Make light, fluffy almond flour pancakes that are naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly. This simple recipe delivers delicious results for a healthy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., erythritol or stevia for keto)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder. Add the salt and any sweetener you use.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  3. Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  4. Rest the batter (The Fluff Trick): Let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid fully, which helps create a lighter texture.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. 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 the fluffiest almond flour pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder will result in flat pancakes.
  • Use fine, blanched almond flour, not almond meal, for the best texture.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • These pancakes are naturally low carb and keto breakfast ideas, but check your sweetener’s carb count if strictly tracking.
