Quick and easy low carb pancakes, made with protein powder. Blend these Low Carb Keto Banana Nut Protein Pancakes to get them nice and fluffy.
The solution to your pancake cravings on keto: Low Carb Keto Banana Nut Protein Pancakes
I love a good pancake recipe. Like REALLY love. I'm talking breakfast, lunch and dinner kind of love. If I'm honest, I love to eat my pancakes smothered with peanut butter and low carb maple syrup. YUM! It's like dessert and breakfast all wrapped into one.
Variations of keto protein pancakes
There are so many different low carb pancake variations floating around: protein powder pancakes, cream cheese pancakes, almond flour pancakes, coconut flour pancakes and more. Did I sound a little but like Bubba Gump there?
But between all these, how do you choose? Honestly, I think it is just a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like most of the variations, with the cream cheese pancakes being pretty close to the top of the list. But then again, I also really love eggs, so the eggy texture of cream cheese pancakes appeals to me. I'm not really a fan of almond flour pancakes as I have never tried a variation that felt light and fluffy and didn't have a gritty texture. When done right, coconut flour pancakes seem to be my favorite variation. I've had a couple recipes that came pretty darn close to the real thing.
Nut Free Keto Pancakes
This recipe is a great alternative for those looking for a low carb pancake recipe free of nut flours. Many people have a nut allergy or simply do not like the taste and texture of either coconut flour or almond flour. These protein powder pancakes are a great substitution. The use of the protein powder makes them light and fluffy, while still keeping them gluten free and nut flour free. Do you have a favorite low carb pancake recipe? I'd love to hear about it.

Description
Check out my favorite Sugar-Free Maple Syrup - HERE
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Banana Protein Powder (I use this brand)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 large pastured eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I use this brand)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon powdered monkfruit (I use this brand)
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a high powder blender. Pulse until all ingredients are creamy and well combined. You may need to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and pulse again to make sure everything is completely mixed.
- Brush a large non-stick skillet or griddle pan with butter and heat over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, add ¼ cup of the batter and cook until it is bubbly on top and golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until it is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat this process until all the batter is gone.

Gabriel says
Greetings! I love this recipe! The pancakes came out perfectly. Can you help me understand the nutrition information? I tried to match it via myfitnesspal. I am not getting .8 net carbs with 1 serving pancake. I'm getting 8 carbs per 1 pancake serving. Can you tell me how you figured out the carbs in your nutrition calculation. I definitely like the .8 carbs much better. I appreciate your time.
Love the site!

Hey Gabriel, are you subtracting the erythritol? That might be the difference. MFP usually has incorrect info for natural sweeteners. Also, did you use this exact protein powder? If not, that is also where the extra carbs may be coming from.
Nicole says
I made these as waffles and they are delicious! I hope to see more recipes with this protein powder 😉
