Servings: 8 pancakes
Calories: 168kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream add a little water if the batter is too thick
- 2 tablespoons MCT oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder for better binding
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, salt, monk fruit sweetener, and psyllium husk powder until evenly blended.
- Create Batter: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The psyllium husk powder helps the batter thicken slightly.
Cooking Steps
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Gently place blueberries on top of the wet batter, spacing them out as desired.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of keto-friendly toppings like sugar-free maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra fresh blueberries.
Notes
Quick note: if your pan is getting too hot, remove it from the heat between batches and allow it to cool slightly. This will prevent burning!
