The last keto blueberry pancakes recipe you’ll need! These easy keto cream cheese pancakes are ready in just 2 minutes in a blender.
It’s also not only a low-carb treat, but this recipe is also gluten-free and has only 2.4 grams of net carbs per pancake!
What Are Cream Cheese Pancakes?
Pancakes have been a treat for at least 2,500 years. Ancient Greeks were already indulging in these breakfast hits, cooked in frying pans.
This keto version of the crowd-favorite pancakes is a keto low-carb pancake made with eggs, cream cheese, and almond flour.
They are light and fluffy with a delicious cheesecake flavor.
Are Pancakes Keto?
Regular pancakes are made with wheat flour and sugar, so no, your typical pancake is not keto. This pancake recipe, however, is 100% keto.
As a matter of fact, using almond flour instead of regular flour and erythritol instead of sugar drops the net carbs to a staggeringly low 2.4 grams per pancake – compare that to the 30 to 40 grams of net carbs of your traditional pancakes!
So if anyone asks you, can I eat pancakes on a keto diet? You now know the answer. Yes, as long as you follow this recipe of keto cream cheese pancakes!
How To Make A Keto Pancake
You will only need 6 ingredients to make the fluffiest, tastiest keto pancakes!
These keto cream cheese pancakes with blueberries taste just like regular fluffy pancakes.
Ingredients
Plus, they are ready in only 2 minutes in a blender. Let’s see the simple ingredients you need to start making this low-carb pancake almond flour recipe.
- Eggs – You’ll need a few large eggs in the recipe but don’t worry, these keto cream cheese pancakes have no egg flavor at all. I’ve been asked a few times why you need eggs in a keto pancake recipe. It’s because eggs provide the structure that would otherwise come from gluten, so it’s even more important in a keto recipe!
- Cream cheese – I used full-fat cream cheese. The cheese is here to boost the fat and protein. Cream cheese is 100% keto-friendly. Learn more about keto dairy products here.
- Almond flour – make sure you use fine almond flour and not a coarser almond meal. Learn how to choose your keto flours.
- Baking powder – this gives the fluffy pancake texture. I don’t recommend baking soda as it brings a bitter aftertaste.
- Erythritol – I use erythritol, but feel free to use any other keto-friendly sweetener. Find how to convert them in our Keto Sweeteners comparison and conversion tool.
- Vanilla
Making Keto Cream Cheese Pancake Batter
This is a very easy keto pancake recipe with only two simple steps. First, you need a blender to turn all the ingredients, except for the blueberries into a creamy pancake batter.
Next, stir your fresh blueberries into the batter.
If you want to use frozen blueberries, I recommend adding them directly to the pan, on top of each pancake, before you flip them onto their other side.
The reason why I don’t like to add frozen blueberries into my pancake batter is that they release water and color the batter a purple-ish color.
Toppings
I already shared with you my low-carb almond flour pancake recipe. However, this keto blueberry pancake recipe is different. It combines almond flour and cream cheese.
As a result, these keto pancakes taste like blueberry cheesecake with no eggy aftertaste. They are delicious when served with the following keto pancakes toppings:
- Butter – nothing can beat a simple piece of fresh butter on top of hot keto pancakes.
- Whipped cream and unsweetened desiccated coconut.
- Sugar-free chia seed jam made of strawberries or raspberries.
- Peanut butter or almond butter – make sure you choose natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil.
Wait, what about pancake syrup? Pancakes have to come with pancake syrup.
But what pancake syrup is keto-friendly? The key here is to steer away from any syrup that contains sugar. My favorite options are:
- Sugar-free maple-flavored syrup – make sure you don’t use one with artificial sweeteners! I like to use Monk fruit syrup; it’s a safe keto liquid sweetener and tastes just like maple syrup!
- Sugar-free chocolate syrup or caramel syrup – look for natural keto-friendly options with the right sweeteners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course, you can, and that would be almost as delicious! It will bring the carbs down to 1.6g of net carbs per pancake, so you can add more toppings!
Otherwise, you can swap the blueberries for raspberries. They also contain fewer carbs.
These Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes with blueberries come with only 2.2 grams of net carbs per pancake.

Keto Blueberry Pancakes
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 ⅓ cup Almond Flour (5.1 oz)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated Sweetener or 1/4 teaspoon stevia drops
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder or 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup Blueberries or frozen * see note (2.8 oz)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a blender, except the blueberries.
- Blend on high speed until creamy and smooth. If some batter sticks to the bottom or sides of the jug, stop the blender, and use a spatula to unstick the batter on the sides/bottom. Blend again for a few more seconds.
- Pour the batter into a mixing bowl and stir the blueberries. Let the batter rest for 3 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pancake griddle or crepe pan under medium heat. Rub the surface of the pan with a piece of absorbent paper covered with a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter
- Pour 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake (not more), or it won't be easy to flip them without breaking, especially if you use heavy fresh blueberries.
- Cook gently, about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the sides start to dry. Now flip on the other side and keep cooking for a few more minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with sugar-free monk fruit syrup or butter.
Storage
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Rewarm in a pan, microwave, or toaster.
- You can freeze the cooked pancakes in ziplock bags and defrost them the day before. Rewarm either in a pan or toaster.

