Add a little fall flavor back to your life with these Keto Pumpkin Pancakes that are made with almond flour and turn out fluffy and light.
Pancakes don’t have to be completely stricken from your keto lifestyle. In fact, you can still make and enjoy light and fluffy pancakes made with almond flour. Add a little pumpkin for a delicious fall brunch. These pumpkin muffins with walnut crumble and keto pumpkin bread are great for brunch as well.


I don’t make pancakes very often, but once in a while it’s nice to have them. The first time I made pancakes with almond flour, I had no idea they’d turn out this good. They rise well and are very fluffy.
The only difference between these and regular pancakes is one that I’ve come to expect from almond flour. The texture is more mealy, because the almond flour isn’t as finely ground as white flour.
If you can handle that difference, you’re all set! I use Log Cabin sugar-free syrup for the topping, along with a little butter or whipped cream for garnish, and a dusting of freshly ground nutmeg.
What Pumpkin to Use
You can use freshly baked pumpkin, if you’re so inclined. Around Halloween, I usually have a few baking pumpkins around.

It’s perfectly fine to use pumpkin puree from a can, too. Make sure not to use pumpkin pie filling in a can (it contains sugar).
How to Make Keto Pumpkin Pancakes
Mix all the ingredients for the batter together in a bowl. Let it stand for a few minutes to thicken up. It shouldn’t be runny, but it should still be pourable.

Heat your skillet over medium heat. Rub a small amount of oil onto the pan, or spray with cooking spray.
Add a scoop of batter to the skillet. To make 8 pancakes, you will use slightly less than 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. You can make them smaller or larger, depending on your preference. I like to make a stack of pancakes, so I make them smaller.

Keto pancakes cook up just like regular pancakes. They will get a little dry around the edges and start to form a few bubbles in the center. That’s how you know they are ready to be flipped over. It takes about 3 minutes per side.
If you notice that the pancakes are a little too dark when you flip them, the heat is up too high. Lower the heat slightly so you can cook them longer.
The pumpkin does add an extra element of wetness, so they need to cook a bit longer than you might think.

Serving size is 2-3 pancakes, depending on what size you make them. Enjoy!

My husband is going to love these pancakes! He is really into keto and a big fan of pumpkin flavor.
Love the idea of pumpkin pancakes! Can I make this with regular flour? I don’t have any almond flour and would love to not have to get a bag just for one recipe!
I think these sound so tasty! I’m in the UK, would almond flour be the same as ground almonds? Thanks!
Hi Ali. I’m in the UK also. I use blanched almond flour from some brands, and ground almonds from other (like Waitrose). They’re the same.
