Nourishing Almond Flour Pancakes
If you like a nourishing recipe and pancakes that are light, fluffy, moist, and flavourful, you’re going to be OBSESSED with these almond flour pancakes! I had the idea to make them this spring after waking up to intense pancake cravings. I love a filling and nourishing breakfast and almond flour is the perfect texture and nutrient-dense ingredient for the complete nourishing pancake. My soul was happy.
Grain and gluten-free, and I promise these pancakes are soft and tender, with a delicious sweet flavour and nutty texture. They are more substantial than other protein pancakes and I promise these will hold you over until lunchtime!
Grain and gluten-free, nourishing, almond flour pancakes.
INGREDIENTS
1⅓ cup blanched almond flour*,
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup almond milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup*, more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla
Coconut or Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pa
any other desired toppings you want
(I like berries, banana, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and peanut butter!)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium bowl, whisk together the spooned and leveled almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup*, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir. If your batter is very thick, stir in more almond milk. If it's too thin, sprinkle in a touch more almond flour.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the pan with a little oil and use a ¼-cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan. (Note: these are more delicate than regular flour pancakes so it's important to make them small). Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook without burning the outsides. I usually turn my heat lower after each batch as my pan starts to hold residual heat. Almond flour pancakes darken a little quicker than pancakes that use regular flour.
Serve with maple syrup, or any other toppings you enjoy🤍
I love to serve this with an oat milk latte✨
ALMOND FLOUR
Almond flour is rich in monounsaturated fat, which can help keep cholesterol under control. Reducing cholesterol significantly lowers the risk of heart disease. One study showed that women who consume 50 grams of almonds daily have lower cholesterol than women who do not. Almond flour is a low glycemic index food.
