Grain Free Dutch Baby, Keto Friendly, Paleo Made

We all need some happy right now.

How happy would you be if you knew you could dig into a pancake with berries and whipped cream and feel no guilt whatsoever? Probably pretty happy.

How happy would you be if I told you this is a grain free dutch baby with blueberries  is super brain food and keto friendly? Probably pretty happy.

How happy would you be if I told you the grain free dutch baby was super easy because it’s baked in the oven? Probably pretty happy.

Grain Free Dutch Baby from spinachtiger

A dutch baby is a German pancake that is baked in a skillet. As it bakes, it puffs up and is ready for fruit.  I’ve made an apple dutch baby here and a sausage dutch baby here with all purpose flour, but they could easily be adapted with grain free flours. I’ll come back and do that in another post.

I used two grain-free flours in this grain-free dutch baby recipe, almond flour and coconut flour to get the taste I was looking for. If you follow me on instagram I told you that I was going to test and retest this recipe until I got a recipe worthy of sharing.

I kept my word. In total, I made four versions of my grain free dutch baby, until it tasted remarkable and had a puffy texture that wasn’t eggy.

Testing the Grain Free Dutch Baby Over and Over

This is how Spinach Tiger works when it comes to foundational recipes. I knew if I could get a good basic recipe, I would be able to go many ways with this, including some savory options that I will show you in the future.

I made four different variations of almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda vs. baking powder, sour cream vs. plant based milk and on the 5th version, I got exactly what I was looking for. In some versions, the almond flour dominated too much and in some cases, it was too eggy. I think my version is just right.



The 5th recipe: 1/3 cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon coconut flour, 3 extra large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup sour cream and we loved it. To this I added both orange and vanilla extract which didn’t overpower but balanced out the almond flour.

How to Sweeten a Grain Free Dutch Baby

As far as a sweetener and confectioner’s sugar, I used powdered erythritol (Swerve). You can also top with fresh berries. Read here why I use Swerve as my sweetener.

How to Make a Grain Free Dutch Baby Dairy Free

As far as a dairy free version, you can substitute sour cream with a nut milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.

You will probably also love my keto pancakes.

Just so you know, these can also be baked in the oven and everyone who has tried them has been very happy.

    This looks so delicious and I can’t wait to try it! One thing I’m confused about though, In the comments, I keep seeing people mentioning how good the orange flavor is but I don’t see any “orangy” ingredients. Where does the orange flavor come in?

    Is the 1 tablespoon Swerve supposed to be mixed on the batter or just sprinkled on top of the finished pancake?

    Did you ever try leaving out the baking powder?

    Angela,
    We FINALLY tried your dutch baby and it was awesome! Used a cast iron skillet marked 8 for 15 minutes. It came out fluffy and moist and the orange flavor was inspired. Best of all the cook gets to eat with everyone else! This is our new pancake, thanks!

    By far the best tasting pancakeever. I’ve made so many that tasted eggy or just gross. I believe the orange extract is a must. Adds a wonderful flavor. I had large eggs and was reluctant to add the addition egg, but I did and it was just yummy. Hard to stop at one serving.
    Thank you for sharing. Finally a pancake my family can enjoy.

    Just curious – why did you had the baking powder? The flour version I used for years (now changing over to nut flour) was just plain, flour, eggs, milk and flavoring. Is the almond flour such that the eggs will not be the rising agent in these? Gonna try this tomorrow. =)

      That’s a good question. I think I’ll try one without the baking powder and see what happens.

    OMG!!!!! This was amazing!!!! Just started Keto a few days ago and I’m still amazed at how yummy this food can be. It was huge and I ended up cutting it into quarters.

    I didn’t have any extract so I added a little cinnamon since I was going to make these like cinnamon rolls anyway. Had cinnamon and butter sauce with a little cream cheese icing…all Keto friendly!!! Had a great texture…I’ll pickup extracts next time I’m at the store so I can make it exactly like yours.

      I like YOUR ideas…the cinnamon. I’ll be trying that one. I also recently made a simple syrup with swerve and maple extract. This is so versatile. Thanks and I’m glad you liked it. I just did a keto tortilla you might love too.

      When you say butter sauce, is it just clarified or are there other ingredients. Always looking for new ideas, thank you.

    I made this for breakfast. The recipe doesn’t say what size skillet to use. I baked it in a 9″. It was more like a cake —- still very good. Should I use a larger pan the next time. Thanks.

      That’s a great question. I go back and forth myself. The last time I made it in a cast iron that is nine on bottom, 10 on top. It really doesn’t matter. Thanks for writing.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired.

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.
