Easy Low Carb Pancakes Recipe

When I began experimenting with the ingredients for these pancakes, I had a couple of epic fails. Working with coconut flour and alternate ingredients in place of all purpose flour, is very different, but it’s all about ratio and the type of ingredients that work well together. As usual, when you decrease carbs in general you increase fat content slightly. That being said, these pancakes are an incredibly delicious option for those avoiding white flour and gluten in their diet.

In a stand blender, combine ricotta, vanilla protein shake or milk, eggs, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder and vanilla. Process until fully combined and slightly thickened.
Heat butter over medium in a large skillet or a griddle. Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop to divide the batter. Use the back of the scoop to spread batter into roughly a 4 inch circle.
Cook in batches for 3-4 minutes per side. Watch for bubbles in the batter carefully turning with a spatula. Remove to a platter and keep warm. Additional butter may be needed between batches.
Serve with sugar free syrup, butter or your favorite toppings.

These pancakes will make a tasty start to any day and they come together in a snap. Fry them on a griddle or in a large pan or cast iron skillet until they’re cooked through, set and ready to serve.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Low Carb Pancakes: Whole fat ricotta cheese, for the liquid use a vanilla protein shake or whole milk, coconut flour, large eggs, granulated sweetener such as Swerve or similar, baking powder and vanilla extract. You’ll also need butter for frying.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, skillet or griddle for frying and turning spatula.
I don’t often have almond milk on hand, but we usually do have prepared protein shakes on hand for between meal snacking. I choose to use a vanilla protein shake for the liquid portion of this pancake recipe and it works like a charm. You may even find that no additional vanilla or sweetener is needed. Taste and adjust the amounts to your taste.
Coconut flour is just what it sounds like. It’s made from coconut flesh that has been dried and ground into a powder. It’s gluten free and quite delicious. It’s also very absorbent and not quite as stable as all purpose flour or even almond flour so, don’t be tempted to use more or less, than what’s called for in the recipe.
These pancakes reheat quite well and can be frozen, too. Place wax paper between them and reheat gently in the microwave.
Store leftover low carb pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze them for up to 1 month.
