    I have a new favorite low-carb pancake recipe made with a mix of oat fiber and almond flour. The texture is a little lighter than almond flour pancakes. Since they look and taste like regular pancakes, you may even fool your family with these!

    The great thing about oat fiber is that it has zero net carbs since all of the carbohydrates are from fiber. Plus, it's a great way to add additional fiber to your diet if that's something you're lacking.

    I wasn't sure I'd like the taste, but after trying these oat fiber keto buttermilk pancakes, I'm sold. The taste reminded me of hotcakes that I used to make from a mix in my high carb days.

    Ingredients Needed

    The recipe only uses a few ingredients: oat fiber, almond flour, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, coconut oil, and eggs.

    I was able to add real buttermilk to the pancake batter because oat fiber adds no digestible carbs. But you can cut the carbs in half by using a substitute of almond milk and vinegar as noted in the recipe.

    ingredients used in the recipe

    Making Oat Fiber Keto Buttermilk Pancakes

    With instructions this easy, you never need to make pancakes with a mix again! Just follow these simple steps:

    1. Mix dry ingredients together. Then whisk in oil, buttermilk and eggs until well combined.
    2. Drop the batter onto a heated griddle or pan and cook until each side is browned.

    Serving Suggestions

    These yummy low carb buttermilk pancakes go well with a pat of butter and pancake syrup. Many times, I just skip the syrup and drown them in butter.

    You can also serve the oat fiber pancakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream. My homemade keto blueberry sauce and simple strawberry sauce are great toppings too!

    Recipe Variations

    To change things up, you can sprinkle on chocolate chips after flattening the batter into circles on the griddle or pan. Or you can add in a little vanilla extract and cinnamon for a sweet and spicy breakfast treat.

    Storing Oat Fiber Keto Pancakes

    You can keep leftovers in the refrigerator for at least a week. For longer storage, place them in the freezer.

    They freeze well so you can double or triple the recipe. That way, you'll have your own supply of ready-made keto buttermilk pancakes on hand.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is oat fiber?

    Oat fiber is made by grinding oat hull, which is the outermost layer of oat grain. The primarily components are lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.

    Is oat fiber keto?

    Because the carbs are mainly insoluble fiber, the net carb count is zero. This makes oat fiber low-carb and keto-friendly. However, many avoid grains on keto.

    Is there an oat fiber substitute?

    Flax meal can be used instead, but the texture and flavor will be altered. Coconut flour should work too, but you may need to add in more egg and liquid if the batter is too thick.

    These low carb buttermilk pancakes are so good it's hard to tell the difference from traditional high carb ones. Great for freezing in single servings.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup oat fiber
    • ½ cup almond flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted if needed
    • 1 cup buttermilk see note
    • 3 eggs
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Mix dry ingredients together.
    • Whisk in oil, buttermilk and eggs until well combined. Add additional egg or water if batter is too thick.
    • Drop batter onto heated griddle using a ladle to desired size then flatten each into a circle using the back of a spoon. It's best to use about 2 to 4 tablespoons of batter for each pancake.
    • Cook until each side is browned. Serve warm with butter.

    Notes

    Carbs can be lowered to 2g net per serving by making a buttermilk substitute out of almond milk and vinegar. Just use 1 tablespoon vinegar and enough unsweetened almond milk to make 1 cup total. Since almond milk is thinner, it's best to add in about ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum too.
    For thicker pancakes, add 1-2 tablespoons additional oat fiber. If batter is too thick, you can add in an additional egg.
    For a touch of sweetness, you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener.

