Just 4 Ingredients needed to make these Flourless Keto Low Carb Vanilla Ricotta Pancakes! Just 1 total carb per serving!

4 Ingredient Keto Ricotta Pancakes

When all you need is just 4 ingredients to make a quick and easy breakfast, you never have to feel deprived on a sugar-free, low carb diet.

Simple recipes like these are what can keep you feeling satisfied and happy and ready to take on the day ahead!

How To Make Keto Ricotta Pancakes

You just need 4 main ingredients to make these easy keto pancakes. 2 optional ingredients if you like a bit of sweetness to your pancakes.

Ingredients

You need eggs, ricotta cheese, whey protein powder, I used vanilla, but unflavored is fine, and baking powder. Optional ingredients; I like a pinch of salt in these, totally optional, and I use vanilla stevia but you can leave it out.

Directions

Add all ingredients to a blender or whisk together by hand.

Heat coconut oil in a skillet on medium high heat.

Use 1/4 cup to measure batter for each pancake.

Free form pancakes or use an english muffin mold in skillet to form pancakes.

Allow to cook 2-3 minutes on one side or until you see bubbles forming around edges and center. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more on other side.

Makes a total of 8 pancakes, serving size is 2.

Recommended Protein Powders

I’ve been experimenting a lot with protein powder lately, using it for my Cloud Bread Loaf and rolls, grilled cheese and French Toast so I knew a little protein powder might just work with eggs for a pancake, even without typical flour being used.

Cream cheese is used a lot in many low carb recipes and many times I’m just not a fan of it. That’s why I adapted my Cloud Bread with sour cream instead.

I’ve also tried my friend Melissa’s very popular Cream Cheese Pancakes when I tried an egg fast a while back. They were delicious and perfect if you can’t have protein powder, but I wanted to eat so many of them because they just weren’t filling me up.

My favorite protein powder that doesn’t have a bunch of ingredients you can’t even pronounce is Jay Robb’s brand. I use the vanilla flavor in these keto pancakes.

Can I make these Fluffy Keto Pancakes?

If you’re looking for a thick and fluffy kind of pancake, these will not be what you want. Try my Coconut Flour Pancakes in my cookbook for that kind.

But they are spectacular for a quick light breakfast when you don’t don’t want the typical eggs you’ve been eating.

You could try my Pumpkin pancakes if you’re looking for thicker, fluffy traditional type pancakes.

Best Sugar Free Syrups

The brown syrup you see on top is actually sugar free syrup made by Sukrin, called Sukrin Gold Fiber Syrup. I love it and so do the kids!

Allulose in liquid form is a wonderful syrup. Not as sweet and not brown in color but still delicious.

Lankanto has a sugar free maple syrup which is also good, though not as thick as the Sukrin syrup.

BEST TIPS FOR KETO RICOTTA PANCAKES

You don’t need to make these as large and flat as I did. You could pour batter in an English Muffin ring mold to make them perfectly round and a little thicker if that’s what you like. You could also try using mason jar lids as forms as well.

You really don’t need any sweetener since the protein powder will have sweetener in it. But me and the kids do like it better sweeter so we use vanilla stevia, but feel free to refer to my conversion chart for a substitute amount of another sweetener to use.

You can use butter instead of coconut oil to fry pancakes if you prefer.

You can even skip the sweetener if you don’t care for sweet pancakes.

If you’re on a very low carb diet or can’t do protein powder you may be able to sub the protein powder with some almond flour although I haven’t tried that.

Nutrition info does not include oil to fry pancakes.

You could even make these as a wrap with some crumbled cooked sausage and cheese in the middle, YUMMO!

Banana Oat Protein Pancakes: [Gluten Free] & 10 Christmas Breakfast Recipes

Brenda Bennett — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 12:10:56 +0000

A stack of delicious but healthy oat protein pancakes right there and you can’t see the healthy right? BUT the healthy is there!

If you seen some of my other protein pancakes then you’ll know the secret ingredients that makes them light and fluffy. These are made with oatmeal, egg whites and a surprise……cottage cheese!

Could you feed your family these? Of course! Otherwise I would have made them a single serving, this batter makes 16! My kids PREFER these pancakes over anything! It all started with blueberry oat pancakes then I made some pumpkin oat and my pickiest child, my 12 year old son, said If I made pancakes like this all the time, he’d eat them! And eat them he did! So now this is what I serve my kids!

Made with a LOT of egg whites BUT when you buy a carton of them it is much easier. ‘Course you could just use eggs too, probably about 8 eggs. You could also try doing 4 eggs and 1 cup of egg whites as well.

Since it’s Christmas Eve here are some other delicious but healthy breakfasts you might enjoy:

Brenda’s Notes:

You could sub the egg whites with 8 eggs.
If you don’t have liquid stevia you can use powdered, here’s my stevia conversion chart.
If you don’t like stevia you can certainly sub another sweetener of choice.
