Method:Griddling
Cuisine:American
Diet:Gluten Free
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), vanilla extract, and optional sweetener. Mix well.
Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This batter will be thicker than traditional pancake batter.
Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. You will see bubbles form on top before flipping.
Serve immediately: Stack your fluffy almond flour pancakes and top with your favorite sugar-free syrup, berries, or a dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
For the fluffiest keto pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid.
If you want dairy-free almond pancakes, use coconut oil or a neutral oil instead of butter, and ensure your milk is non-dairy.
This recipe is naturally low-carb and grain-free, making it a great paleo pancakes with almond flour option.
