Make light, airy, and satisfying almond flour pancakes. This simple recipe delivers a delicious gluten-free and low-carb breakfast without sacrificing texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional, like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)

Instructions

  1. Combine the almond flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk them together well to break up any clumps.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted oil or butter until smooth. If you are using a sweetener, add it here.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This batter should be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid, which helps create fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  6. Pour 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.
  7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings, such as fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest keto pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
  • If you need dairy-free almond pancakes, use unsweetened almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
  • To achieve a light and airy texture, avoid stirring the batter excessively after combining wet and dry ingredients.
  • This recipe is naturally grain-free and paleo-friendly.
