The Best Gluten Free Keto Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe

Turn this recipe into a savory Dutch baby recipe next time when you add a savory twist by incorporating whole foods like cheese, herbs, or cooked bacon into the batter. Just eliminate the sweetener and extracts for best flavor.

In order to make this a gluten free version that is also low carb I have left out the starchy flours like tapioca flour, rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch and all purpose gluten-free flour. If you are not concerned with having it be a gluten free Dutch baby then you can substitute in a gluten-free flour blend of your choice for the almond flour used in the recipe 1:1.

If you do not have a blender, you could always whip this up in a mixing bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer. That way you are still getting air incorporated into the batter.

Make this Dutch baby recipe completely dairy free when you make a simple swap with the butter and heavy cream. Earth balance is a dairy free butter that can be used so you still get the fabulous butter taste in your giant popover without dairy. Coconut milk is a great stand in for heavy cream as well. You can try almond milk, oat milk or your favorite dairy-free milk if you want but I have not tried with a thinner milk.

If you are sensitive to sugar substitutes you can sub in regular sugar or go with coconut sugar which does not spike blood sugar as much.

You can use whole milk or cow’s milk if you want instead of the heavy cream, but the batter may be too thin. Consider decreasing the eggs by one or try adding in an additional 1/4 cup of flour that you are using so it turns out. You want to make sure it has the consistency of a medium thickness pancake mix batter.

You can purchase grocery store gluten free pancake batter and use it to make a puff pancake like this. You would need to add in a few extra eggs to help create the puffiness though.
