Transform a breakfast favorite into a nutritious vegan Keto recipe that's both delicious and healthy. These vegan pancakes are crafted with a special blend of flours, creating a fluffy texture that holds its shape and offers a hint of cake-like aroma. The addition of green hemp flour boosts the nutritional value, an important consideration for vegan and Keto diets. Each pancake stack is then drizzled with a rich, sweet vegan maple syrup, perfectly Keto-friendly for guilt-free indulgence. When meal prepping, keep the syrup separate until serving.

These Keto pancakes are gluten, butter, and egg-free, yet maintain a delightful cakey and chewy texture. Ground flaxseeds act as an egg replacement, providing binding properties when mixed with water. A special combination of almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and baking powder mimics the qualities of wheat flour, while coconut oil serves as a perfect vegan substitute for fat and dairy products.
This is a hearty Keto meal perfect for breakfast. A pan-fried farmer steak, made with seasoned ground beef and Keto-friendly fats, is topped with a flavorful mushroom gravy. Served alongside are cheesy scrambled eggs. This high-protein, high-fat meal can be adjusted for smaller serving sizes or meal prepping. The steak can be prepped in advance and stored between parchment paper layers in the refrigerator. For meal prepping, ensure all ingredients are cooled before storing in containers. Reheat in a microwave, slightly undercooking the eggs initially to prevent dryness. When it comes to fats on a Keto diet, it's important to prioritize unsaturated fats. Opt for lean ground beef (90-95%) to control the protein content. Enhance the fat content by adding mayonnaise, pork rinds, or shredded cheese. Recipe by Jessica L.
