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
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.
Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
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.
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.
Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter alternative.
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.
Flip carefully: Gently 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 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.
