Keto Mix

I rarely leave reviews, but I decided to this time because I almost didn't purchase this pancake mix because of the bad reviews. I am trying to reduce my carb and sugar intake so I've been experimenting with different products and recipes. These pancakes were absolutely delicious! BUT...I did not go by the directions. As you can see in my pictures, I substituted unsweetened vanilla almond milk in place of the water. I also added 2 eggs. I made about 8 pancakes with 1 1/3 cup mix and 1 cup of the almond milk. They did not crumble or fall apart. They were not gritty. They were just like normal pancakes made with flour. I also added a lot of banana split flavor made by Jordan's Skinny Syrups. They have numerous flavors that are zero calorie, zero carb, and zero sugar, but I wanted banana pancakes without all the sugar of real bananas. I did not measure how much flavor I used but it did make my pancakes thinner. If you want them thicker and want to use a skinny syrup, just use a little less milk. Last time I made these pancakes they were thicker because I hadn't discovered Jordan's delicious syrups yet, so I just added a lot of Stevia and some liquid Truvia vanilla. I promise you that if you substitute the almond milk for the water, add egg and either Stevia or Jordan's Skinny Syrups you won't be disappointed! These pancakes will taste exactly like the ones full of carbs and sugar! I have never watched my weight and I LOVE sweets, so learning recently that I was prediabetic was hard and depressing for me! I'm so thankful I can still eat delicious pancakes thanks to Birch Benders Keto mix and Jordan's Skinny Syrups, which you can also find on Amazon. They can be used in desserts, coffee, my keto Slimfast shakes etc.

Like other reviews stated, you have to add more water to the ingredients to make the mix less thick before pouring into your waffle maker. Other than that, this made a nice big waffle in my 7-inch waffle maker. I thought the flavor was great. My mom, who isn't on keto, tasted a piece and said it was a bit grainy, but I know that's because of the almond flour. Because of keto, I've gotten used to the grittiness of foods that contain almond flour, so it doesn't bother me at all. I think this is as close to a "real" waffle as you can get. The waffle didn't stick to my waffle maker like some other people have experienced. My waffle maker has a Teflon coating though, which I believe makes a big difference. I didn't even need to spray the inside of the waffle maker. I'd also like to note that I added some blueberries to my waffle and it came out soooo good. I highly recommend this and Lakanto Maple flavored syrup as great keto options. Just be sure to watch your portions, because consuming one entire waffle will account for a large amount of net carbs.

UPDAT: 5-18-22I've used both the Paleo and the keto of this brand of pancake mix.of the two paleo works best for me. the keto version was very gritty.Now I am going to say that having never used it before? there could have been a little user inexperience going on there. I Fully admit that.I had tried the keto pancakes first. Then I tried the Paleo mix and it really did well.I've got to say I really like the Paleo mix.So I think if you buy this? Don't expect miracles initially, use it a few times. make several batches of pancakes over a period of time because I do think that experience will improve the quality of end product ( PANCAKES 😁WAFFLES).I do think it is a good product.As I stated, I prefer the Paleo version But I figure if you were looking for a good priced keto product? if you can get past the consistency and/or gain the experience on how to properly make these? then you will be happy with it. in fact I'm going to knock it up a star.Cheers!Previous review:Well I bought this cuz I'm looking to start the keto diet.I wanted to make pancakes on my own.Positive? it doesn't taste bad.That's about all I can say for it.I mean it does sort of cook up quickly and well.but the color? you can't tell if it's done or not.The absolute worst thing about this mix? it's like eating sand pancakes.If you're a stickler for consistency and texture do not buy this mix.you will regret it and you will waste money.Truthfully they're not horrible.but the rest of that pack went into a mason jar with a very tight lid, labeled and in my deep freeze.if I'm ever in a desperate situation for pancakes and I have NOTHING else to make them? I'll go get The jar out of the deep freeze and whip up some pancakes.It would be my absolute last resort.If I'm THAT hungry? I got more things to worry about than the consistency of this mix. You dig what I'm saying?And that there's my opinion.It just occurred to me as I was trying to review this before sending it off to Amazon.if you like pecan sandy cookies?You wouldn't have too much problem with this mix.

I have used this product for several years and am pleased with the taste. It has a grainy, gritty consistency which some people maybe an issue for people who have texture issues. The pancakes will not be AS fluffy as your typical regular battered cakes, but are still tasty none the less. I will continue to use this batter for my Keto needs.
