I created this recipe in 2020 before I even had a Blog to post the recipe on. I watched my video again for the first time in forever and made my pancakes. But in the video I made the pancakes very fancy with a citrus compound butter and a bourbon maple whipped cream. It is delicious but the pancakes by themselves are very yummy as well. Nice and fluffy, soft and buttery. I included the recipes for the extra pancake toppings at the bottom of the post.

This recipe is very customizable. You can choose any carbonated beverage to give you the nice fluffy texture. Just keep in mind flavor and sweetness of the batter. You don't have to add any sweetener at all to the pancakes if you don't want to. You can also add any extracts you want to the batter, like maple if you don't have a preferred keto maple syrup to top the pancakes.
The only thing with this recipe that I want to mention is that not all keto ingredients act the same depending on brands. So if the coconut flour is more absorbent or the xanthan gum has a stronger gelling power you may need to add more liquid to the recipe. Biggest thing is to just add the liquid some at a time until you reach the consistency of a pancake batter because you may even need less liquid. Also don't forget that coconut flour continues to thicken as it sits so you may need to add more liquid after the batter sits for a minute.
I do plan to revisit this recipe to see if I can lower the carb count on it. I have since learned that I can use way more whey protein powder than coconut flour. The brand I use, Isopure, is 0 carbs per scoop, so upping that and decreasing the coconut would lower the carbs significantly.
