A morning with blueberry pancakes is always something worth waking up for. Like my keto pancakes, these are just as fluffy and flavorful as “traditional” pancakes. The only difference is that they’re made with entirely keto-friendly ingredients. 

This recipe is a spin-off from my keto pumpkin pancakes, but of course, made with fresh blueberries in mind. The finished pancakes are perfectly golden brown on the outside, yet pillowy soft on the inside and full of vibrant blueberry flavor!

Recipe highlights

Arman Liew
  • Crowd pleaser. I’ve made this recipe for my non-keto friends, and they’re always shocked when I tell them there’s no flour or sugar. 
  • Customizable. You can use different berries, add chocolate chips, or top them with your favorite sugar-free sweetener. The options are endless!
  • Ready in 15 minutes. The hardest part will be waiting for the batter to thicken, but I promise your patience will be worth it. 
  • Meal prep friendly. I like to make a double (or triple) batch and freeze the extras. They reheat great and taste as good as fresh, just like my keto chaffles

Key Ingredients

Only simple, no-nonsense ingredients are needed to make these keto pancakes. Here’s everything you’ll need. The complete list is in the recipe card below.

  • Almond flour. As always, I highly recommend blanched almond flour, not almond meal. The reason is that blanched almond flour has a finer consistency, whereas almond meal can make the pancake texture gritty.
  • Coconut flour. When combined with almond flour, coconut flour makes for extra-cakey, fluffy pancakes. 
  • Cinnamon. A little dash helps amp up the flavor and complement the blueberries. 
  • Baking powder. To help create some air bubbles in the pancakes. 
  • Granulated sweetener. I recently retested this recipe and found that allulose yielded a fluffier, sweeter batter than other sweeteners. My original recipe called for erythritol or monk fruit, but these are a little gritty.
  • Eggs. Room temperature eggs, please.
  • Milk. Any dairy or non-dairy milk will do, but I used unsweetened almond milk. 
  • Blueberries. Fresh or frozen blueberries will work, so use whatever you have on hand. If you’re using frozen, let them thaw first. 

How to make keto blueberry pancakes

Step 1- Prep the batter. Using a large mixing bowl or a high-speed blender, add all your wet and dry ingredients, except the blueberries. Mix or whisk until you have a thick batter.

Step 2- Rest the batter. Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl and fold in the blueberries. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk.

Step 3- Cook the pancakes. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray. Once hot, pour ¼ cup portions of the pancake batter into the pan and cover. Allow the pancakes to cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden. Flip and repeat. Once cooked, serve immediately.

Arman’s recipe tips

  • Look for bubbles. I know it’s time to flip the pancakes when I see little bubbles pop up as they’re cooking. A transparent lid helps!
  • Don’t overheat the pan. Otherwise, the bottom of the pancake will burn before the middle is fully cooked. I always stick to medium or medium-low heat, no matter how tempted I am to crank it up!
  • Keep them warm. When I’m making enough pancakes to feed a large group, I like to store the cooked ones in the oven set to its lowest setting while I continue cooking the rest.
  • Add mix-ins. Some of my favorite keto-friendly pancake mix-ins are sugar-free chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts.
  • Flavor the batter. While I think this recipe is pretty flavorful as is, sometimes I’ll add a sprinkle of salt, a little vanilla extract, or a bit of lemon zest to sneak in an extra finishing touch. 
  • Swap the blueberries. I’ve made this recipe with strawberries and raspberries, and they turned out great! 

Storage instructions

To store: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

To freeze: Transfer cooled pancakes to a freezer-safe container and freeze them for up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge.

Reheating: Reheat the pancakes in the microwave for about 30-seconds until warm. You can also reheat them on the stovetop with a spritz of oil until hot.

Frequently asked questions

Are blueberries allowed on a keto diet?

Absolutely! Blueberries are keto-friendly and make a great addition to any keto breakfast or sweet treat. 1 cup of blueberries is equal to just 6 grams of net carbs. 

Why are my pancakes grainy?

Your pancakes may be grainy if you use almond meal rather than almond flour, since almond meal is made with the almond skins intact. This is why I really suggest using blanched almond flour.

  1. Hi, I tried them this morning. I used two extra-large eggs, not at room temperature, a touch of vanilla powder, and Monk Fruit sweetener, as that’s what I had on hand. I don’t like the texture. The taste was OK, but I’m not sure if I will make them again.

  2. Hi, I printed the recipe and noticed the recipe itself doesn’t indicate blueberries in the ingredient list or in the instructions.

    Carefully made these using almond milk and Sereve sweetener (2T). More grainy than regular pancakes, but good. Used organic blueberries. Husband loved them.. The batter made 6-1/4 cup pancakes. Love your recipes, Arman! Going to make your Keto Syrup tomorrow.

    1. I love to hear that, Amy! Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely comment and star rating. oh yes, the keto syrup is SO good- works for pancakes, waffles, and tons of my baking recipes 🙂

    1. The blueberries either aren’t listed in the recipe card ingredients or are covered by an advertisement and may well be hidden by it. How many are supposed to be included?

  4. 5 stars
    Best pancakes for Whole 30 that I’ve found int three years. Covering pan was genius. Cooked for 3.5 minutes on each side. Delicious!

    1. Right? People think I’m odd to mention covering the pan, but it really is the surefire way to get thick and fluffy pancakes.

    1. Hi Bonnie- I do! I’ll be slowly adding them to the post. Almond flour- 50 grams, coconut flour 14 grams, allulose 25 grams, blueberries 75 grams.
