Method:Griddling
Cuisine:American
Diet:Gluten Free
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups 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
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit for Keto)
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until fully mixed.
Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted oil or butter until smooth.
Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If using sweetener, mix it in now. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. This step helps achieve a fluffy texture.
Heat the griddle: Lightly grease a non-stick griddle or large skillet with coconut oil or butter and heat it over medium-low heat. The lower heat helps them cook through without burning the edges.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately: Stack your fluffy almond flour pancakes high and top with fresh berries or sugar-free syrup for a wholesome morning meal.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter last.
If your batter seems too thick after resting, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
These pancakes are naturally low-carb and keto friendly when you skip traditional sugar.
