Servings: 10 Medium-Sized Pancakes
Almond Flour Pancakes Recipe
Grain-free almond flour pancakes are moist, fluffy, and packed with fiber and a little protein. Healthier pancakes that are ideal for those who eat a gluten-free diet or a grain-free diet.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely ground almond flour
- 3 Tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or canned coconut milk*
- 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup optional
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Mix the eggs, milk, pure maple syrup and pure vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add in the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon (of adding) and mix until a thick batter forms. The batter should be thicker than regular pancake batter but should mix easily. Note: You can add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend to combine for easy prep and cleanup.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of avocado oil or coconut oil to fully coat the surface.
- Measure out a scant ¼ cup of batter and pour it on the hot skillet. Allow the batter to cook a couple of minutes, until you can tell the pancakes are setting up around the edges.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook them on the other side for another minute or two, until they’re cooked through. Repeat this process for the remaining batter. Adjust the heat level if needed throughout the cooking process.
- Top pancakes with your favorite toppings, and enjoy! I like to top mine with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, pure maple syrup and/or almond butter.
Notes
While the tapioca flour is optional, it helps keep the pancakes held together nicely, which aids in the flipping process. If your pancakes aren't staying together while flipping, add a small amount of additional tapioca flour.
*Varying brands of almond flour contain varying levels of absorbency. Start with 1/2 cup of milk and adjust up if need be. The batter should be thicker than regular pancake batter, but should mix easily.
