Start your morning right with these fluffy and flavorful Low Carb Flaxseed Pancakes, a perfect guilt-free breakfast option for those watching their carbs! Made with just a handful of wholesome ingredients like flaxseed meal, almond milk, and a touch of natural sweetener, these pancakes are high in fiber, gluten-free, and packed with healthy fats. The batter comes together in minutes and features a hint of vanilla and cinnamon for a warm, comforting flavor. Cooked to golden perfection in butter or coconut oil, these pancakes are a low-carb delight that pairs beautifully with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Quick, nutritious, and satisfying, this recipe is ideal for keto enthusiasts, busy mornings, or anyone craving a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes.
In a mixing bowl, combine flaxseed meal, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
Add the egg, almond milk, stevia, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or coconut oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the batter onto the skillet, forming two or three small pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until the edges start to set and bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
