WHAT ARE COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES?
Keto coconut flour pancakes are fluffy, low carb, and gluten-free, made with coconut flour instead of regular white flour. I have tried several Keto pancake breakfast recipes, but most turned out flat like crepes. I dunno about you, but I'm more of a fluffy pancake kinda girl. The addition of cream cheese makes these the best coconut flour pancakes, I promise.
INGREDIENTS IN LOW CARB COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES
You’ll only need 7 simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry if you have been following a Keto meal plan!
Coconut Flour
Heavy Cream
Plain Cream Cheese
Eggs
Natural granulated Sugar Substitute- this is the brand I use Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener
Baking Powder
Vanilla Extract
HOW TO MAKE KETO COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES
Making pancakes with coconut flour is unbelievably easy. You throw together all the ingredients and quickly cook in a frying pan like you would any breakfast pancakes. Slap some Kerry Gold Grass-Fed Butter and Keto pancake syrup on top, and your Saturday Keto breakfast is complete.
In a blender add Now Food Coconut Flour, heavy cream, Cream Cheese, eggs, Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener, baking powder, and vanilla extract and blend it all together.
I use the NutriBullet Blender. It’s much more convenient than tradition blenders. The blade twists onto the cup you add all your ingredients to and then after blending you can detach the blade part and quickly clean it. It's a game changer for breakfast smoothies too.
So now that you have your coconut flour pancake batter, grease a medium frying pan. I use Trader Joe’s Coconut Oil Spray, over medium-low heat add about 1/3 cup of batter to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Quick Tip: The recipe makes four pancakes so use about 1/4 of the batter for each pancake.
WHAT DO COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES TASTE LIKE?
I’m amazed by how much these pancakes taste like traditional pancakes, they’re nice and fluffy, slightly sweet, and so delicious that no keto-ers ask me to make these when they come over! You might notice a mild coconut flavor, but it’s not overpowering at all.
CAN YOU USE ALMOND FLOUR INSTEAD OF COCONUT FLOUR
NO! The two different flours will require different quantities and will turn out with a totally different consistency. Coconut flour is super absorbent, so this recipe only calls for three tablespoons of coconut flour to make four Keto Pancakes, which are not only low in carbs but keep the calories low too!
Coconut flour is great for anyone with a nut allergy. Since these pancakes are made with coconut flour, anyone with a nut allergy can still enjoy them.
WHAT TYPE OF COCONUT FLOUR SHOULD I USE
I have found that buying almond flour, coconut flour or really any specialty baking ingredients from traditional grocery stores is far more expensive than shopping online, so regardless of which brand you go with I would try to find one online.
Here are the two brands I buy from Amazon Now Foods Organic Coconut Flour or Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour
WHAT TO SERVE WITH COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES
I love having these pancakes alongside scrambled eggs and sausage patties. Depending on what syrup and toppings you add to your pancakes you could make your low carb pancakes a big stack of sweet or savory pancakes.
KETO-FRIENDLY PANCAKE SYRUP
Syrup can make or break a good batch of pancakes, but the struggle is real when it comes to finding a Keto Maple pancake syrup that isn't high in calories, carbs and is packed with artificial sweeteners. To be honest, I haven’t found a perfect low-carb maple syrup, they either have a weird aftertaste or really awful ingredients. So for now these are three options I recommend:
Walden Farms Pancake Syrup- You could put this syrup in an Aunt Jemima bottle and fool everyone. Although it has zero calories and is sugar-free, but it doesn’t have the cleanest ingredients.
LOW CARB TOPPINGS TO SPRUCE UP YOUR KETO PANCAKES
Keto Blue Berry Pancakes - drop a few blueberries in your pancake batter once in the frying pan or top your pancakes with blueberries on your plate.
Extra Coconut Pancakes- sprinkle your Keto pancakes with unsweetened coconut flakes.
Chocolate chip Keto Pancakes- Sprinkle a few sugar-free chocolate chips in your batter.
Chocolate-drizzled pancakes- instead of Keto maple syrup, try Lakanto Sugar-free Chocolate syrup.
Nutty Pancakes- Crush up some walnuts or your favorite nut and sprinkle on top. Tips for the best Keto coconut Flour Pancakes

WHY DO OTHER COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES FALL APART
Coconut flour batter doesn’t stick together as well as regular flour, but that’s why for this recipe you’ll be adding cream cheese. Adding some type of fat can help hold things together better.
HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR COCONUT FLOUR PANCAKES DON’T TURN OUT GRITTY
You don’t have to worry about these pancakes turning out gritty because you will be using plenty of eggs. Eggs provide structure to baked goods and add some moisture. However, if you have used the coconut flour you have on hand for another baked goods recipe you could try sifting the coconut flour before adding to the recipe.
