Keto Pancakes

Today we are making Keto pancakes and reviewing the Keto and Company’s Pancake and Waffle mix. 



The instructions call for three eggs, 2 tbsp of nut milk, 1 tbsp oil, and 1/2 cup of baking mix. It has about the same consistency as normal pancake mix. Have the skillet hot and then spray with cooking spray or oil with coconut oil, which is my choice.

This mix does not bubble up the way normal pancakes do, so if you’re waiting for that, you’ll wait too long before turning. Slide the spatula under the pancake and turn in one swift motion to keep the pancake intact. 

I always brown my pancakes on both sides, put them on a plate, and microwave them for 30 seconds to make sure the center is cooked. I do this no matter what kind of pancake mix I am using. 

This mix works best if you make the pancakes no larger than four inches in diameter. Larger pancakes are hard to turn without the pancake sliding off your spatula. But after the first one, you’ll get the hang of it. 

Why go to the trouble of making a Keto pancake? Because all of us, even those who aren’t on the Keto diet, or who aren’t diabetic, eat way too many carbs. 

Large amounts of carbohydrates lead to a release of large amounts of insulin, which often is poorly absorbed due to insulin resistance. Excess insulin floating around in the system causes massive inflammation throughout the body. 

Even if you aren’t diabetic by the clinical definition, you can still be insulin resistant for many years before your blood sugars start to rise. That’s only because your body is able to keep up with producing enough insulin to handle the massive amount of carbohydrates. But eventually the pancreas wears out. So anything we can do to decrease the amount of insulin we secrete is a good thing. 

Also, even if you’re not diabetic, a large release of insulin signals your body to store fat. This doesn’t happen with high fat foods. So it’s not true that fatty foods make you fat. It’s the carbs that signal your body to store fat.  

So, if it tastes good, why not use a baking mix that eliminates some of those carbs? In this case, you’re not sacrificing taste by doing the Keto baking mix, and each serving of two pancakes has only 2 net carbs! 

I suggest serving the pancakes with Walden Farms Zero Carb Pancake Syrup, also a delicious product!
