kcalIngredients
1 cup almond flour
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 tbsp erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. No lumps allowed—unless you enjoy pancake surprises.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in almond flour, erythritol, and baking powder. The batter should be thick but pourable. Too thick? Add a splash of almond milk.
- Fold in the blueberries: Gently mix them in. Over-stirring = blue mush. You’ve been warned.
- Cook ’em up: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form (about 2 minutes), then flip. Repeat until you’re out of batter or patience.
How to Store These Bad Boys
Let the pancakes cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Want them to last longer? Freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave—no one will judge.
Why You Should Make These Regularly
Besides being delicious?
They’re low-carb, high-fat, and packed with protein. The almond flour adds fiber, and the blueberries give you antioxidants without the sugar crash. Plus, they’re idiot-proof to make.
Even if you burn toast regularly, you’ve got this.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overmixing the batter: It’s not a workout. Stir until just combined, or your pancakes will be tough.
- Using cold cream cheese: Soften it first, or you’ll spend forever battling lumps.
- Cranking the heat: Medium heat is your friend. High heat = burnt outside, raw inside.

Swaps and Substitutions
No blueberries? Try raspberries or blackberries. Almond flour allergies?
Coconut flour works, but use 1/3 cup (it’s thirstier). Hate erythritol? Swap in monk fruit or stevia.
Cream cheese not your thing? Mascarpone works in a pinch. Flexibility is key—unless you’re yoga-averse.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but thaw and pat them dry first.
Frozen berries release extra water, which can make your pancakes soggy. No one likes a soggy pancake.
Why did my pancakes fall apart?
You probably flipped them too soon. Wait for bubbles to form and the edges to set.
Patience, grasshopper.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yep. Swap cream cheese for coconut cream and butter for coconut oil. You’ll miss some richness, but it’s still tasty.
Are these pancakes really keto?
With 4g net carbs per serving, absolutely.
Unless you eat the whole batch—then we need to talk.
Final Thoughts
These pancakes prove keto doesn’t mean boring. They’re quick, delicious, and won’t wreck your macros. Make them.
Eat them. Thank yourself later. And if you “accidentally” eat them for dessert too?
We won’t tell.
