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.
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.

These are a few simple tips you should know before hand to help your pancakes be the best they can be:

- 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.

Almond Flour Pancakes FAQs
These are a few question worth answering about this almond flour pancakes recipe:
How do you I 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 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 create bubbles. More bubbles means more fluff.
You can help make your almond flour pancakes fluffier by adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the batter.
Topping variations for your almond flour pancakes
Serve these with some homemade keto approved syrup, topped with yogurt and berries, or sour cream and they’ll make an amazing low carb breakfast. You can also use store bought syrups like choco zero maple syrup.
Can you store these pancakes by freezing?
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 a 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 do 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 do 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.
