Keto Pancakes that are this delicious bring back vivid childhood memories of waking up on Sunday morning to my dad making us homemade pancakes.
I love hot pancakes with butter and cold syrup. This keto pancakes recipe is made with cream cheese to keep them low carb friendly!
I am not one to make pancakes from scratch very often because I like to keep it easy and I hate standing at the stove for an hour flipping pancakes. These keto pancakes are so easy, I have made them 3 times this week!
My trick is to throw all of the ingredients into my single serve blender cup that came with my Ninja blender! I pulse it a few times, let the mixture sit for a minute while my skillet heats up, and then pour each pancake into the pan, straight from the blender cup. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
CREAM CHEESE PANCAKES
The ingredients in these keto pancakes recipe are not going to make a super fluffy pancake. Thats what makes these cream cheese pancakes easy because they lack ingredients that would be needed to make them fluffy. Less ingredients = less work. I’m okay with that, and I actually find really fluffy pancakes get heavy in my tummy. Blech.
The lemon zest in these keto pancakes packs a huge punch of flavor without adding to the carb count…score! I know what you’re thinking…what am I going to do with this darn lemon now? Well, I would totally make my Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme or my Keto Chicken Salad! They are both amazing!
I have another low carb pancake recipe that uses protein powder for an extra protein punch. Check out my recipe for Protein Pancakes!
I eat these keto cream cheese pancakes slathered in butter and sugar free syrup. I’m on the hunt for a sucralose free, sugar free syrup…do you have a favorite?

1. Lemon is one of THE bets flavours, ever.
2. Pancakes are the best breakfast, ever.
3. This sounds incredible.
Truthfully, I didn’t used to like pancakes, not the American kind anyway, but recently I’ve been eating them more and more and I’ve fallen in love with them. Such a great start to the day and even better that it’s low-carb! Awesome recipe, and great photos.
We lived in Germany for 4 years and I never tried German pancakes. I so wish I had!
If it has lemon in it, I will eat it! Love that this is on the healthy side too! Thanks for sharing!

Yum! I love pancakes but need to cut back on the carbs. This sounds like a great recipe!
So good and good for you too! Thanks ?
Love these low carb pancakes and the lemon zest is a great idea!
Almond flour is great! I use it often. Will give this recipe a try.
What delicious pancakes and great that they are low carb:-)
Yum! I’ve never had low carb pancakes but these look delicious! I love the addition of lemon zest. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love that you used almond flour for these low carb pancakes. I will be definitely making them. Thanks for awesome recipe.
My Mum made pancakes yesterday I really wanted lemon and sugar pancakes, I resisted, so I am definitely giving these a go !
Do you realize if you replace the almond flour with whey protein powder you get cheesecake ingredients ! I wonder if they would taste like cheesecake ?
Let me know if you try it, Claudia! A nice protein boost!
I’ve not tried other recipes to have a comparison, but these are outstanding! Simple to make, one of the lowest in carbs too. Very versatile with flavor combos. Thank you!!!
So glad you liked them!
I love the bubbles in that pictures. Made this recipe and is so good. Probably my favorite low carb pancake on the internet.
Best Keto Pancakes!!!
Will definitely make again!
The lemon is definitely THE SECRET INGREDIENT!!!
Added 2 drops Now Brand Lemon Twist Stevia!!!
So glad you liked the recipe!
