You will love these easy fluffy keto almond flour pancakes that are made in minutes with just a few ingredients for a very satisfying keto breakfast.
The BEST fluffy keto pancakes with almond flour
Pancakes are a staple keto breakfast recipe of American cuisine, but when you’re on the keto diet, making fluffy pancakes is not always possible.
This is mainly because keto friendly flours are gluten free and quite heavy and do not work in the same way that wheat flour works. Therefore, many keto pancake recipes may actually end up really dry.
Thankfully, after many attempts, I’ve finally come up with some delicious keto pancakes with almond flour that are very fluffy! In fact, these are some of the fluffiest keto pancakes I’ve made to date!
This pancake recipe is guaranteed to produce almond flour pancakes you’ll want to make over and over again, and these are definitely brag-worthy pancakes that you can even serve to your family for breakfast.
Also, I recommend that you try out these other easy keto breakfast recipes for more ideas. And you must make these easy cheese waffles for breakfast too!
Keto Pancakes With Almond Flour
I’ve made a few that are really great such as these easy keto pancakes and these easy cream cheese pancakes that you should definitely check out.
However, when you’re eating low carb, I’ve learned that there can never be too many substitute recipes for popular foods. After all, while someone may really enjoy coconut flour pancakes, someone else may find almond flour pancakes more to their taste. And again, someone else may love the combination of almond flour and coconut flour in their pancakes. So, the more options the better.
Today’s pancake recipe, like our super easy sheet pan pancakes is made using almond flour and almond milk as the main ingredients and you may be surprised at how good they taste!
Tips to make the best keto almond flour pancakes
These are a few simple tips you should know beforehand to help your pancakes be the best they can be:
- To get extra fluffy almond flour pancakes, make sure you are using fresh baking powder. Sometimes, baking powder sits too long on the shelf and external factors may affect its ability to make the batter rise.
- When combining the ingredients, make sure you beat the egg white separately when combining with the rest of the batter. Then when this is done, add the egg whites gradually and stir gently to keep those air bubbles.
- Use superfine almond flour for the recipe. If you already have almond flour at home, you can go ahead and use what you have on hand. But my best recommendation that will make your low carb almond flour pancakes a LOT fluffier is to pick up the Blue Diamond Finely Sifted Almond Flour here at Amazon. It’s sold at a very reasonable price and goes quite a long way.

Almond Flour Pancakes FAQs
These are a few questions worth answering about this almond flour pancakes recipe:
How do you make almond flour pancakes from scratch?
To make this recipe from scratch, follow the recipe above using the step by steps instructions.
How do you make almond flour pancakes extra fluffy?
This recipe makes very light pancakes naturally, however, there are always a few techniques that can make your pancakes more fluffy. For example, you can use some vinegar to help. Vinegar makes baking powder or baking soda fizz and creates bubbles. More bubbles mean more fluff.
You can help make your almond flour pancakes fluffier by adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the batter.
Can you store these pancakes by freezing them?
You can definitely store these pancakes in the freezer and they will remain fresh for up to one month. You should freeze them by placing them in a freezer bag, making sure to place a sheet of wax paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking to each other.
When you’re ready to reheat, you can either use a microwave and heat for 30 seconds or reheat in the oven for 12 minutes.
Can you store these pancakes in the fridge?
You can store these in the fridge for up to 3 days in air-tight containers.
Are coconut flour pancakes better than almond flour pancakes?
I have a coconut flour pancake recipe that I like. However, hands down, I enjoy almond flour pancakes a lot better. They’re naturally fluffier and feel and taste more like ‘real’ pancakes than most coconut flour pancakes.
Can you use almond meal instead of almond flour?
You can use almond meal to make keto pancakes. However, because almond meal is made from ground almond which typically still contains the skins and has a more coarse grind, your pancakes may look different in color and feel more ‘heavy’ than pancakes made with blanched almond flour.
On the other hand, almond flour, especially blanched almond flour has a much finer texture and this will help your pancakes turn out lighter and fluffier if you follow this exact recipe.
Can almond flour substitute for all-purpose flour?
In order to make keto friendly pancakes you must use a gluten free flour like almond flour so that your net carbs are low. However, if you’re attempting to make these pancakes but you’re not following the keto eating plan, then it is possible to swap all-purpose flour for almond flour using a 1:1 ratio. Only make this substitute if you’re not following the keto lifestyle.
Are these almond flour egg white pancakes?
No, they are not. For these fluffy keto pancakes, the egg whites and egg yolks were separated and used in different steps, but the entire egg is used in this pancake recipe.
