What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup almond flour blanched
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup mixed fresh berries blueberries strawberries raspberries
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil for cooking
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with almond milk until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Let batter rest for 2 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan. Do not crowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form and edges look dry.
Step 3: Flip Carefully
Flip pancakes gently using a thin wide spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side until golden brown. Almond flour pancakes are more delicate than regular pancakes so flip gently and only once.
Step 4: Serve with Berries
Stack cooked pancakes on a plate and top with fresh mixed berries. Serve immediately while warm. A drizzle of a small amount of sugar-free maple syrup is optional for added sweetness without extra carb impact.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- almond flour → coconut flour using only 0.25 cup as it absorbs much more liquid than almond flour
- almond milk → full-fat coconut milk for richer more indulgent pancakes
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cooking on too high heat which burns the outside of almond flour pancakes before the center is cooked
- Making the pancakes too large which makes them nearly impossible to flip without breaking
