Low Carb Dutch Baby

Categories Breakfast, Easy Recipes, Gluten Free, Low Carb

I love dutch baby pancakes or German pancakes as I more commonly refer to them. I used to eat these all the time as a kid. It was so fun to see them rise big in the oven and then fall down when they come out. I love that they are almost sponge-y in texture but buttery and delicate. This low carb dutch baby is great for those watching the carbs because it’s made with half almond flour, half wheat flour or gluten free flour mix and lots of eggs. It makes a delicious breakfast, brunch, lunch, linner or dinner.

This low carb dutch baby rises and tastes just like a regular dutch baby and tastes great with whatever topping you want to put on it. I like grilled peaches (that recipe is below) or fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Sugar free syrup, natural maple syrup, a drizzle of honey or any nut butter would tastes delicious too.

No two dutch babies rise the same and that is the fun of them
