My Personal Experience

When I first came across the idea of making pancake pies, I knew I had to try it! I was amazed at how simple yet satisfying the recipe turned out. The texture was just perfect—soft on the inside with a slight crispiness on the outside. The filling was like a dream come true, adding a creamy richness that paired so well with the pancakes. I tried these for breakfast one lazy weekend, and it was such a treat that I’ve made them multiple times since. Whether you’re new to keto or a seasoned pro, these pancake pies will quickly become a family favorite!

Required Equipment

Before we dive into making these delicious Keto Pancake Pies, let’s go over what you’ll need to create them:

• Non-stick frying pan or griddle
  A good non-stick surface makes all the difference when making pancakes. I personally love using a griddle for even heat distribution, which helps the pancakes cook perfectly. It ensures the pancakes won’t stick, even without added flour.
• Mixing bowls
  You’ll need at least two—one for your wet ingredients and another for your dry ingredients. Having separate bowls helps keep everything organized, and trust me, it makes mixing everything much easier!
• Whisk
  A whisk is essential to beat the batter until smooth. I love using a hand whisk for this, as it’s easy to clean and gives great results!
• Measuring spoons and cups
  When it comes to keto baking, precise measurements are key. A good set of measuring spoons and cups will make sure your pancake pies turn out just right every time.
• Spatula
  This is a must-have for flipping the pancakes! A silicone spatula works wonders, and it won’t damage your non-stick pan.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here are the main ingredients you’ll need for this Keto Pancake Pies recipe, along with some easy substitutions if you prefer:

• Almond flour (1 cup): This is the base of our pancakes, providing that soft, light texture. You can substitute with coconut flour (but use only 1/4 of the amount since it’s more absorbent).
• Eggs (2 large): Eggs are crucial for structure and moisture in this recipe. I haven’t tried any egg replacements for this, but flax eggs might work as a vegan alternative.
• Heavy cream (1/2 cup): The cream gives the pancakes richness. You can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
• Baking powder (1 tsp): This helps the pancakes rise, giving them that fluffy texture. No substitutions here, as baking powder is key!
• Vanilla extract (1 tsp): A touch of vanilla adds depth and flavor. You can swap it with almond extract if you prefer a more nutty flavor.
• Sweetener (1-2 tbsp): I use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol, but monk fruit or stevia can work too.
• Cream cheese (4 oz, softened): This is the star of the filling. If you want a lighter version, you can use ricotta cheese.
• Butter (2 tbsp): A little butter goes a long way in making the pancakes golden brown. Ghee or coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free version.

How to Make Keto Pancake Pies

Let’s walk through the steps to make these irresistible Keto Pancake Pies!

1. Prepare the pancake batter
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Set it aside for a few minutes.
2. Cook the pancakes
   Heat your non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil, and pour in about 2-3 tablespoons of batter to form a pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat until all pancakes are cooked.
3. Make the filling
   In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add a tablespoon of sweetener (if desired) and a pinch of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Mix until creamy and smooth.
4. Assemble the pancake pies
   Take one pancake and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling on top. Place another pancake on top to form a sandwich. Repeat this process until you have several keto pancake pies.
5. Serve
   Serve the pancake pies with a dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh berries for extra flavor!

Tips for this recipe

• Don’t rush the pancakes: Make sure to cook them on low to medium heat for a perfect golden brown texture.
• Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
• Customize the filling: Feel free to add a touch of lemon zest or cocoa powder to the cream cheese filling for extra flavor.

Optional Additions

• Add-ins for the batter: Try adding some sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts like pecans for added texture and flavor.
• Toppings: For even more indulgence, top your pancake pies with whipped cream or drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup.

Serving Ideas

• These pancake pies are great for breakfast or brunch! Serve them with a side of crispy bacon or some keto-friendly sausage for a well-rounded meal.
• You can also enjoy them as a sweet afternoon snack with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Storage Recommendation

Store your Keto Pancake Pies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They also freeze well—simply place a layer of parchment paper between each pie before freezing to keep them from sticking. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or heat them in a non-stick pan over low heat for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
