Keto pancakes?! You read that correctly! Using pastured eggs, a collagen-based protein supplement that is only sweetened with stevia, and a little coconut flour, these fluffy chocolate pancakes with blueberry butter will satisfy your appetite and fit into your macros. Here’s another delicious keto-friendly breakfast!
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein produced by our bodies and is what holds our body together. It is necessary for healthy skin, hair, nail, bones and connective tissue. However, once we reach our mid-20s, our collagen production declines. This is when you’ll start to see the aging process kick in with wrinkles and fine lines. Conditions like osteoarthritis are also highly associated with collagen decline, so it’s important to find good sources of collagen in your diet. So, what kind of foods should we look for? Here’s a list of foods that will boost your collagen production:
- Berries
- Grass-fed meat
- Omega-3 rich fish
- Dark green vegetables
- Red fruits and vegetables
- Citrus fruits
Bonus: No need for added sweeteners in these pancakes! Other than protein and delicious chocolate flavor, adding chocolate collagen peptide, like our Keto Collagen with MCT, will sweeten the batter.

Fun Fact of the Day
Wild blueberries, which are usually found in the freezer aisle are actually more nutrient dense. Forager tip: the smaller the blueberry, the more nutrient dense. Wild berries tend to be smaller than their farmed counterparts!

What do you mean as served? How many pancakes and what size? Is this into chart for the entire batter ?
Hello Gail! Recipes makes 2 servings, macros are PER SERVING.
Hi, oops think there is a typo Total Carbohydrates = 300g. they sound yummy, but I do see that actually they are 11.5g per serve, phew
Been on Keto diet for 2 weeks now. I thought I was suppose to keep carbs at no more than 20g per day. With these recipes, I would go way over. Explain, please.
Never mind, I just read wrong. Thanks!
I have flavorless collagen protein powder, how would I make this work? Could I add cocoa powder?
Hi Tawnee, you can mix your Keto Collagen Protein powder with smoothies, drinks, or coffee to make it taste better or you can try adding it to your favorite recipes.
