Almond Flour Pancakes
Almond Flour Pancakes are made with almond flour combined with baking powder, salt, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. The batter is gently cooked in a lightly oiled skillet, yielding small pancakes that are delicate and tender. These pancakes have a softly textured crumb with a subtle nutty flavor from the almond flour component. They provide an alternative to wheat pancakes and require careful handling to flip without breaking due to the batter's fragile nature.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour spooned and leveled, blanched
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 egg large
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- extra-virgin olive oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If the batter appears too thick, gradually add additional almond milk. And if it is too runny, add more almond flour to thicken it.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, scoop and pour the batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes. Keep in mind almond flour batter is more fragile than traditional pancake batter and smaller pancakes are easier to flip.
- Cook each pancake for 1 to 2 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Almond flour can brown more quickly than wheat flour so you can adjust the heat to prevent overbrowning.
- Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup. I sometimes top them with fresh berries and a bit of Greek yogurt for added protein.
