Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Blanched Almond Flour
- 1 level scoop (1½ tbsp) or Vanilla Keto Protein Powder
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (*not fresh mozzarella)
- ⅛ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg
- 5 to 6 drops Liquid Stevia
*See the printable recipe card for nutritional data and more details. The recipe can be doubled or tripled (etc.) to make a batch of pancakes instead of a single serving.*
Instructions
Combine almond flour, collagen protein powder, shredded mozzarella cheese, and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl. Mix or whisk until combined. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk egg and stevia drops until combined.
Add the egg mixture to the almond flour mixture.
Vigorously mix or whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Heat and lightly oil a medium-size 8-9' inch frying pan over medium-high to high heat.
Once the pan is hot, pour all of the pancake batter onto the pan and swirl around to almost cover the pan with the batter.
Cook until many bubbles come to the surface, and the pancake's outer edges start to look solid (about 1½ to 2 minutes), and when you lift an edge with a spatula turner, the underneath is browned.
Flip the pancake over.
Cook the other side for about 1 to 2 minutes or until done.
Remove and serve with butter and low-carb maple syrup.
Hint: Be sure the pan is preheated before pouring batter into the pan. While cooking the pancake, look for many bubbles to come to the surface, and the pancake's outer edges should start to look solid before flipping over. Also, you can lift the edge of the pancake with a spatula turner to see if the underneath of the pancake is browned.
Variations
- Chocolate Chips - You can add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter.
- Berries- These pancakes can also be topped with a few fresh berries and low-carb powdered sweeteners.
- Peanut Butter or Nut Butter- Low-carb nut or seed butter is delicious spread on these pancakes.
Storage
Store the cooked pancakes in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reat or warm as needed. Freeze in a sealed container or large freezer bag with parchment paper between pancakes if storing multiple pancakes.

I was a little skeptical when I saw that there was mozzarella cheese in this, because cheese and pancakes sounds odd. But it was SOOO good! I'll definitely be making this one again.
