Homemade Fluffy Keto Pancakes

I created my version of low-carb keto cream cheese pancakes that taste delicious for a quick breakfast or any meal of the day.

Lately, I’ve been talking about my wife being on a low-carb, keto diet to help get rid of some weight she gained during her pregnancy.

As an avid runner, she wants to return to the gym and adopt the active lifestyle she once had.

Part of her inspiration comes from the popular Atkins Diet, which has proven successful for many people worldwide.

You only have to look at photos and read stories on social media sites to see how the Atkins Diet has changed lives.

The most important part I like to remind my wife about is that eating should be part of a “lifestyle” and not something you do just because you think you have to do it.

I’ve read all I can about the Atkins Diet over the past few weeks, including Atkins recipes, so I could help my wife prepare or create her meals.

Although she only went through the Atkins induction stage for two weeks to jump-start her weight loss, many stay on it for a bit longer to lose more weight or control their eating habits.

The idea is to stay on induction until you lose the first 15 pounds.

Then, you can start adding carbs back into the diet.

Atkins Low-Carb Diet

The Atkins induction is rigorous and full of low-carb meals,, but if you pair this with a daily workout,, you will surely lose weight.

It’s maintaining the loss that many people struggle with.

Losing weight and maintaining my weight is about eating clean, drinking lots of water, and leading a healthy lifestyle, which I do every day, but I like my cheat days.

My wife wants to get back to living that same lifestyle with me.

Lately, she has been struggling with breakfast food ideas and getting sick of eating eggs.

She missed the occasional stack of protein pancakes or even buttermilk pancakes I would make her.

I went looking on the internet to see if I could make low-carb keto pancakes and what I could do to make them taste good.

The Best Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes

Almost all the low-carb, keto pancake recipes I found on Pinterest were the same.

I wanted to create something that was my own, but honestly, there’s not much tweaking you can do to gluten-free pancakes.

You can’t buy my pancake mix at the grocery store, but most of you may already have the ingredients in your keto pantry.

The ingredients include butter, eggs, gluten-free baking powder, pure vanilla extract, flax-seed meal, almond flour, cinnamon, cream, and Philadelphia cream cheese.

Favorite Sugar-Free Syrups

You can add salt and sugar substitutes if you like, but I didn’t bother you since my wife was planning on adding sugar-free pancake syrup.

Some of her favorite sugar-free syrups are:

• Ed Smith at the grocery store
• Walden Farms Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
• Mrs. Butterworths Sugar-Free Syrup
• Steeves Sugar-Free Canadian Maple Syrup

Alternatively, you can add flavors to these keto cream cheese pancakes, which I did by adding a vanilla extract and 35% whipping cream.

If you don’t have 35 % whipping cream, you can substitute 10% or 18% cream.

I have not tried these with almond milk or coconut cream, but you could try it and see how it works.

Making Fluffy Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes

After reading many recipes online, I decided to try something different: create a meringue with the egg whites and then fold that into the yolks.

The meringue may help fluff the pancakes up and keep them very light.

That certainly did happen but don’t expect that fluffiness to last long, as there is no gluten.

We added almond flour and flax meal, which is high in protein, to help keep the pancakes fluffy.

Alternatively, add 1/3 teaspoon of xanthan gum to help add texture and fluffiness.

As I’ve proven, creating pancakes in a traditional style is not impossible if you’re eating a low-carb or keto diet.

Keto Pancake Toppings

You’ll want to dive in and eat them with sugar-free syrup as soon as they come from the grill.

You don’t have to eat these keto cream cheese pancakes on the Atkins or any other low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diet.

Topping your cream cheese pancakes with sugar-free homemade maple syrup and fresh fruit is undoubtedly a ketogenic option.

We use fresh homemade keto mulberry jam, keto rhubarb strawberry chia jam, and sugar-free syrup.

Kids Love Keto Pancakes, Too!

We’re warriors when it comes to toppings for our keto pancakes.

Some people even add whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top.

My son and I tried these keto cream cheese pancakes, and our plates were empty within minutes.

I also appreciate that these keto cream cheese pancakes don’t make me feel bloated after eating them like regular pancakes.

Don’t get me wrong, I love traditional fluffy pancakes, but these keto cream cheese pancakes are an excellent alternative.

Tips For The Perfect Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes

Make sure to heat your pan on med-high, add butter to melt, then add a scoop of the keto cream cheese pancake batter.

They cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Be careful when flipping these gentle love puffs because they can easily fall apart. After all, the gluten is missing.

Flip them fast and eat them faster while they’re hot.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Pancakes (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)

Looking for a tasty low-carb breakfast? Try our recipe for cream cheese pancakes—a delicious and healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 tablespoon flax-seed meal
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 2 tablespoons 35% whipping cream
• 2 oz softened cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• knobs of butter for frying pancakes

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, crack your eggs, but separate the egg yolk and the egg whites into a second bowl.
2. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks, as you would for a meringue.
3. In the other bowl, mix all the other ingredients until smooth.
4. Fold the fluffed egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
5. Put a teaspoon of butter in a large skillet and let it melt on medium heat. I had the number 6 on the dial. If you have an electric griddle, I’d keep the temperature on medium heat again, as they cook pretty fast, and you don’t want them to burn.
6. Add 1/2 cup scoop in the frying pan and check on it often, as it won’t bubble like a traditional pancake, as there is no flour. Flip the pancake once it is golden brown, which should be no more than 1-2 minutes a side.
7. Add a knob of butter on top and some sugar-free maple syrup, and enjoy them hot!

You can meal prep these keto cinnamon cream cheese pancakes in advance and then freeze them for convenience.

All we do is pop a few out of the freezer and put them in the microwave, and they are ready in a minute.
