How to Make Keto-Friendly Banana Pancakes with Banana Extract

Looking for a delicious, low-carb breakfast that doesn't compromise on flavor? Look no further than keto banana pancakes. These pancakes are a perfect balance of indulgence and health, using banana extract to achieve the same taste as traditional bananas without the carbs. Whether you're following a keto diet or simply looking to cut back on carbs, these pancakes are a great addition to your breakfast lineup.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour 2 eggs 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or banana extract) 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional) 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon A pinch of salt 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener (such as sugar-free maple syrup, stevia, or erythritol) A knob of butter or a small amount of cooking spray for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond flour, 2 eggs, 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (or banana extract), 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder (if using), 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This combination will give your pancakes a smooth, slightly fluffy texture. Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter pancake, add 1 tablespoon of your low-carb sweetener. Mix everything together until the batter is well combined and free of lumps. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan on the stove and heat it to medium-high heat. Melt a small knob of butter in the pan or use a cooking spray to ensure the pancakes don’t stick. Fry the Pancakes: Scoop the batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms are crispy. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings. Storage: Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. Warm them in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully heated through.

Additional Tips and Variations

For a truly unique twist, you can experiment with different extract flavors. Instead of vanilla, you might try cacao extract for a chocolatey flavor or even peppermint extract for a festive and refreshing taste. Feel free to add more cinnamon or nutmeg for an even stronger flavor profile. Additionally, you can use mashed berries or applesauce as a substitute for the banana extract for a different flavor experience.
