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 sweetener (optional, for keto use erythritol or skip)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (for batter, plus more for griddle)
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking powder, sweetener (if using), and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk them together well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and melted coconut oil or butter until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This batter will be thicker than traditional pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. You know they are ready to flip when the edges look set and bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip carefully and cook the second side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with fresh berries or maple syrup.
Notes
For extra fluffy almond flour pancakes, separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the whites to soft peaks, then gently fold them into the final batter.
If you need a dairy-free option, use almond milk and coconut oil.
These pancakes are naturally low-carb and keto-adaptable; skip the added sweetener for the lowest carb count.
