Have you ever tried a cream cheese pancake before? If you answered no, then this post will show you how to make keto cream cheese pancakes with a few ingredients in under 20 minutes!
These pancakes are super fun and easy to make, and most importantly low in carbs. Besides being low carb, the pancakes are gluten-free and thus suitable for those who are having issues in digesting gluten.
These flourless keto pancakes are great to serve with any kind of low carb berries. And, if you want to improve their taste, just add a splash of vanilla extract into the batter.
What are the Carbs in Cream Cheese?
Cream cheese is keto-friendly food that you can enjoy without getting kicked out of ketosis. In every 3oz serving of cream cheese, there are 3.5g of carbs.
How many Carbs are in Keto Pancakes?
Based on the ingredients and amounts used to make the pancakes, every single keto pancake recipe is going to be different. However, for the keto pancakes made in this recipe, you can expect them to have 0.8 net carbs per serving.
Tips to make the Best Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes
In order to make the best pancakes with cream cheese that are low carb and keto, follow these simple tips:
- Make sure the eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature before use. Only then will these will blend nicely into a smooth batter for fluffy pancakes.
- For the best results, use psyllium husk powder—it adds great texture to your cream cheese psyllium husk pancakes and is much lower in carbs than almond or coconut flour, making it ideal for keto recipes. If you don’t have psyllium husk on hand, unflavored whey protein powder can work as a substitute, though the texture will be slightly different.
Any type of psyllium husk powder will work. But lately, I've been liking and using this brand. It's very important to use psyllium husk powder to help this bread recipe (and other keto-baked goods) bind properly. Without it, the bread will crumble.
- To make your batter smoother and more flavorful, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter or ghee to the mixture before blending.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh and hasn’t expired—old baking powder won’t give your pancakes the lift they need.
Tools Needed for the Pancake Recipe
- Silicone spatula – This is perfect for gently lifting and flipping your pancakes without scratching your pan.
- Blender or immersion blender – It’s important to blend this batter so it’s super smooth and lump-free since the recipe calls for quite a bit of cream cheese.
- Mixing bowls – You need them for prepping the ingredients and combining your dry mix before blending.
- Measuring spoons – Precision matters with keto recipes—especially when you’re using ingredients like psyllium husk.
- Non-stick skillet – A good non-stick pan makes all the difference when flipping these delicate pancakes without tearing them.

- A few drops of Stevia – These liquid stevia drops are my go-to
