Low Carb Pancakes Recipe

Way back in the day before alternative flours and low carb products were widely available in grocery stores, one of the things my husband missed most when low carbing was his favorite breakfast foods. Pancakes are a real treat, but usually they’re chock full of sugars and carbs, so they’re a no-no when you need to keep carb counts down… until now.

These low carb pancakes are good enough for the whole family, even the people who aren’t low carbing. Top with butter and sugar-free syrup or fresh berries if your low-carb plan allows them. Either way, they’re simply delicious!
