Low Carb Pumpkin Pancake Recipe
Learn how to make Keto Pumpkin Pancakes with
quality ingredients that taste as good as the
local diner. In this recipe we pack in as much
pumpkin flavor as possible while eliminating all
the refined grains and sugars that are usually
used in fall recipes. You can feel good about
serving these low carb pumpkin pancakes to the
whole family each autumn.
Is Pumpkin Keto? Pumpkin, as well as most fall
and winter squash are perfectly acceptable on a
keto diet. A typical 1/2 cup serving of pumpkin
puree contains around 10 grams of carbs, and 3
grams of fiber which results in 7 grams of net
carbs. While this is more than most fruits and
vegetables that are typically considered keto
friendly, you can use pumpkin to flavor different
keto recipes while keeping the total carb count
relatively low. Pumpkin also has a number of
benefits to immunity, eye health, and health skin.

How to Find Pumpkin Puree Thats Keto
Friendly Its pretty easy really. Most items
that are labeled Pumpkin Puree are good for a low
carb keto diet. What you want to look out for is
anything labeled as Pumpkin Pie Filling or
Pumpkin Pie Mix. These are usually found right
next to the canned pumpkin puree and are used for
making pumpkin pie. These contain over 20 grams
of carbs per serving and should be avoided on a
ketogenic diet. Theses cans will last for a long
time in your pantry so as soon as I see them hit
the store shelves each year I like to stock up
on them. Sometimes there will be shortages when
you really need them around Thanksgiving time.

How Do You Make Pumpkin Pancakes Keto? The
Ingredients Almond Flour Blanched and finely
ground almond flour is best because it will
result in fluffy pancakes. You want to avoid
almond meal because it is more coarsely ground
and will leave you with flat pancakes. Coconut
Flour This is super important to give this
pumpkin pancake recipe a cake-like
texture. Pumpkin Puree This is where you get
your pumpkin flavor from and it also adds plenty
of moisture. Milk There are plenty of milk
alternatives out there that we like to use to
make low carb keto recipes. Unsweetened almond
milk and coconut milk are our two
favorites. Erythritol This low carb sweetener
is what gives this pumpkin pancake recipe its
classic sweetness. Stevia Combined with
erythritol this will make for a sweet and
delicious pancake despite being low carb and
sugar free.

Eggs Eggs are what hold this whole thing
together and the addition of whipped egg whites
will help your keto pumpkin pancakes become tall
and fluffy. Butter You gotta have that buttery
flavor in any pancake recipe you make. We add
some to the batter and we also like to cook our
pancakes in butter. Baking Powder Baking
powder is necessary to get the pancakes to rise.
Without it you will be left with some sad, thin
pancakes. Flavoring To flavor the pancakes we
use a combination of pumpkin spice and vanilla
extract. This gives you the fall flavors youre
looking for in this recipe.
Try Different Flavors and Additions Recipes like
this one are great because you can change up the
flavors each time you make it. We are always
trying to come up with interesting new additions
for this pancake recipe. Here are a few of our
favorites so far Pecans Pecans are the
perfect crunchy addition to pumpkin pancakes. The
flavor of the pecans compliments the pumpkin
perfectly.

Chocolate Chips There are few recipes that
arent made better by the addition of some
chocolate chips and this one is no different.
There are a variety of low carb chocolate chips
available in grocery stores now. Cream Cheese
We recently made a big batch of these pumpkin
pancakes and stacked them up with cream cheese
filling between each layer. The tangy cream
cheese is a perfect compliment to the sweet
flavors of these pancakes.
Storage and Freezing If youre going to the
trouble of making pancakes you might as well make
a bigger batch and store some for leftovers.
Store pumpkin pancakes in the refrigerator for up
to a week and tightly wrapped in the freezer for
up to a month. To warm your pumpkin pancakes just
take them out of the freezer and microwave them
for 60 seconds, or warm them in a pan with a
little butter.

