Whip up this Low Carb Easy Pancake Muffin Recipe to satisfy your sweet pancake cravings without the carbs!

Low Carb Easy Pancake Muffin Recipe with Succulent Plant and Coffee Mug

Pancakes are generally reserved for special mornings in my house. On the other hand, because you can grab them on the go, muffins are perfect for any day. It’s the best of both worlds when your muffins taste like pancakes…and are low carb too! These muffins have a moist, tender crumb and subtly sweet flavor with a hint of maple, thanks to the addition of a little funugreek.

How to Make Pancake Muffins

A common question is how to make pancake muffins from pancake mix. Because this is such a fast and nearly effortless method to make muffins, I can see why it’s appealing. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tray with paper liners.
  2. Use your favorite pancake mix to prepare the batter.
  3. Mix in anything you like in your pancakes, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, banana slices, etc. (About 1 tablespoon of mix-ins per muffin is a good ratio.)
  4. Scoop 1/4-cup of batter into each lined muffin well.
  5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 12 to 15 minutes.

The resulting muffins are basically pancakes in muffin form! Not quite as fluffy as regular muffins, although you can make them fluffier by adding an additional egg to the batter. Muffins made from pancake batter also aren’t as sweet as regular muffins, but you can sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar on top before baking, which looks pretty and adds a touch of sweetness. Alternatively, you can serve pancake muffins with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top, the way you’d eat pancakes.

This Low Carb Easy Pancake Muffin recipe is scratch-made instead of using a mix, but you probably have just about everything in a well-stocked keto pantry!

What is the Main Difference Between a Pancake Recipe and a Muffin Recipe?

Batter for pancakes is different from batter for muffins in a few ways. First, pancake batter has less sugar. Additionally, pancake batter is usually thinner than muffin batter because of the use of more liquid (usually milk). Lastly, muffin batter typically uses more leavener, such as baking powder or baking soda.

What is the Difference Between Muffins and Cupcakes?

It’s sometimes said that the biggest difference between muffins and cupcakes is whether or not the top is frosted! Frosting is one way to immediately differentiate a muffin from a cupcake, but there are a few other main differences as well.

Cupcakes are sweeter with a finer, less dense and less coarse texture than muffins. This is because cupcakes have more sugar and more fat than muffins. Additionally, the type of fat used is different; muffins frequently use oil and cupcakes typically contain butter.

Another distinguishing difference is that cupcakes are always sweet, although muffins can be either sweet or savory.

How to Make Muffins From Scratch

Muffins are quite easy to make from scratch, and it’s likely that you already have all the ingredients on hand. They’re also fun to customize!

Basic Muffin Recipe

When I’m making regular muffins (instead of something like this Low Carb Easy Pancake Muffin Recipe, which is keto and gluten free), this is the basic recipe I use:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sugar

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup neutral-flavored oil

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup of blueberries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, tossed with 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional)

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine, being careful not to over-mix (the batter should be lumpy). Fold in any mix-ins you’re using. Line a muffin tray with paper liners and fill each 2/3 full with batter. Bake in a 375F oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Egg
  • Pure vanilla extract

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
