Key Points to Consider
Flour Substitute: Traditional flour is replaced with low-carb alternatives such as almond flour or coconut flour to keep the pancakes keto-friendly.
Eggs: Eggs help bind the ingredients and provide structure to the pancakes. They also contribute to the fluffy texture.
Sweeteners: Use keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or stevia instead of sugar to keep the carb count low.
Cooking Temperature: Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning. Adjust the heat as needed.
Tips and Tricks
Mixing Batter: Combine wet and dry ingredients separately before mixing them together to ensure an even consistency and avoid lumps.
Resting the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes to help the pancakes achieve a better texture.
Cooking Surface: Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Flip Carefully: Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake before flipping to ensure a golden brown color and a cooked-through center.
