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 melted coconut oil or avocado oil (plus more for the griddle)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (optional, for low-carb use erythritol or monk fruit)
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light. Add the almond milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract. 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. If using sweetener, mix it in now.
Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid, which helps create fluffier pancakes.
Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter substitute.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 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.
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 and top with your favorite sugar-free syrup or fresh berries.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whip the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter at the end.
If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the almond milk with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free, keto-friendly option.
These pancakes are naturally grain-free and paleo-friendly.
