Description
Keto banana pancakes offer a delightful twist on classic breakfast fare for health-conscious diners. Creamy almond flour and ripe bananas create a guilt-free morning treat you can enjoy without compromising nutritional goals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ⅓ cups (160 g) keto pancake mix
- 8 tbsps (120 mL) unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tbsps (60 mL) avocado oil
- ½ tsp banana extract
- ¼ cup (30 g) chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Surface Preparation: Lightly oil a non-stick skillet or griddle and heat to medium, ensuring a water droplet sizzles instantly upon contact.
- Batter Creation: Whisk keto pancake mix, eggs, almond milk, avocado oil, and banana extract in a large bowl until completely smooth and lump-free, incorporating all ingredients thoroughly.
- Texture Enhancement: Gently fold chopped walnuts into the batter, distributing them evenly to create a balanced nutty profile throughout the mixture.
- Cooking Process: Pour batter onto the heated surface, forming circular pancakes. Watch for emerging bubbles and golden edges, which signal the optimal moment to flip – approximately 60-90 seconds per side.
- Finishing Touch: Transfer pancakes to serving plates, creating an elegant stack. Garnish with sugar-free syrup, additional crushed walnuts, or a delicate sprinkle of cinnamon for a sophisticated presentation.
Notes
- Perfect Cooking Surface: Ensure your skillet or griddle is hot enough by testing with a water droplet that sizzles immediately, guaranteeing even heat distribution and preventing pancake sticking.
- Batter Consistency Matters: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps, creating a smooth mixture that ensures uniform texture and prevents uneven cooking in your pancakes.
- Nut Distribution Technique: Fold walnuts gently into batter using a silicone spatula, ensuring nuts are evenly spread for consistent crunch and flavor in every bite.
- Flipping Timing Crucial: Watch for small bubbles and golden-brown edges as key indicators for perfect pancake flipping, maintaining ideal texture and preventing burning.