      First I would like to thank Lisa for creating this blog and this particular recipe. She is very knowledgeable. I am a professionally trained chef second time I made it I tweaked the recipe. Liquid was ½ cup sour cream ¼ cup heavy cream ¼ cup water I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tbsp of maple extract I had that on hand cuz I make my own syrup. I added a TBSP of baking powder and ¼tsp baking soda because that gives it the flavor we all associate with pancakes. Instead of oil I added 3 tbsp of melted butter and ½ tsp of kosher salt and 2tbsp of Lankanto blitzed in a blender. Wet ingredients first sprinkled on xanthan gum then the dry with the butter let sit for 10 minutes. The result were tender fluffy pancakes that tasted like pancakes and had the texture of Pancakes. I did not use allulose because that tends to brown deeply and baking soda helps in browning that's why I used monk fruit erythritol.

        If the batter is thin, you can add more oat fiber. It's the oat fiber that thickens it up.

      The oat was really filling but If I make this recipe again I am going to change some things. The almond flour taste came through too much for me. I will try making these again with coconut flour instead. Also, I will use cream instead of almond milk. The xanthum gum gunked up when I added it to the almond milk and created huge lumps in my batter. This recipe had way too much salt for me also. I try to eat low sodium because of high blood pressure and usually cut back or don't add much salt to my food anymore. 1/2 tsp is usually too much for me and this recipe was no exception. I wanted to make this recipe by the book though. Therefore, when I make this recipe again, I am taking the salt down to 1/4 tsp. Also, to note, the batter had the texture and consistency of Birch Bender's Keto waffle/ pancake mix. Some people may not like that grainy texture . The taste of these pancakes came out with a kind of dry, corn muffin taste to me and Carbquick buttermilk pancakes tasted far better as a pancake recipe replacement for me. These fell apart when cooking a batch or two also which was a pain in the butt.

      This was an excellent recipe. I used the buttermilk substitute with a quarter teaspoon xanthan gum and vinegar and enough almond milk to make a cup. I made the first bit of it half I’d say and they were crumbly. I added an addition 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the remainder and got a much better pancake. That said I’d use 3/4t for the whole recipe. I also signed one of the eggs out for egg whites or egg beaters(50grams) and 2T golden monk fruit. I think I’ll add 1t vanilla to them when I make again. My teens said they taste like Cheerios.

      I used the recommended (by many keto’ers) oat fiber by LifeSource which I can attest makes a huge difference in recipes. I was using the one by Anthony’s because I love their other stuff, but when it comes to oat fiber, there are only one or two brands that don’t taste like cardboard and create a lovely, bread-like, moist texture. Anywho, the taste was great, but in following the recipe exactly, these were so finicky. They didn’t want to cook through even though the consistency of the batter was spot on to pancake batter. What worked the best was doing 3 pancakes at a time, cooking with a lid on to help the pancakes stay together, and even then, I couldn’t flip over in one piece unless I put them under the broiler for several minutes to help it cook more and hold together. Even then, with them being browned nicely on both sides, it seemed overly soft and almost undercooked. I ended up making the entire batch, which took me about 40 minutes, and then threw all on a sheet pan and cooked another 10 -15 minutes at 350 so they didn’t seem as undercooked. Not sure if there was a better method, but the family did enjoy these. I want to play around with the recipe to hopefully cut down on the work involved, because they ended up pretty good, but it took so long to make with the extra steps.

        I used another brand of oat fiber. If you look at the notes, it says to add more oat fiber if the batter is too thin.

        It's an insoluble fiber that comes from the outer shell of the oat kernel. Since it's insoluble, it shouldn't have much if any impact on blood sugar.

        With over a cup of liquid plus 4 eggs, they should not have been dry. What brand of oat fiber did you use? That's the only ingredient that may have varied in absorbency.

          I've never used that brand of oat fiber, but I've used their almond flour and coconut flour without issues. I'll have to retest using that brand. What I'd like to try is upping the oil and maybe reducing the eggs. Unfortunately, the only way to figure out why yours was dry is to experiment and make adjustments to the recipe ingredients.

      These did not hold together for me. The taste is fine, but they just fell apart when trying to flip. I did add the extra oat fiber for thicker pancakes. I am at high altitude...maybe this is the reason?

