🧾 Ingredients
For the Pancakes
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1–2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener (optional, for a slightly sweet flavor)
For the Sausage Layer
- 8 small sausage patties (pork, chicken, or turkey – keto-friendly)
Optional Toppings
- Sugar-free maple syrup
- Butter
- Fresh berries (low-carb option: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries)
📍 Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: The base of keto pancakes — creates fluffy, tender texture without needing wheat flour.
- Coconut Flour: Helps absorb moisture and improves structure; almond flour alone can be too crumbly.
- Eggs: Bind the batter and make pancakes light and airy.
- Sausage Patties: Choose high-quality sausage with clean ingredients and no added sugars. Pork gives the best traditional flavor, but turkey or chicken works for a leaner option.
- Sugar-Free Syrup: Look for keto-approved brands like Lakanto, ChocZero, or maple monk fruit syrup.
Tip: If you like a stronger “McGriddle-style flavor,” add just a drop of maple extract to your batter!
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
✅ Step 1: Cook the Sausage
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook until browned, sizzling, and fully cooked through—about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
✅ Step 2: Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
In a second bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sweetener.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until the batter is smooth, thick, and creamy.
✅ Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Grease a non-stick skillet and heat on medium-low. Scoop 2–3 tbsp of batter per pancake to create small, stack-size pancakes. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden, fluffy, and lightly crisp at the edges.
✅ Step 4: Assemble the Stacks
Place one pancake on a plate, add a sausage patty on top, then repeat with another pancake and sausage until you have a mini stack. Finish with a top pancake.
✅ Step 5: Add Toppings & Serve
Add a pat of butter on the top pancake, drizzle with sugar-free syrup, and serve warm. Enjoy the sweet-savory flavor melt together with each bite!
