Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol)

For the Sticky Bun Topping:

  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp keto brown sugar substitute (Swerve Brown)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  • Make the Sticky Bun Topping:

    • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
    • Stir in the keto brown sugar and cinnamon.
    • Add vanilla, heavy cream, and pecans. Stir for 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter:

    • In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
    • In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in almond milk, vanilla, melted butter, and sweetener.
    • Combine wet and dry ingredients. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  • Cook the Pancakes:

    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease with butter.
    • Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    • Repeat with remaining batter.

  • Assemble and Serve:

    • Stack pancakes on a plate and spoon the warm sticky bun topping over them.
    • Optional: Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup or top with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning.
  • These pancakes store well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freezer for 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet for best texture.
