How To Make Easy Keto Cream Cheese Coconut Flour Pancakes
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making these delightful pancakes.
By using coconut flour, your pancakes will turn out fluffy, lower in calories, lower in carbs, and much healthier than using regular flour.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Wet ingredients:
Eggs
Cream cheese
Heavy cream
Dry ingredients:
Coconut flour
Baking powder
Stevia (or other sugar substitutes)
Cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a large-sized mixing bowl or food mixer, combine eggs, cream cheese, and heavy cream.
Add the Dry Ingredients:
Once combined, add coconut flour, baking powder, stevia, and cinnamon to the wet mixture.
Mix Thoroughly:
Use a wire whisk or food mixer to thoroughly combine the ingredients into a pancake batter until smooth.
The batter should have a thick and creamy consistency.
If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream until you reach the desired consistency.
Preheat Your Pan:
Set the batter aside and preheat a non-stick frying pan or skillet on medium heat. Once hot, lower to low-medium heat.
Cook the Pancakes:
Lightly grease the frying pan with a small amount of butter.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread into a round shape with a ladle or measuring cup.
When bubbles start to appear on the surface, and the bottom begins to brown, flip with a spatula and cook until golden.
Repeat the steps with the remaining pancake batter.
Serve and Enjoy:
Top your finished pancakes with butter and sugar-free maple syrup for real indulgence.
I remember the first time I made these pancakes. I was skeptical about using coconut flour, but the result was amazing.
The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. My kids loved them, and I felt good knowing they were eating something healthy.
One tip I have is to experiment with different toppings. Sometimes I add a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries.
Other times, I go for a savory twist with avocado and smoked salmon, or simply a slice of butter. The possibilities are endless!

Notes
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ladle to pour your batter so to get evenly sized pancakes.
Pour from the middle, then slowly in a circular motion, so the batter forms into precise round shapes.
You do not want to rush your pancakes cooking on high heat, or flip them too soon to prevent them from falling apart. When you see bubbles start to form on top and around the side, they are ready to turn.
