What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter for cooking
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl beat eggs with almond milk and vanilla extract then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb the liquid slightly. This step helps the pancakes hold together better during cooking.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set then carefully flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes.
Step 4: Serve Warm
Transfer pancakes to a plate and top with remaining butter. Serve with sugar-free maple syrup or a handful of fresh raspberries and enjoy immediately while warm and fluffy.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- almond milk → full-fat coconut milk for a richer batter
- unsalted butter → coconut oil for a dairy-free cooking fat
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cooking on heat that is too high which burns the outside before the inside sets properly
- Flipping too early before the edges are fully set which causes the pancakes to break apart