I made these exactly according to the recipe. They came out perfect after the first three pancakes. First, your rule of “no more than 2 tablespoons of mix” is a must! I first used more mix and came out not so good. After a few more,I sprayed a small coating of Pam on skillet. I used the 2 tbsp covered the pan (I found they cooked much more evenly) and cooked for 2 minutes on each side. They came out perfect. I made a double batch,so I got perfect at it. I make them for the week. I just grab one and go! Love this recipe!
Thanks for sharing your tips. I am so happy you loved the pancakes. Enjoy the keto recipes around here, XOXO Carine
The absolute best keto pancake recipe I’ve found! I’ve tried many and keep coming back to this one…not dry/dense just moist and delicious. Thanks for making our weekend mornings so easy when we’re craving something sweet!
Thank you ! enjoy the recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine
These pancakes are absolutely amazing! I about gave up trying to find a keto pancake that wasn’t dry, gritty and flat! These saved the day! I added Lily’s chocolate chips instead of the blueberries and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Thank YOU ! I am so glad you love these 🙂 Take care, XOXO Carine
These are the closest I’ve found to real pancakes. I didn’t add blueberries, I topped with butter and sugar free syrup. I will make again when I’m in the mood for pancakes.
Thank you! I am glad you love them, XOXO Carine
I made these blueberry pancakes today. They tasted delicious!!!! This is the best pancake recipe I have ever used!! The only change I made was to add a hand full of chopped pecans! So tasty, I will definitely make this again!!
Thank you! I love the idea of adding chopped pecan in these pancakes. Enjoy the blog recipes, XOXO Carine
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. It was my first time ever doing pancakes and they turned up great. I did not have sugar free vanilla extract so I used cinnamon. Absolutely delicious.
Thank you for the lovely comment! Glad you love them. XOXO Carine
My husband found this pancake recipe after several attempts with others. We were tired of paying for the store bought keto mix that only yielded a few pancakes for the price. This mix is absolutely delicious! (in fact I catch my husband licking the remanence quite often after making. LOL!) We mix keep extra in the fridge at all times for a quick breakfast before work to go with our eggs. Wish there were 10 stars because I couldn’t recommend it more. Love this site as well. Super easy to navigate and definitely a go-to. Always revisiting to find new, delicious recipes. Thank you!!!
Thank YOU so much to you and your husband for making my recipes and joining me her on my blog. It makes me so happy to have you both here. Enjoy the keto recipes here. Any, questions just ask, I love to help you in the kitchen. XOXO Carine
Made this recipe, the pancakes are pleasant but did not make 16 unless you want tiny pancakes so really 4.4 net carbs per pancake I got 8 pancakes.
Oh my…. so good, so easy! Did I mention good? I did throw a pinch of salt as I may have put a few drops too many of monk fruit sweetener. I only got 8 pancakes as I missed the 2Tbsp part and used a quarter cup pour. Sure hate that that probably mean that serving is just ½ of a pancake! As I plated 3! Good thing that I was full halfway through!!
Thanks for trying the pancakes ! I am so happy you love them. Enjoy all the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine.
Hands down the BEST lowcarb pancakes. I have tried several recipes and this was the easiest and yummiest! Thank you!
Thanks so much! Enjoy the low carb recipes around here. XOXO Carine
Hi, I’m planning to do this but I don’t have almond flour, just coconut flour. Can I substitute? Maybe decreasing the amount?
Not really because coconut flour contains 4 times more fiber than almond flour you often need way less. It is hard to say how much because I didn’t try this yet. But don’t sub 1:! or they will be very dry. Enjoy the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine.
Thank you SO much for this recipe! It’s the perfect pancake recipe! I think I might like these more than your normal pancakes, I like how they feel lighter! I used 2T of swerve brown sugar and 1T swerve white sugar! 10/10 would recommend, every time! ❤️ I also made half blueberry and the other half sugar free chocolate chips! Both are yummy! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for the beautiful comment! I am so glad you love them too. Sugar free chocolate chips will make them even better. Enjoy! XOXO Carine
Can you turn these into waffles? I have a Belgian waffle maker?
Yes sure, many readers have been using the batter into a Belgian waffle maker and share lovely result on Instagram. Enjoy! XOXO Carine
So delious and taste just like pancakes. I did mine with lemon and ‘sugar’, childhood favourite.
Yeah! I am happy you love the pancakes too! Lemon and blueberries goes so well together! Enjoy the recipes, XOXO Carine
Hi! Can you clarify how many eggs are used in the recipe? Thank you!
H, the full recipe appears in the recipe card an it says 4 large eggs, enjoy! XOXO Carine.
Can it be done with half of the recipe? Just wondering how much almond flour to use and how much baking powder. Please thank you
I am pretty sure it will work, simply divide in half each ingredients precisely. To know how much of each ingredients you need to half the recipe, use the scroll bar in the serving size area. It usually shows 16 pancakes, scroll to 8 and the amount of each ingredients will change accordingly to the serving you are aiming to. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
This recipe is now my favourite keto pancake recipe. It makes a fluffy great tasting pancake. thanks for sharing.
Yeah! Welcome on the blog. Thanks for trying my pancakes I am so happy to hear they come out delicious. XOXO Carine.
These were delicious. I doubled the blueberries and used 2T brown sugar Swerve. My son loved them (said the flavor reminded him of crepes – we use lots of vanilla and sometimes put almond butter and fruit in our crepes). 🙂 Thanks for the great site and recipe ideas!
Thanks for the lovely feedback! It is funny because I actually created this recipe for my kids too who love fruits pancakes 🙂 I am so glad your son enjoy them too. Enjoy all the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine.
