Keto Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

About This Recipe

Sometimes, breakfast deserves to feel like dessert. That’s exactly what you get with these Keto Cinnamon Roll Pancakes—a fusion of two comfort food classics: soft, fluffy pancakes and gooey cinnamon rolls. Instead of loading up on sugar and flour, this recipe uses keto-friendly ingredients to deliver all the indulgence without the carbs.

The pancakes themselves are made with almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, and cream cheese for a tender and fluffy texture that rivals traditional pancakes. A swirl of cinnamon and sweetener is added as they cook, creating that signature cinnamon roll look and taste. Finally, a sugar-free cream cheese glaze is drizzled over the top, pulling the whole dish together in rich, decadent layers.

Despite how impressive they look, these pancakes are surprisingly easy to make. The batter comes together quickly, the cinnamon swirl only requires a few ingredients, and the glaze can be mixed in minutes. You can stack them tall for a show-stopping brunch centerpiece or keep them simple for a cozy weekend breakfast.

Nutritionally, these pancakes are perfectly balanced for keto. They’re high in fat and protein while keeping carbs low, making them filling and satisfying. They’re also customizable—you can make them with coconut flour only, swap sweeteners, or add chopped pecans for texture.

Whether you’re treating yourself, impressing family, or looking for a fun breakfast idea, these Keto Cinnamon Roll Pancakes hit the sweet spot. They prove that you don’t have to give up indulgent flavors to stay on track with your low-carb lifestyle.
