We're talking extra fluffy, absolutely delicious and easy-peasy keto pancakes! An ideal breakfast treat with only 15 minutes active time and under 1g net carb a pop.
Mix lupin flour (or fat-reduced almond flour), almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Whisk thoroughly together in a medium bowl the eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Whisk in the dry ingredients followed by the milk, a tablespoon at a time. You can play with the thickness a bit, but I found the best consistency to be with 4 TBSP (the batter is thicker than with regular pancakes, but will spread easily into a round). Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while you heat up a skillet or pan.
Add a little butter to the pan, pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, spreading it slightly to help it form a nice round (you can use a wet spoon or spatula). Cook over medium heat until the top begins to darken, flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Serve right away with toppings of choice.
Notes
*The Flours
With this recipe I'm introducing a couple new flours for you guys: lupin flour (this is the only brand I recommend) or fat-reduced almond flour! I originally recommended Sukrin, but you guys have had them sold out for months... and so thanks to you I tried Barney's Butter Powder Almond Butter, which is in essence the same thing!
Lupin flour will give youthe absolute fluffiest keto pancakes ever (!!). Just note that not all brands are equal here (at all!), and many have a lingering bitter aftertaste. So pretty please stick to the recommended brand for best results!
The big plus about lupin?! It's a great prebiotic fiber, that just so happens to be suuuper low carb and high in protein. i.e. a total keto win you guys!
Now, let's talk fat-reduced almond flour! It's similar to most peanut flours out there (such as Anthony's), in that it has been cold-pressed to remove 80% of its fat*. This essentially reduces calorie content by 50% (hooray!), and makes for some seriously fluffy baked goods (double hooray)!
**The Milk
You can do almond (or any nut) milk, half heavy cream half water, or even add some sour cream for a ‘buttermilk’ kick.
