Key Ingredients for Keto Puff Pancakes
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Large eggs: these act as the "magic ingredient" that makes the pancake puff up without needing baking powder.
- Almond flour: it's fine texture prevents the finished pancake from feeling gritty.
- Coconut flour: used in combination with almond flour to provide structure.
- Heavy whipping cream: this provides the necessary healthy fats and moisture to create a rich, creamy batter.
- Monkfruit sweetener: a low-carb sugar substitute used to sweeten the batter without adding extra carbs.
- Butter: used in ther skillet to prevent sticking and to help the pancake edges crisp up and brown while baking.
Dutch Baby Ingredient Substitutions
- Dairy-Free Batter: swap the heavy cream for coconut milk or almond milk to remove dairy while keeping the moisture.
- Alternative toppings: if you aren't a fan of chocolate, you can replace the sugar-free chocolate syrup with sugar-free caramel sauce.
- Fruit topping: swap strawberries for fresh raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
Variations for Keto Dutch Baby
- Savory Herb and Cheese: Omit the sweetener and vanilla, then whisk in fresh chives and shredded Gruyere for a savory brunch option.
- Lemon Poppy Seed: add fresh lemon zest and a teaspoon of poppy seeds to the batter, serving it with a dusting of powdered monkfruit and a drizzle of sugar-free lemon curd.
- Cinnamon Swirl: whisk a cinnamon sweetener blend into a small portion of the batter and swirl it through the top before baking for a "cinnamon roll" effect.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover dutch baby in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in a microwave for 20-30 seconds or in the air fryer at 350 degrees until heated through.
