A sweet and savory breakfast treat, this Low Carb Pancake Sandwich features fluffy keto pancakes, savory sausage, and soft scrambled eggs. Ready in 30 minutes, it's a satisfying meal perfect for busy mornings.
Shape the ground breakfast sausage into 2 patties and place them in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Leave them in place long enough to brown well so a crust can develop before you turn them.
Cook the patties on both sides until they are browned and cooked through. The outside should look deeply golden with crisp spots, and the center should no longer look raw when checked.
Make the Pancakes
Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat while you mix the pancake batter in a small bowl using the coconut flour or almond flour, 2 large eggs, baking powder, oil, sugar free maple syrup, and salt. The batter should be thick enough to spoon into rounds but still soft enough to spread slightly in the pan.
Coat the skillet with cooking spray and spoon the batter into 4 round pancakes. Try to keep them similar in size so the finished sandwiches stack neatly.
Cook the pancakes until small, steady bubbles appear around the edges and the bottoms have set. If you flip too early they can break, so wait until the surface looks less wet around the outside.
Turn the pancakes and cook the second side until the centers spring back when lightly touched. The finished pancakes should feel set but still soft, not dry.
Prepare the Eggs
Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium bowl and beat until the yolks and whites are fully combined. You want an even mixture so the scrambled eggs cook into soft, uniform folds.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the butter, and pour in the beaten eggs. Once the edges begin to set, the eggs are ready to be gently moved.
Push the eggs across the pan with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom occasionally to form large, soft curds. Keep the movement gentle so the eggs stay fluffy instead of turning dry and crumbly.
Take the eggs off the heat when they are just set and still glossy and slightly wet. They will keep cooking from the residual heat, which is what keeps them tender.
Assemble
Place 1 sausage patty on a pancake, add half of the scrambled eggs, and top with another pancake. The warm eggs will settle into the sausage and help hold the sandwich together.
Finish with butter and sugar free syrup before serving. The final sandwich should taste savory first, then slightly sweet on the finish.
Notes
Pancake Tip: If your pancakes break when you try to flip them, they may not be ready. Wait until you see steady bubbles around the edges and the surface looks set before flipping.Storage: For the best texture, store the pancakes, sausage, and eggs in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. You can also store assembled sandwiches for quicker reheating.Reheating: The quickest way to reheat is in the microwave. Wrap the sandwich in a damp paper towel to keep the pancakes soft. You can also use an oven or air fryer for a firmer exterior.Freezing: These sandwiches freeze well. Let all components cool completely, then assemble and wrap each sandwich in parchment paper. Store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes. Values may vary depending on brands, portions, and substitutions.
