Pancakes without wheat flour and sugar offer a great alternative for those on a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet. Instead of traditional ingredients, we use almond flour and eggs, which provide the pancakes with the right texture and a delicate taste. This not only makes them delicious but also rich in healthy fats, making them perfect for the keto diet.
Recipe for flourless and sugar-free pancakes
Pancakes without flour and sugar are an excellent way to diversify the keto diet. They are tasty, nutritious, and perfect for both breakfast and snacks.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of almond milk (or another unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil (for frying)
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for taste)
Pancakes prepared in the ketogenic version have significantly fewer carbohydrates than traditional pancakes, so they do not raise blood sugar levels. Almond flour is an excellent source of healthy fats and fiber, providing a long-lasting feeling of fullness. Additionally, they are quick to prepare and can be served in various ways, both savory and sweet, with the addition of keto-friendly fruits or creams.
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, mix almond flour, eggs, almond milk, and a pinch of salt until it forms a smooth, uniform batter.
- Heat a bit of coconut oil in a pan, then pour a small amount of batter to form a thin pancake.
- Fry on medium heat for about 2 minutes on one side until the pancake sets and turns golden.
- Gently flip to the other side and fry for another minute. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Additional tips:
- You can add your favorite keto-compliant toppings to the pancakes, such as peanut butter, sugar-free heavy cream, or small amounts of blueberries or strawberries.
- If you prefer a fluffier texture, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
