These low-carb gluten-free gingerbread pancakes taste like Christmas! Made with coconut flour and gingerbread spice, they are perfect.
Recipe For Low-Carb Gingerbread
One of the classic flavors of the holiday season is gingerbread. You’ll find it in gingerbread houses, as the flavor of gingerbread coffee, and even in keto gingerbread cake.
These pancakes have the same flavors and taste that you associate with Christmas and winter holidays.
As it fries on the skillet, you will smell the cloves and ginger and it will make your mouth water. This is one of my favorite keto pancake recipes, and I am thrilled to share it with you today.
Gingerbread Pancakes
So, what is gingerbread spice? There are a handful of spices that, when you combine them, smell just like holiday gingerbread spices. I used vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
Put them together and you have the taste of gingerbread without the sugar!
I used granulated sweetener as the sugar substitute, but you can use a liquid one too if you want. Just make sure that it dissolves in the batter completely.
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Pancakes
The secret to making gluten-free pancakes taste and feel fluffy is a combination of coconut flour, eggs, and softened cream cheese. You won’t even miss the flour or gluten. And the best part is, you don’t need any xanthan gum!
There are lots of ways to enjoy these scrumptious gluten-free pancakes too! Top it with some sugar-free whipped cream and sprinkle it with some cinnamon. Or, dust the pancakes with some sugar-free confectioner’s sugar substitute. Sometimes, simple is best!
If you want to eat the pancakes for lunch, then spread your favorite ket0-friendly nut butter on top. Then, add some scrambled eggs and you have a complete meal.
Low-Carb Gingerbread Pancakes
All the exact steps are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. You will need a food processor or a blender of some sort. That’s the best way to really combine all the ingredients into a smooth batter.
The batter must be really smooth or else the pancakes will have a distracting texture.
If you think the batter is too thick, add about 2 tablespoons of water. Be careful not to add too much water though. The batter should be slightly thick so it fries evenly.
How To Store Keto Pancakes
These pancakes freeze beautifully too. Then, all you have to do is put a frozen pancake in the toaster and they are ready for your breakfast.
To freeze them, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Then, put the baking sheet in the freezer. Once all of the pancakes are completely frozen, place them in a freezer-safe food storage bag. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.
If you don’t freeze them, then place them in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After about 3 days the quality will deteriorate.
