ALMOND MILK:

  • Use the unsweetened almond milk to make the batter for these pancakes. It adds the moisture content. It helps to make the thin consistency of the batter.

OLIVE OIL:

  • We add this oil in batter. It adds moisture and a slightly rich taste. It is also used to sear these pancakes and adds healthy fat content.

BAKING POWDER:

  • It helps to raise these pancakes and helps them to stay fluffy. The pancakes get dense if we don’t add the baking powder.

VANILLA ESSENCE:

  • Vanilla essence is used to provide a strong and warm aroma. It also helps to enrich the flavor of these pancakes and goes well with almond flour and blueberries.

LEMON ZEST:

  • Use the lemon zest to add brightness & zesty taste in them. It also adds a light citrus aroma to these pancakes.

KETO SWEETENER:

  • Keto sweetener adds the sweet taste without increasing the carb count. It keeps the pancakes keto. Sweetener also fixes the tangy taste of blueberries and lemon zest.

BLUEBERRIES:
