Have you ever heard of a gluten-free Dutch baby recipe? Yep, it’s a thing! This keto Dutch baby, also known as keto German pancakes, is based on this keto pancake recipe with almond flour and coconut flour.
In fact, our keto pancake mix is based on this recipe as well, so you can use that to make an even easier low carb German pancake.
And while it looks fancy, it’s the easiest thing ever – even easier than making regular pancakes. All you need is a blender, a skillet, and your oven. Such a fun weekend breakfast!
What Is A Dutch Baby?
A Dutch baby pancake is kind of like a large popover, made using pancake batter in a skillet, baked in the oven. Sometimes they are called German pancakes.
Normally they are not keto friendly, but this version of almond flour German pancakes is sugar-free and perfectly keto.
How To Make A Keto Dutch Baby
This keto Dutch baby pancake recipe takes just 5 minutes to prep!
- Blend batter. In a blender, combine Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour, Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour, Besti Allulose, almond milk, butter, vanilla, baking powder and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
- Bake. Preheat your pan in the oven first, then melt the butter, pour in the batter and bake until golden.
- Garnish. Add berries and sprinkle with powdered allulose! Or top with keto maple syrup.
Gluten-Free Dutch Baby FAQs
Why doesn’t it rise?
A traditional Dutch baby will rise at the edges like a popover, but this keto version doesn’t do that. Low carb flours just work a bit differently, but it’s still delicious!
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes, you can. You’ll need a granulated sweetener for the keto German pancake recipe, like crystallized monk fruit, crystallized allulose, or granulated erythritol.
Can I use only almond or only coconut flour?
No, sorry. This recipe is designed to use both, and replacing one with the other will change the texture.
Keto German Pancake Storage Instructions
Can you make it ahead?
Yes, you can. It’s easy to make and reheat.
If you want to make the batter ahead, don’t add the baking powder until right before cooking. Otherwise, it won’t activate.
How to store keto German pancakes
Store the gluten-free Dutch baby in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can you freeze keto German pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the gluten-free Dutch baby for 1-2 months.
How to reheat pancakes
Reheat the dutch babies in the microwave, or in the oven at 325 degrees. For best results in the oven, tent with foil to reheat, to avoid burning.

Wholesome Yum Allulose sweetener is a natural sugar without the sugar spike. Allulose sugar tastes, bakes, browns, and dissolves just like sugar does, and produces very soft baked goods… all with zero calories, zero net carbs, and zero glycemic index.
Use granulated allulose in place of granulated sugar for cooking, baking and topping! Because allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar, you’ll need 1 1/3 cups allulose to replace each cup of sugar.

I was skeptical at first but I tried it and it’s very delicious!!! I know it’s probably not like a regular German pancake with AP flour but this comes very close. Airy and light.

Hi, saw your recipes they look so tempting and low carbs. Wow! I will be trying soon.
My question is, is it okay if I use Cashew milk instead of almond milk in Dutch baby cake or any of your desert recipes?Reply

Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ruma, Cashew milk will work in the recipe, but will increase the carb count.

This turned out great, puffed up nicely on the edges and has a nice texture and flavor. I eat it topped with peanut butter and/or strawberries and it’s delish!

Ok, but more like a muffin than a pancake. I might try cutting back on the almond flour & adding more almond milk so the batter is thin & the pancake is more egg, less flour.

This was super easy and very yummy. Added some pecans and topped with butter and Besti maple syrup. Definitely a make again!
Only issue at 20 minutes it was almost burned. But that is probably our stoves fault and not watching it closer!Reply

I’m diabetic so I’m always looking for good recipes. This pancake is amazing! Just sweet enough. My husband loved it and he’s pretty picky. He said the recipe is definitely a keeper. He doesn’t know it’s low carb.
