These zero-carb gluten-free pancakes are a great choice for anyone following a keto, low-carb, or gluten-free lifestyle. Unlike traditional pancakes made with flour, these pancakes use eggs and cream cheese to create a soft, tender texture with very few carbohydrates.

They are quick to prepare and require only a handful of ingredients. The pancakes have a mild flavor that pairs well with sugar-free syrup, butter, whipped cream, or berries if your diet allows.

Because they contain no wheat flour, oat flour, or starches, they are naturally gluten-free and very low in carbs. They make an excellent breakfast, snack, or light meal when you want something satisfying without the extra carbohydrates.

 Tips & Tricks

 Additional Notes

These pancakes are often called cream cheese pancakes and are popular among people following keto and low-carb diets. While commonly referred to as “zero-carb pancakes,” they are not technically zero carb because eggs and cream cheese contain very small amounts of carbohydrates. However, they are extremely low in carbs compared to traditional pancakes.
