Whip up a batch of light, airy, and satisfying almond flour pancakes. This easy recipe is gluten-free and perfect for a wholesome, low-carb start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (plus more for the griddle)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Combine the almond flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk them together well to break up any clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil or butter, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener to the eggs. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This step helps keep your pancakes fluffy.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. You want the pan hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. You know it is time to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook the second side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve your light and airy pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy almond flour pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
  • If you are making this a keto almond flour breakfast, skip the optional sweetener and serve with sugar-free syrup or fresh berries.
  • You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by using coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute.
  • If you want to add chocolate chips or blueberries, gently fold them into the batter right before cooking.
