    Wake up to something delicious with these sugar free pancakes. Made without sugar, these pancakes are fluffy, flavorful, and a perfect breakfast option.

    Recipe: $0.95 | Per Serving: $0.08 | Yield: 12 pancakes

    Tall stack of pancakes with butter, syrup, and frozen blackberries on the side.

    We love all kinds of pancakes from Hot Chocolate Pancakes to Muffin Mix Pancakes and our famous Copycat Denny's Pancake Recipe, but sometimes we just want something simple and minimal.

    This pancake recipe is so delicious you won't even notice something is missing from the mix. Made from scratch and without refined sugars or sugar alternatives, this breakfast is perfect for those watching their sugar levels.

    Missing some sugar in the recipe doesn't affect the taste at all, and when you serve your pancakes up with your favorite toppings, you won't even notice a difference. Make your meal feel more complete with a sugar free drink option like Keto Italian Soda too!

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Basic ingredients. We just need basic pantry staple ingredients for this recipe, including flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and eggs. You may have most, if not all, of the ingredients on hand already.
    2. Low cost to make. Because we're making this pancake recipe from scratch, we're not just avoiding preservatives in a boxed mix, but we're also saving money too! The total cost for this recipe is an estimated $1.50 for about 12 pancakes!
    3. Perfect for any toppings. Serve your fluffy golden pancakes up with anything from maple syrup to peanut butter and fresh fruit. I recommend trying our Sugar Free Strawberry Jam or Sugar Free Blueberry Jam as a topping.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make sugar free pancakes.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Leavening agents- Use baking powder and baking soda for the leavening in these pancakes so that they're nice and fluffy.

    Egg- Use an egg for added richness and binding in the batter.

    Milk- This will help you to get a good consistency in the batter while making it richer in taste than if you were to use plain water.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🥣 Recipe Add-Ins

    You can add a handful of just about anything to this recipe. Fresh or frozen blueberries, chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, etc.

    I recommend adding these to the batter in the skillet as it cooks rather than mixing things into the bowl of batter as it often sinks in the bowl, and you can have a better placement strategy when added to the pan.

    🥞 Topping Ideas

    You can serve these pancakes with anything from jam to Mixed Berry Syrup or sugar free maple syrup. Peanut butter and fresh fruits are also tasty ideas!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Do not overmix the batter. You should only try to get the flour incorporated so that there are no dry streaks left in the batter. Overmixing will result in rubbery pancakes. There should be a few lumps.
    2. Pay attention to the visual cues. The pancakes are ready to flip when the edges look set, and there are bubbles on top.
    3. Do not squish the pancakes. Squishing will make them rubbery and dense. Let them rise naturally. If the outside is cooking faster than the insides, turn down the heat.

    🍳 Reheating

    Reheat 1-3 pancakes on a large microwave safe plate in an even layer (not overlapping) for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pancakes reheat very quickly, so keep an eye on them.

    ⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions

    You can prepare this pancake batter up to 2 days in advance and keep it stored in an airtight container or Gallon-sized Ziploc baggie in the fridge.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Keep your leftovers stored in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat again before eating.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Are homemade pancakes healthier than store bought?

    Yes. Storebought mixes often include random ingredients for anti-caking agents, loads of sugar, or preservatives, whereas with homemade pancakes, you can be in control of what is in the mix and avoid a lot of additives.

    What is the secret to good pancakes?

    Don't use expired or old leavening agents, don't overmix the batter, cook at the right temperature, and flip at the right time.

    How do you know when your pancake is ready to flip?

    You will know that your pancake is ready to be flipped over when the edges look set or slightly dried, and the middle of the pancake has developed bubbles. There shouldn't be any resistance when you put a spatula under the pancake to flip it. If it folds like an accordion, it isn't ready.
