Fluffy Almond Flour Pancake Recipe

If you’re looking for a gluten-free and low-carb pancake recipe, these fluffy almond flour pancakes are a great option. They are made with almond flour instead of wheat flour, which gives them a nutty flavor and a tender, fluffy texture. This recipe makes about 8-10 pancakes and can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
4. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb the liquid and create air pockets in the batter, resulting in extra fluffy pancakes.
5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly brush it with vegetable oil or coat it with cooking spray.
6. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the hot skillet or griddle. Use the back of the measuring cup to gently spread the batter into an even layer.
7. Cook until the edges of the pancake begin to set and the surface begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan lightly with oil between batches.
10. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Tips:

• Almond flour can vary in texture, so make sure to use a finely ground almond flour for best results.
• Don’t overmix the batter as this can lead to tough, dense pancakes. Mix the batter until it’s just combined and there are still some lumps.
• Use a nonstick pan or griddle to ensure that the pancakes don’t stick and cook evenly.
• Don’t press down on the pancakes while cooking as this can make them dense.
• For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 tsp of almond extract to the batter.

Conclusion:

These almond flour pancakes are a great gluten-free and low-carb alternative to regular pancakes. Follow the recipe and use the tips provided for the best results. Customize the recipe with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch!
