These bacon pancakes are drool-worthy! With only 4-ingredients, they come together quickly. Rich, savory and filling, you might not want to go back to regular pancakes ever again. Our recipe is Paleo-friendly and a good Keto pancake option too.
Only 4 ingredients in these easy keto pancakes
These bacon pancakes are basically bacon and eggs morphed into pancake form. Here are the simple ingredients:
- Bacon – Make sure you’re using sugar free bacon to keep it low-carb.
- Eggs – These bind everything together to make it a true “pancake”
- Almond butter – A binder and also a thickener, this gives the batter a creamy texture. Again, watch out for added sugar if you’re watching carbs.
- Butter – A rich, buttery flavor gets baked right in with the pancakes!
PRO TIP: These pancakes are freezer-friendly. Just cook and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze. Transfer to an airtight bag or container. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
They’re also low carb pancakes packed with protein
Let’s be honest, most pancakes are loaded up with sugar and refined carbs and not very filling.
That’s not the case with these bacon pancakes! They have plenty of protein, fat and savory goodness to fill you up for the long-run.
They are the perfect Keto breakfast, something that’s simple to make and fills your belly.
Toppings for these savory pancakes
Since these pancakes are more on the savory side, here are some recommended toppings:
- Sour cream
- Melted cheese or cream cheese
- Full-fat greek yogurt
- Full-fat coconut yogurt (tastes similar to greek yogurt but a dairy-free option)
- Chopped chives or scallions
- A dollop of Chipotle Aioli
Of course, if you are looking for a little salty-sweet combo you could always use a touch of maple syrup.

Easy 4-Ingredient Bacon Pancakes
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bacon, diced
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add diced bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is getting crispy, about 6-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate and reserve bacon grease in the pan.
- While the bacon is cooking, mix the eggs, almond butter and butter together in a bowl.
- When the bacon is finished, add it to the bowl and mix again.
- In the same skillet you cooked the bacon in over medium-low heat, add a couple of large spoonfuls of the batter. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Notes
What can I substitute the almond butter for?
Another nut butter should work (peanut, cashew, etc.). Just watch the carbs if you’re tracking them.
Yummy. Tastes good even for not having any sugar/sweetener. Thanks!

You’re very welcome Susan, glad you enjoyed them!
We LOVED these savory, healthy pancakes! The texture and flavor was amazing, and pairs nicely with Greek yogurt, strawberries, and pure maple syrup. We found also that warming up the almond butter helped it mix better within the batter. Enjoy!!
Great tip on the almond butter! Glad you enjoyed the recipe and thank you for coming back to leave a rating and review 🙂
