Can you eat Blueberries on Keto?
Yes. Blueberries are a great option for those following the keto diet. Not only are they full of antioxidants and vitamins, but one cup contains only 8 grams of net carbohydrates. That means you can enjoy these pancakes without worrying about going over your daily carb limit.
Tips for Making This Easy Keto Blueberry Pancakes Recipe
Mix dry ingredients first. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sifting the flour can also help to make the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
Do NOT over mix. You want those small lumps of batter in your pancake mix, they are vital to making pancakes fluffy. If you over-mix the batter you will end up with tough, unfluffy pancakes.
Don’t flip your pancakes too soon (or too late). When you see the bubbles starting to pop flip that pancake over! Overcooking pancakes will also make them tough and unfluffy.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Heat your pan. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. You can also add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Use a non-stick pan, non-stick skillet or griddle. A non-stick pan or griddle will ensure that your pancakes don’t stick and will result in evenly cooked pancakes. It is also important that you grease your pan well if you are not using a nonstick pan. Pancakes will stick to a pan if it is not greased enough.
Can I Use Almond Flour Instead of Coconut Flour?
I do not recommend using almond flour instead of coconut flour. This is because they are not a 1 to 1 ratio. You can not simply swap the same amount of almond flour for coconut flour.
How many pancakes does this recipe make?
This recipe will make 7 average sized pancakes, you can make the pancakes larger or smaller if you want to. This recipe will also work to make mini blueberry keto pancakes.
How to Serve Homemade Pancakes
There are many ways to serve freshly made pancakes.
- Fresh fruit. Pancakes go well with fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Be sure that you are only using a low carb fruit to keep them low carb.
- Syrup. Maple syrup is a classic pancake topping, but you can also use fruit syrups like blueberry syrup, honey, or agave nectar. You can warm up the syrup in a saucepan or in the microwave for a few seconds to make it more runny. Just be sure you are using a sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free fruit syrup to keep your breakfast low carb.
- Butter. Melted butter is a simple but delicious topping for pancakes. You can use salted or unsalted butter, depending on your preference.
What to serve with low carb Pancakes
When we have pancakes I also like to include sides, especially if we are making breakfast for dinner. There are lots of tasty sides to serve with pancakes for breakfast. Some of our favorites are:
Meat. Bacon, Sausage, and pork roll are great protein sides to serve. Pancakes pair well with them all. You can serve them on the side or chop them up and mix them into the pancake batter before cooking
Eggs: Pancakes and scrambled eggs make a classic breakfast combo. You can serve them on the same plate or as separate dishes. You can also serve them with hardboiled eggs, jammy eggs, poached eggs or sunny side up eggs.
Fruit. You can serve these pancakes with a side of fruit or fresh berries. Be sure that you are adding low carb fruits so you are sticking to the grams of carbs that you need to. If you are unsure of what fruits you can have on the keto diet, be sure to check out the best fruits to eat on the keto diet.
Can the Keto Pancakes Be Made Ahead of Time?
Yes. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave or warm them up in a skillet with a bit of butter before serving.
I like to make larger batches of pancakes and then put them in the freezer so it is easy for me to grab them out, heat them up and enjoy them on busy mornings. This recipe can easily be doubled and tripled to make a lot of pancakes so you can have them in the freezer ready to go.
How to Store Leftover Blueberry Pancakes
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze Keto Blueberry Pancakes?
Yes! I love making large batches and then freezing them.
How to Store Frozen Pancakes in Bundles
I like to make large batches of pancakes and then freeze them in serving size bundles.
- Let the pancakes cool. After cooking the pancakes, let them cool down to room temperature before freezing. This will prevent them from getting soggy when they are frozen.
- Stack the Pancakes. Once cooled stack the pancakes with 3-4 pancakes per stack.
- Wrap the Pancakes. Using plastic wrap, wrap the stack of pancakes in the plastic wrap. Once they are all wrapped place the wrapped stacks of pancakes into a large freezer bag.
- Freeze the pancakes. Place the bag of pancakes into the freezer. Be sure to Label the container with the date of freezing so you can keep track of how long they have been frozen. Put the container with the pancakes in the freezer and freeze them for up to 2 months.
How to Reheat Frozen Pancakes
To reheat the frozen pancakes, you can use a toaster, microwave, or oven. Toaster and oven methods will give you a crispy texture, while the microwave will make the pancakes softer.
We prefer to heat them in the microwave as we like our pancakes softer. It takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute to reheat the stack of 3-4 pancakes while still wrapped in plastic wrap. If you are reheating individual pancakes place them on a plate and heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on how many you are reheating.
