Keto Pancake Mix with Almond and Coconut Flour

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Blanched Almond flour(blanched & finely ground recommended)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut flour
  • 1 Tbs Stevia
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions for Mix:

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl (I double or triple the recipe). Put into an air tight storage container and use as needed.


To make pancakes:

  • 5 large Egg
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened Almond Milk (I use Fairview low-fat milk)
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (I use regular vegetable oil)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I use Mexican Vanilla)
  • 1 1/4 Cup of Pancake Mix

Instructions to make pancakes:

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. (Batter should be the consistency of typical pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. Don't add too much, or the pancakes will be too "wet".)

Preheat an oiled pan or griddle (wipe the bottom of the pan or griddle with a little veggie oil) on the stove over medium-low to medium heat or on a griddle at medium heat.  Drop the batter onto the hot pan and form into circles.
