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)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons of a sugar substitute if desired

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light yellow. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If you are using a sugar substitute, mix it in now.
  4. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Cook the pancakes: 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 and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately: Stack your fluffy almond flour pancakes and top with your favorite sugar-free toppings or fresh berries.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid fully.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
  • If you are making dairy free almond pancakes, ensure you use almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
  • This is a great low carb pancake recipe; for keto almond flour pancakes, skip any added sweeteners.
