Cooking Tips:
Choose the Proper Low-Carb Flour
Ditch the regular crust and use almond or coconut flour for a low-carb base. Use less carbs by avoiding regular flour.
Use a Low-Carb Sweetener
Sweeten with stevia, erythritol or monk fruit. This helps keep carbs low, and flavor high.
Ensure Pancakes are Firm
Cook over medium-low heat, so it doesn’t break. Allow pancakes to brown before flipping.
Add Protein for Structure
Tip with protein powder or cheese to not crumble. Assists a pancake with protein and a muscle.
Use Healthy Fats
Include butter, coconut oil or avocado oil for richness.) These fats make the flavor and texture better.
Customize Your Fillings
Fill with berries, cream cheese or avocado. They can be adapted sweet or savory, to taste.

INGREDIENT NOTES :
Flour Power: Nut-Based Goodness
If you’re diving into low-carb cookery, the worst mistake is thinking pancakes have to lose their charm. Go for nut-based flours like almond for a rich, indulgent flavor without the carb crash.
light & Fluffy with Coconut Flour
Want something airier? Coconut flour’s your friend—but it’s super absorbent, so use it sparingly to avoid a dry, disappointing outcome.
Eggs: The Secret Weapon
Eggs are your binding force, holding it all together while sneaking in protein. They help create that satisfying, fluffy structure.
Milk That Keeps It Smooth
Use unsweetened nut milk like almond or coconut as your liquid base. It keeps the batter smooth and your carb count low.
Baking Powder = Pancake Magic
A pinch of baking powder is the lift your pancakes need. Just be sure it’s gluten-free if that matters to you.
Sweeten the Deal—Naturally
Go for natural sweeteners like erythritol or stevia. Sweeten to taste and toss in a splash of vanilla extract for an aromatic boost.
Fat Means Flavor (and Moisture)
Don’t skip the butter or coconut oil—whether in the batter or the pan, they bring richness and moisture that makes everything better.
INSTRUCTION :
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Combine almond or coconut flour with baking powder. Stir in a pinch of salt if desired.
2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
Beat the eggs, nut milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Make sure it’s well blended.
3. Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly mix wet into dry, stirring until smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep it light.
4. Optional: Add Protein Powder
