Discover the best almond flour pancake recipe for a light, fluffy, and satisfying gluten-free breakfast. This easy recipe is perfect for a low-carb or Keto morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or avocado oil (plus more for the griddle)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until fully mixed. This step helps create a lighter texture.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Stir in the melted oil.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid, which is key for fluffy results.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter alternative.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully: Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately: Stack your fluffy almond flour pancakes and top with your favorite low-carb syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • For Keto pancakes, omit any added sweetener and serve with a sugar-free syrup.
  • To make these dairy-free, ensure you use unsweetened almond milk or another non-dairy option.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter flavor without adding sugar, add 1/2 teaspoon of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the dry ingredients.
  • For extra lift, separate the egg whites, whip them to soft peaks, and gently fold them into the batter at the very end.