Tricks for Making the Best Keto Pumpkin
Pancakes Pancakes are definitely more of an art
than a science. Especially keto pancakes because
they can sometimes be tough to flip without the
gluten used to bind together traditional
pancakes. When preparing comfort foods that are
gluten free, sugar free and low carb there are
some extra precautions needed to create
something really tasty. Use an Egg White to Make
Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes This is a trick we use in
all of our keto pancake recipes. By whisking an
egg white and gently folding it in to the batter
you will make fluffy pancakes. This is important
because keto ingredients tend to be more dense
and heavy than traditional pancake ingredients.
Beating and egg white to achieve stiff peaks,
and then folding it into the batter with a
spatula will add some height and fluff to your
keto breakfast.

Use Stevia and Erythritol for Sweetness For
sugar free cooking keto cooking we love using a
combination of stevia and erythritol. The
combination is important because if you only use
one type of sweetener for your sweet keto recipes
then you will start to detect an unpleasant
aftertaste. We always use one highly concentrated
sweetener like stevia, and a granular sweetener
like erythritol. If youre confused by your
options for sweeteners on a keto diet then read
our comprehensive post on keto sweeteners before
making your next sweet keto treat. Add Pumpkin
Pie Spice for More Pumpkin Flavor If you add too
much pumpkin puree to your recipe you will end up
with lots of carbs in this dish. For that reason
we like to add a healthy dose of p umpkin pie
spice to our batter. This amps up the pumpkin
flavor without increasing the carbs in these keto
pancakes. This magical pumpkin spice blend is a
combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and
allspice. It is what you think of when you dream
about fall flavors. For even more pumpkin flavor
you can add pumpkin extract to this keto recipes,
but we have found it to be unnecessary.
9
Use Almond Flour and Coconut Flour There are
certain recipes that just need both coconut flour
and almond flour to come out great and this is
one of them. Each gluten free flour option has
its own pros and cons. Coconut flour is highly
absorbent and creates wonderful bread-like
textures, but it can often result in dry and
crumbly recipes. Almond flour has a toasty
flavor and is very low carb, but it is calorie
dense and not very absorbent. The keto pancake
batter uses just a bit of coconut flour to help
things come together and create a fluffy and
bready texture.

• Know When to Flip
• This is something that takes a minute to learn
  and a lifetime to master. The typical advice on
  flipping pancakes is to wait until you start
  seeing air bubbles on the surface of the pancake.
  This means the base has solidified and you will
  be able to easily flip your pancakes. This isnt
  always the case for these keto pumpkin pancakes.
  When you start seeing bubbles on the surface of
  your low carb pumpkin pancakes you will want to
  wait another minute or two. Keto pancakes do not
  hold together as well as traditional ones so you
  need to be cautious.
• IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE FLIPPING THE PANCAKES TRY
  THIS
• If your batter is too dry you can add a few more
  splashes of unsweetened almond milk, or
  whichever milk option you are using for this
  recipe.
• If your batter is too wet you can add a few
  teaspoons of coconut flour to help thicken it.
• Put a lid on the pan while you are cooking the
  keto pumpkin pancakes. This will help cook them
  through faster by recirculating some of the steam
  that is being released. This will make it easier
  to flip when the time comes.
• Make smaller pancakes if none of the above
  options have worked for you. Thats the easiest
  fix of all. The smaller your keto pumpkin
  pancakes are, the easier they will be to flip.
• Serve with Butter, Syrup or Whipped Cream
• Now for the tough decisions What are you going
  to top your keto pumpkin pancakes with? Im a
  big fan of using as many quality ingredients as
  possible so I like to top mine with some good
  quality butter and maybe even some homemade
  whipped cream. If you think it is blasphemy to
  eat pancakes without syrup then you have some
  options to choose from for a good pancake syrup.
• There are a number of sugar free pancake syrup
  options available these days. Here are a few of
  our favorites
