Pancakes with Cream Cheese Topping

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

Pancakes are one of the many breakfast foods that are almost always too high in carbs for the keto diet when prepared traditionally. This is the ultimate flour-less low carb, high fat pancake recipe. The main ingredients to hold the pancakes together are eggs and cottage cheese, which get slightly crispy on the outside when cooked.

Once crisp, we serve with a rich pesto cream cheese topping and sliced onions to cut through the deep savory flavors. You’ll be sure to love this one!
