Keto Flours That Can Be Used And Should Be Avoided
As per the recipe, we’ll make keto banana pancakes using almond flour. But if by any chance you are allergic to almond flour, then sunflower seed flour or walnut flour can be used as substitutes. And the amount of this flour for the batter will be the same as almond flour.
However, by no means use coconut flour, which will cause the pancakes to crumble and dry out.
Storage And Reheating Process Of Your Keto Banana Pancakes
1.Refrigerator
If you have any leftover pancakes, then you can keep them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for a maximum of three days. Before eating them, just put them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to treat yourself to some piping hot pancakes.
2. Freezer
In order to store the pancakes in the freezer, simply insert a piece of parchment paper between each pancake so that they do not stick to one another, and then keep them all in a freezer bag. Your pancakes will be edible for up to 3 months.
3. Reheating
If you want to reheat your frozen pancakes in the microwave, then keep them inside for 20 seconds or more until they are warm. Or you can always put your pancakes in the oven by putting them on a baking sheet and then covering them up with tin foil. It will take around 10 minutes at the temperature of 350°F to warm them up.
FAQs
Is it possible to make keto banana pancakes without eggs?
Yes, it is possible to make keto banana pancakes without eggs, but you may need to use flax eggs.
Are banana pancakes keto-friendly?
Unfortunately, no most banana pancakes are not keto-friendly as they include ingredients such as sugar, actual bananas, and white flour. And all of these are not at all beneficial for someone who wants to shred a few pounds.
That’s why in order to make our recipe keto-friendly, we have used banana extract and sweeteners.
How many carbs do banana pancakes have?
Usually, banana pancakes have a high amount of carbs, but our eco-friendly recipe only includes 5 carbs per pancake. So if you are making 5 pancakes, that’s a total of only 20 carbs.
Can actual bananas be used to make keto-friendly pancakes?
No, absolutely not bananas contain high carbs and sugar which will prevent the pancakes from being keto friendly. Besides that, bananas will also make the batter thicker and ruin the shape and texture of the pancakes.
