I don’t EVER comment on recipes, but I was looking for something filling and easy for breakfast and this sounded perfect, as these are pretty staple ingredients many of us have to hand (I always try to have a large pot of Aldi unsalted, unsweetened peanut butter in the cupboard, and my current one was, luckily, smooth). I added a pump of gingerbread sugar free coffee syrup for some sweetness and these pancakes puff up wonderfully – I couldn’t have distinguished them from regular American style pancakes and they’re really filling (I actually got 5 very small pancakes from the batch, as I wasn’t convinced they’d have the structural integrity of a regular size, but they absolutely do, but that worked out fine, as I had 2 to snack on while I cooked the next three!). They browned very fast, so I might turn the heat down more next time, but they were thoroughly cooked through and not spoiled for it.
Interestingly, they don’t taste overwhelmingly of peanut butter, which I thought might’ve made them too nutty- the impressive fluffiness seems to really combat that heaviness expected from the peanut butter.
I’m now really curious to see how tahini would work in this recipe, as I adore the flavour of sesame, and this could really replicate the flavour of so many sweet sesame products now off the table for me.
There seems to be plenty of margin for error with these, so I think it’s pretty hard to mess them up (and I speak from bitter experience of the catastrophic failure of my last, and only other, attempt to make pancakes – thin ones with almond flour – which resulted in a clump/dollop of gelatinous mess in the middle of the pan)
I added a bit of The Skinny Food Co Toffee Apple syrup for that lovely comforting real pancake experience (I could probably have managed without the gingerbread syrup addition in the mix, but it didn’t make them too sickly, so I might just work my way through my wide selection of other sugar-free coffee syrups).
As Shrove Tuesday is looming, I’m wondering if this can be adjusted to make more of a crepe style pancake to serve with fresh lemon juice, as we in the UK traditionally make thinner pancakes (especially for “pancake day”). I suspect it would require removal of the baking powder (as our thin pancakes aren’t fluffy), so I’m not sure they would have the required structure to hold up to spreading thinly and flipping.
I might have a play around, though- as I love the ease of these, and I will definitely be including them into my regular quick Keto options

This comment is to anyone on the fence about making them- DON’T SLEEP ON THESE!!! They’re amazing, the most pancake like keto recipe I’ve ever tried and how simple it is baffles me. I’ve also never felt compelled to leave a comment before, but this was genius.

I had a jar of cashew butter I happened to buy on sale. All I can say is OMG!!! If you can, try it. I added a pinch of salt and a scant teaspoon of powdered Swerve and poached a few blues in a bit of keto pancake syrup to serve on top. Mmmm…

So quick to make and I love that it is one serving. Mid week pancakes are easy now! Thanks Paola

In reply to Louise. If you want a more peanut flavor then just put sone on top of the finished pancakes

Wow, Paola!
I thought I had my favorite keto pancake recipe so I wasn’t in a hurry to try this.
My mistake! Your recipe is amazing. Light and fluffy like a pancake should be. The recipe is so easy too! I will use it for a fast treat as well as breakfast for my family when they visit.
By the way, I used Macadamia nut butter since I’ve been too lazy lately to make peanut butter. ;-0
