Make light, fluffy almond flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and low-carb. This simple recipe uses common ingredients for a satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or preferred keto sweetener (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, sweetener (if using), and salt.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil 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 acceptable. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This step helps the almond flour absorb moisture, leading to fluffier pancakes.
  4. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the finished batter just before cooking.
  • If you are following a strict Keto diet, skip the coconut sugar and use a zero-calorie sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit blend.
  • These pancakes reheat well in a toaster or microwave for quick weekday breakfasts.
