Keto Skillet Pancake for Two – A Simple, Fluffy, Low-Carb Treat

There’s something comforting about a warm pancake straight out of the skillet. It’s the kind of breakfast (or dessert, I won’t judge) that makes you feel like you’ve got life figured out—even if just for a few minutes. But if you’re cutting carbs, traditional pancakes aren’t exactly the best choice. That’s where this Keto Skillet Pancake for Two comes in.

Fluffy, golden, slightly crisp around the edges, and just the right size to share—or keep to yourself if you’re feeling extra hungry. No flipping, no fuss, and best of all, it won’t wreck your carb count for the day.

Let’s get into it.

• Perfect for Two – Whether it’s you and a partner, a friend, or just you and your appetite, this hits the spot.
• Customizable – Add berries, nuts, or sugar-free syrup. Make it your own.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing fancy, just simple ingredients you probably already have if you’re doing keto.

Dry Ingredients

• ½ cup almond flour
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener (or any keto-friendly sweetener)

Wet Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 3 tbsp heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free option)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

Optional Add-Ins

• Handful of blueberries (low-carb but add natural sweetness)
• Sugar-free chocolate chips
• Chopped pecans or walnuts
• Dash of cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Turn your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab an oven-safe 6–8 inch skillet (cast iron is best, but any oven-proof pan works). Grease it well with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Stuff

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. The coconut flour helps absorb moisture, giving the pancake a better texture without making it dense.

3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth. This is where all the fluffiness happens.

4. Combine Everything

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter. If you’re adding berries or nuts, now’s the time.

5. Pour & Bake

Pour the batter into your greased skillet and smooth it out. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown. If you want a crispier top, switch to broil for the last minute or two—but watch it closely so it doesn’t burn.

6. Cool & Serve

Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. Serve warm with butter, sugar-free syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered monk fruit sweetener.

Tips for the Best Keto Skillet Pancake

• Use a Small Skillet – Too big, and the batter will spread too thin, making it more like a crepe.
• Don’t Skip the Butter – It adds richness and keeps the pancake from sticking.
• Coconut Flour is Key – Even though it’s just a little, it helps keep the pancake from being too wet.
• Let it Rest After Baking – This keeps it from falling apart when you slice it.

What to Serve With It

A keto pancake is great on its own, but if you’re feeling fancy:

• Whipped Cream – Heavy cream, whipped with a little vanilla and sweetener.
• Sugar-Free Maple Syrup – Tons of options out there, just check for hidden carbs.
• Nut Butter – Almond or peanut butter drizzled on top? Yes, please.
• Berries – Raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries for a little natural sweetness.

Storage & Reheating

If you somehow have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes or pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Freezing? Not a problem. Wrap individual slices in parchment paper, store in a freezer bag, and they’ll last up to a month. Just thaw and reheat when needed.

Conclusion

This keto skillet pancake is as close to a traditional pancake as you can get without the carbs. It’s easy, quick, and makes breakfast feel special—even if it’s just a regular Tuesday.

Give it a try, play around with toppings, and most importantly—enjoy every bite.
