Pancakes are a breakfast treat around here and these Peanut Butter Keto Pancakes are a favorite! If you are a peanut butter lover like me, these pancakes are going to put a huge smile on your face! If you’re a mom that has to sneak veggies into your kids food, listen up…this one is for you!
While I am not much of a breakfast eater, Maddie and Paige are, and let’s face it…bacon and eggs can get a little bit boring! Every once in a while, they are in the mood for a sweet breakfast treat and these Peanut Butter Pancakes are the perfect thing! This pancake batter is made in the blender so prep…and cleanup…could not be easier! Also, these Peanut Butter Keto Pancakes have a secret ingredient that adds healthy dose of vitamin C and provides great body to the batter…zucchini!
Pancakes are one of those breakfast comfort foods that most everyone loves. I must admit, that I didn’t love the carb filled version of my youth…I always felt extremely bloated and sluggish for the rest of the day after eating even just a half a pancake! This batter makes a thinner pancake but not one as thin as the cream cheese pancakes that are more like crepes. They puff up beautifully, are easy to flip, won’t leave you feeling like you ate a brick and they pack a nutritional punch to get your morning started right!
A few years ago, I made a gluten free, dairy free cheesecake with zucchini of all things…it was incredible! The zucchini added body and a little moisture to the cheesecake and created a great texture which is just what it does here. Don’t worry…you’ll never be able to detect the veggies! But unlike most of the low carb or keto pancakes out there that use cream cheese, these pancakes are also dairy free! Since trying these and loving the way they turn out, we use this as a base for a lot of our pancake recipes!
We like making a batch or two of these ahead of time and keeping them in the fridge for a quick and easy weekday breakfast! Heated up quickly on the stove top or in the microwave, topped with butter, sugar free syrup and a little melted peanut butter…they are heaven!

Is calorie rating per pancake ? Wanna make sure I can eat as many as allowed for breakfast allocation. Look tasty, gonna try them!
Yes, that is per pancake…of course there is going to be some variation with ingredients and the size of the pancakes, but this will give you a good estimate! They are also great with almond butter! If your doing Keto, its often better to focus on your macros…protein, fat, and carbs…rather than calories. When you focus on Macros your calories naturally balance!
