WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:
– I use a non sick pan that isn’t oiled because I like the texture it gives the pancakes. If you let them cook enough before flipping and your pan has a good non-stick coating you shouldn’t need any oil. They are a little delicate so, If you’re a novice cook or your not worried about how they look, feel free to grease your pan with a little butter or coconut oil.
– The recipe can be made with many variations. You can try adding some Strawberries, Blueberries or Raspberries or even some Low Carb Chocolate Chips.
– This batter recipe also makes an amazing Keto Waffle or Keto Vanilla Cake Pop.
– The protein powder can be switched out for more coconut flour, psyllium husk or almond flour but you may want to add a bit of sweetener to the batter.
– I use Kaizan Natural Vanilla Bean Protein Powder which has 24 g of Protein per 1/3 of a cup.
– If you’re keto and want to add a little extra fat to this dish. Try serving with extra butter and sugar free whipped cream or no sugar added peanut butter or cream cheese.
