Make light, fluffy almond flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and low-carb. This simple recipe delivers a wholesome breakfast treat quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit for keto)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If using sweetener, stir it in now.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid, which helps create a fluffier texture.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, then whip the whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped whites into the batter last.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Use blanched, finely ground almond flour, not almond meal, for the lightest texture.
