Boost your protein intake with these delicious keto protein pancakes. Make them ahead and freeze them to speed up breakfast prep.
Keto Pancakes
These delicious pancakes have a rich and smooth vanilla flavor and they are really easy to customize. My recipe is so basic that you can use it as a base and build on it. Do you like chocolate? Use chocolate protein powder instead.
Maybe you’re in the mood for chocolate chips. Sprinkle them into the batter.
The options are as endless as your imagination. The best thing about these pancakes is that they don’t taste like sugar-free pancakes. There isn’t some funky aftertaste, they have the same rich flavor as regular pancakes.
Protein Powder Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my favorite keto breakfast ideas. I love how easy they are to mix up and fry. Every winter, I’ll make my keto gingerbread pancakes almost every week. The aromas of ginger and nutmeg wafting through my kitchen – it’s unbeatable.
In the fall, I am constantly making keto pumpkin spice pancakes – because pumpkin is just the ultimate fall flavor. Then, keto strawberry pancakes are the ultimate spring breakfast.
These keto protein pancakes are the perfect breakfast to make all year long. There is nothing seasonal about them. Whenever you are craving pancakes, whip up a batch of these!
Keto Protein Pancakes
There are two pancakes in each serving of keto protein pancakes and 1 gram net carbs in each serving. You read that right – you can eat two (normal-sized) pancakes and only eat 1 gram net carb.
That gives you plenty of carbs left to add food on the side with them. Add a cheesy breakfast casserole on the side. It’s full of protein, and you can add your favorite veggies to it.
Or change up the textures and enjoy some crispy and savory keto breakfast roll-ups. They rival the traditional breakfast burrito with a lot few carbs.
How To Freeze Pancakes
These are the perfect pancakes to freeze and make ahead for later. To freeze them, let them cool completely first. Then, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and put the baking sheet in the freezer.
Once they are completely frozen, place them in a resealable freezer-safe food storage bag. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
Then, you can just place them in the toaster to reheat them. Or reheat them in the microwave.
What To Put On Top Of Keto Pancakes
Another thing I enjoy about these pancakes is that there is an almost limitless possibility of toppings for them. Drizzle some sugar-free syrup on top. Or, dust them with Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute.
Add your favorite low-carb fruit as a healthy topping along with some low-carb nuts (like pecans or almonds).
