A New Spin on Keto Pancakes!

Most pancake recipes boast that they’re the fluffiest recipe on the planet. Well, if they’re not using ricotta cheese, they might fall short in that regard.

Those of us in the keto world know the magic that is cream cheese low carb pancakes. Two main ingredients (cream cheese and eggs) will get you a lightning-quick breakfast that you can dress up any way you like. The cream cheese in that basic recipe can be switched out to other similar, mild-tasting cheeses. One of which is ricotta!

Ricotta is an interesting cheese – it’s crumbly but sticky, so it works in this low carb pancake batter. Make sure to use whole milk ricotta. You don’t want the low-fat stuff. Ever.

Low Carb Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes

Other than ricotta and eggs, we added just a few choice ingredients to add to the pancake eating experience. You can’t forget cinnamon and a bit of baking powder. Make sure to peep at the fun chemical reaction when the baking powder is mixed with the lemon juice!

The lemon glaze is optional. We thought it’d be the perfect way to add a bit more sweetness and lemon flavor, but you can just as easily use Walden Farms Pancake Syrup or Walden Farms Blueberry Syrup. Both are great, based on our extensive testing 🙂

Instructions
  1. Zest an entire lemon and squeeze the juice out. Reserve half for the lemon glaze.
  2. Into a food processor, combine all the wet ingredients (plus half the lemon juice and all of the zest) and blend for a few seconds until combined.
  3. Then, add in the dry ingredients and blend until well-mixed.
  4. Heat up a large griddle to medium heat and using a quarter cup measuring cup, ladle the pancakes on and cook for about 5-7 minutes. The pancakes should be golden on the bottom and drying up on top.
  5. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes then transfer to plates.
  6. To make the lemon glaze, combine the powdered erythritol, lemon juice and a splash of almond milk to thin out the consistency. Stir with a spoon, pour over the pancakes and enjoy!
