Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Fine Blanched Almond Flour Not almond meal.
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Or any milk of your choice.
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup Honey or agave can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil or Butter For cooking.

Equipment

  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. The batter will thicken significantly.
  5. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease with butter or oil.
  6. Scoop ΒΌ cup of batter for each pancake onto the warm skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set.
  7. Gently flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not skip the rest time! This is essential for allowing the almond flour to hydrate, which makes the pancakes thicker and easier to flip.
Keep the heat on medium-low. Almond flour burns faster than wheat flour, so a lower temperature ensures they cook through without burning the outside.
