an airtight container or storage bag, like these airtight containers from Amazon.

To freeze, stack the pancakes with a piece of baking paper between each one. Store them in an airtight container, and freeze for up to a month. For easy reheating, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds per pancake or 40-60 seconds for a stack.