        Sorry they didn't work out. It could have been too much flour or oat fiber as cup measures aren't the most accurate. However, I'm close to sea level so I don't know a lot about making adjustments for high altitude.

      I keep messing with this recipe and it keeps getting better. I did:
      - Added one tbsp wheat gluten to give the batter some body (and better flavor than xanthan gum others have mentioned)
      - Used 3/4 cup sour cream and 1/4-1/2 cup water instead of buttermilk (I was out of almond/coconut milk)
      - no extra oil needed since the sour cream was rich enough

      The recipe comes out better if you make sure everything is close to room temperature (I used hot water from the tap to make up for cold sour cream and eggs). I usually beat the eggs and mix the wet ingredients well in a separate bowl before I combine with dry. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to let everything hydrate before cooking.

      Even after reading the comments and making tweaks, these pancakes were definitely not successful. The flavor of the oatfiber is overwhelming, but that's the least of this pancakes issues. Mine came out flat, despite the baking powder and we're a nightmare to turn, getting the wet batter all over. Just not a great recipe to me.

      I just made these. Considering they are the closest thing my husband and I have had to pancakes in a year makes them pretty great! Adjust your expectation and know you are not making real buttermilk pancakes and you will likely enjoy them more. I did 2 egg whites and 2 whole eggs. I used baking powder, coconut milk, some Almond milk, and whipping cream with Davinci sugar free caramel syrup as the sweetener in the recipe. For topping we used Honest Syrup.

      They were good. I plan to tweak the recipe to make biscuits. I think it would be perfect and great for both strawberry shortcake and biscuits with gravy.

          If a recipe uses a mix of coconut flour and almond flour you may be able to substitute the coconut flour with almond flour. And any low carb milk product can be used instead of coconut milk. If you don't care for almond milk, a 50% water 50% heavy cream blend is a good low carb milk to use in recipes.

      I made this recipe this morning-oh my- they were pancake perfection! After reading some of the comments I did make a few adjustments. For leavening, i used 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda. I also added 1/.2 tsp xanthan gum. For sweetening, i used about 3 pumps of DaVinci Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup. I did not use the full amount of buttermilk, just added until the consistency seemed right-maybe 3/4 cup. They rose beautifully, were easy to flip and tasted awesome!

      I just made these...YUMMO! I followed the recipe and I used aluminum free baking powder and avocado oil. All I had for sweetener was Swerve's Confectioner's sugar so I added just 2 teaspoons. For the buttermilk as my daughter can't have dairy I added 2 teaspoons of organic lemon juice to some cashew milk. I also added organic alcohol free vanilla extract and organic cinnamon. I separated the eggs and beat the egg whites until fluffy. I added the yolks into the batter, mixed and then folded the beaten egg whites. I previously added the soured cashew milk gradually to the consistency I wanted. I then fried them in melted coconut oil. So I believe people who found the recipe chalky is because their batter is too thick as this was the case with my first try. I then added some more of the milk, not the full amount the recipe called for, but to make a little thinner than what I had. A tad harder to flip, but with a large spatula I mastered it. Less chalky than the thicker batter, but for low carb...pretty good. Served with coconut nectar on top.

      I made these this morning, but put them in a waffle iron. OH MY WORD! These were so fluffy. They didn't crisp up like you think a waffle would, I guess cause they are supposed to be made for pancakes, but they tasted awesome! I couldn't help but say to myself "Mmmmm these are so good" as I scarfed them down. I will try them as pancakes next time. Thank you!

        It does make a fluffy pancake.

      I tried the original recipe and it was no bueno...I added xantham gum and baking soda as someone recommended...still not great. So while I had all the stuff out I made 1/4 cup oat fiber and 1/4 cup coconut flour with the 1/2 almond and it did the trick. I also added some vanilla. My 7th grader even liked them!

      I can't find oat fiber anywhere. Would psyllium husks work?

        It may, but psyllium forms a gel whereas oat fiber doesn't. You may need to experiment. I'd use a little less and add until the batter feels right.

