Make light and fluffy almond flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free. This simple recipe uses few ingredients and delivers a healthy, low-carb breakfast quickly.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract (if using) 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 fine.
  4. Rest the batter (The Secret Trick): Let the batter sit undisturbed for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid fully, which is key to achieving a fluffy texture.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or butter.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a high-protein option, add 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • To keep these keto pancakes low-carb, skip any added sweeteners in the batter and top with sugar-free syrup or fresh berries.
  • If your batter seems too thick after resting, add 1 teaspoon of almond milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
