Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes (AKA Keto Pumpkin Pancakes or Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes) whatever you decide to call it, one thing is for sure this is THE BEST Low Carb breakfast you can have during this time of year.
I’m excited about this one!! I served these pumpkin pancakes up with some bacon for breakfast. You only need 1 hotcake to get the job done. They are totally filling and totally delicious topped with a pat of butter! Making these fitting into the Paleo diet as well. These pumpkin pancakes are for everyone.
These are similar to pancakes, but thicker and a tiny bit more dense, though they are still pretty fluffy for pancakes made with almond flour.
If you want a more traditional pancake without the pumpkin though check out our Low Carb Pancake and Keto Pancake recipes.
HOW MANY NET CARB PER Low Carb Pumpkin Pancake
5 Net Carbs per pumpkin pancake. For me one of these thick pancakes is more than enough to fill me up with a side of bacon. This nutrition information does not include the topping of butter so depending on how much you put on make sure you account for it.
I was really excited to come up with something that allowed me to enjoy my favorite spice (pumpkin pie spice, of course!) in something other than our pumpkin spice coffee.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my coffee. But when you drink it with pumpkin pie spice all. the. time., you find that after a while, you don’t notice the flavor of the spice as much. It just becomes your normal cup of coffee. So adding it to other foods sort of revives it for me.
I know some people prefer to eat this sort of thing with some type of syrup. But honestly, with a little bit of salted butter, you don’t need it. It’s a sweet and salty combination that really works. It’s so yummy and a great way to celebrate Autumn!

- 1 cup fine ground almond flour
- 4 large whole eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon pure liquid stevia
- 2 Tablespoons oil for cooking (approximate)
- butter for topping
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, baking powder and stevia. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
- Put some of the oil in your skillet and place a heaping spoonful of batter into the oil. You will have to work with this a bit to spread the batter. It won't spread on it's own. I used roughly a generous 1/3 cup for each pancake.
- Cook on each side, flipping as needed to get nice browning on both sides.
Serve with a pat of butter.

why high percentage of fat? definitely like other nutritional values…is it the butter and oil?
It is a combination of the almond flour and oil. We personally are not afraid of fat and especially when it is the healthy fat that comes from almonds.
Just tried these, not sure if I made them correctly but they were a little dry for me and needed a little salt. I will try again next time with adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt and maybe some buttermilk! Thanks for the inspiration!
Can I use granulated sweeter and if so any adjustments I need to make? Thanks
Yes most definitely you can and can be used as a 1-1 ratio.
If you don’t have liquid stevia, could you sub it with swerve ? Looks delicious !
You can definitely substitute with swerve. It doesn’t need much so it won’t change the recipe much.
Delicious! Added ginger and nutmeg and cooked in coconut oil. Ate with an over easy egg. Definitely a keeper, especially when I have fresh pumpkin to use up! Thank you for sharing!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming back to share. 🙂
I eliminated the oil completely and cooked them on my pancake griddle. Sprayed it with cooking spray. Got the calories down to about 199 per pancake.
Awesome! Thanks for coming back and sharing what worked! 🙂
Is that 600 calories for 1 pancake??
Heather – Ha! I just noticed that! Yes, I guess it would be. But you can cut way back on that by using less oil. It’s the oil that really ups the calories.
Lovely recipe 🙂 Made with no modification, fantastic with a creamy coffee. Reminded me of french toast – but better!
Kayla – Yay!!! I’m so happy you liked them! My little guy finished them off before I could get much of them, so I definitely need to make them again. LOL!
Is the fat grams listed in nutrition facts correct? 58 grams per serving?
Monica – Pretty much. You use a lot of oil to cook these. All the recipes on this site focus on higher fat content. This one just happens to be a real zinger in that department. It’s a Keto recipe. But you can always lower the heat and use less oil to bring down the fat if you prefer. Or even try baking them on a cookie sheet.
What temperature would you bake the pancakes and how many minutes?
You want to cook pancakes around medium heat.
