Almond Flour Pancakes Recipe
Description
This recipe relies on almond flour mixed with brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon to form the dry base. When combined with eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract, it creates a smooth batter suitable for skillet cooking. Cooking the batter in a nonstick pan with butter or coconut oil results in pancakes with a golden crust and tender interior.
Each pancake is portioned with a ¼ cup scoop and cooked for several minutes per side, with care taken to maintain medium heat for even cooking. This technique yields cakes that are thoroughly cooked yet retain a pleasant softness.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. They also freeze well when wrapped individually then placed together in a sealed container; frozen pancakes keep up to 3 months. This allows for convenient reheating and quick breakfast options.