      This is my most recent go to pancake recipe. Has great taste. I subbed almond milk and 1 tbsp of vinegar for buttermilk. Used only 1 tsp of swerve and added some vanilla. Also added Additional 2 tbsp of oat fiber. They are kind of crumbly when eating but easy to flip and taste great

      Made tbese this morning. The flavor is outstanding, but I had to make several adjustments to get them to look lile the picture. I left out the sweetener, and added 1/2 tsp of baking soda in addition to the 2tsp of baking powder, and I had to make them half the size I normally would to get them to rise properly. I also had to add 1tsp of xanthan gum to keep them from falling apart when turned.

      I was excited to stumble across this recipe. I was so enthralled that I ordered a 5 pound bag of the nugrain oat fiber. I followed the recipe except I used the almond milk and vinegar. I also added more sweetner than called far. They started off fluffy then fell a little flat. I think more baking powder is needed. These pancakes were on the dry side and I could definitely taste the grain, not so appealing. I will tweak this recipe as much as I can to make it more palatable. It reminds me of the carbquick and I'm not too fond of that product.

      Just made these for Saturday morning breakfast. The batter was runny and the pancakes were very flat. They didn't brown like pancakes do, they were more like chalky crepes. Husband and I both tried them and declared them to be inedible. Waste of ingredients too. I also suspect the pictures were not from this recipe but perhaps a regular pancake batter recipe. Definitely not like traditional pancakes.

        The pancakes in the photo were made from the recipe shown. Sometimes ingredients do vary a bit, particularly when measurements are given by volume rather than weight. Weight measurements are much more accurate. That's why on pancake mix, it's usually stated to adjust liquid to make the batter thick or thin. It's been a while since I made these and I may have forgotten to list baking powder. That may have also resulted in flat pancakes. It's hard to say, but about 2 teaspoons of baking powder may be required for proper rise.

      These tasted great; to me, just like a high carb pancake. This is the low carb pancake recipe I'd been wanting, as most include coconut flour, and I don't like the lingering coconut taste. Thank you so much for this! This is now my go to low carb pancake recipe.

      I do have a question about how thick the batter should be, though. Mine was extremely runny, and the pancakes became thin, more like crepes, as the batter ran after being poured, and so they kind of fell apart when flipped (after we tasted them, we didn't care, and just piled them on our plates anyway! So good). I used whole milk with vinegar as a buttermilk sub, and used liquid egg whites instead of the 4 eggs... is this possibly what caused the batter to be so thin? Or is it supposed to be really runny? I did add the extra 2 tablespoons of oat fiber and two teaspoons of baking powder another commenter suggested, but it was pretty much the consistency of the whole milk even after that.

        Egg yolks are a thickener, so it's likely because you used just whites.

      Hi Julie,

      I just made these and liked them very much. I made the full recipe with the addition 2tsps of baking powder and the extra 2 tbs of oat bran as a another reviewer mentioned. I also did 3 tsp of Truvia after looking at the conversion chart. They came out perfect and I will make these again. I ordered my oat bran from Netrition because I could not find it in the stores and they have 5.99 shipping regardless of how much you order.

      Thanks Julie,
      Michele

        Not sure what could have happened. Sometimes a slight change in ingredients and technique can change everything. Was it dry or wet? Maybe the liquid needs adjusting? The eggs should have held everything together.

      Just made these for Saturday breakfast with a bit of modification. I was a bit nervous about the absence of any leavening, so I added 1 tsp of baking powder (to a halved recipe). I also added an extra tablespoon of Oat Fiber as my test pancake was very thin. Perfection! Best low carb pancakes ever, my husband is so happy!

        Darlene,

        The following information is from Taste of Home:

        "There are a number of substitutes for buttermilk in baking. For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk."

        So, you could add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice plus enough almond or coconut milk to make 1 cup and let sit for 5 minutes (this is the method I'm familiar with). And, it looks like you could use 1-3/4 cream of tartar in a cup of low carb milk as well.
