Description

Whip up a batch of these unbelievably light and fluffy almond flour pancakes. This easy recipe delivers a delicious, gluten-free, and low-carb breakfast perfect for any morning.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps ensure your pancakes are light and airy.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are blended. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract (if using), and melted coconut oil or butter to the eggs and mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This batter is naturally thicker than traditional pancake batter.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • For Keto Pancakes Recipe results, omit any added sweetener and serve with sugar-free syrup or heavy cream.
  • To achieve extra fluffy almond flour pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can easily make this a 5 ingredient pancakes recipe by omitting the vanilla extract.
  • These freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between and store in a freezer-safe bag for a quick make ahead breakfast.
