Steps to make delicious keto pancakes

Pancakes

  1. Your first step will be to form a batter from the main ingredients. That’s eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix everything using a whisk or a fork.
  2. Preheat cast iron skillet and add 1/2 tsp of butter. Use a medium ladle to add your first pancake batter into the skillet.
  3. Cook on small heat until lightly brown on one side, then carefully flip using a silicone spatula.
  4. Continue cooking on the other side until done, making sure not to burn it.
  5. Remove pancake from the skillet using a silicone spatula and stack on a wide plate.
  6. Repeat the entire process until the whole butter is gone, making sure to add 1/2 tsp of butter before each pancake.

Toppings / Decoration

  1. One the pancakes are ready, let’s cook the apple slices.
  2. Use a kitchen knife to slice the apple in thin round slices and add them into the heated pan.
  3. Add 1 tsp of butter and only cook the apple slices on one side. You can even add one sprinkle of vanilla powder if you want.
  4. Portion the pancakes into 4 servings, decorating each one with 3-4 slices of cooked apples. Add one big raspberry on top and 1 tbsp of cranberries as a side.
  5. Ta-daa! You are now ready yo eat delicious pancakes.

The pancakes can be upgraded!

You can definitely serve these keto pancakes as I did |with apple slices cooked in butter and fresh berries on the side) or you can add your favorite “extras”.

When it comes to adding extra flavor to pancakes, you have many options to choose from. Here are my favorites (feel free to let me know your favorites in the comments!):

  • nut butters – cashew butter or peanut butter (organic please)
  • melted dark chocolate
  • home chocolate mousse prepared using coconut
  • low-carb marmalade or jam (no additives and preservatives, please!)
  • creme fraîche or sour cream (40% fat and grass-fed, preferably unpasteurized)
  • full-fat whipped cream (homemade, from grass-fed sour cream)
  • frozen cherries or sour cherries

And the list can go on and on! And do you know why? Well … because these easy keto pancakes are limitless! This is how “good-for-you” they are. Packed with real nutrients, easy to make and they also taste amazing. Pure delish!

Notes

The berries and the sweet and sour apple come to compliment the sweetness of the pancakes. Since bananas are sweet enough already, there’s no need for extra sweetener.
Feel free to use any type of berries you want, I used raspberries and cranberries just because that’s what I had at the time.
