Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

Pancakes are glorious at any time of the day, but unfortunately it’s a real challenge to find a version suitable for the keto diet. Every now and again I look through recipes to find some staples that I thought I’d never enjoy again. Time and time again these low carb substitutes come out nothing like what I had anticipated – but this pancake recipe brought some new light into my life.

I was actually looking for a cornbread recipe and stumbled upon an almond flour cornbread that I thought was worth a try. Not only does it keep you from eating the sugary corn flour, but it is also high in protein and vitamin E. Of course it can get better than this though, almond flour promotes HDL cholesterol (the good kind)!

I ended up making the cornbread and being disappointed with it as it was pretty flat, gravity really didn’t treat this thing well. I decided that this recipe would be perfect to adapt to pancakes, so I started experimenting away. Low and behold, here’s a great pancake recipe that I’m certain you’ll enjoy!

Trust me on this one – it’s fall season of the year, and this will be a treat to anyone – keto dieters or not.
