Grain-Free Protein Almond Butter Pancakes (Keto, Paleo)

These Grain-Free Protein Almond Butter Pancakes are made with almond flour and protein powder, blended with almond butter, almond milk, eggs, and a touch of cinnamon for flavor. The batter is cooked slowly on medium-low heat to develop firm edges and a cooked-through center, producing a soft texture with nutty flavor and a hint of spice.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour or hazelnut flour, Super Fine
  • 2 Tbsp tapioca flour
  • 3 hemp protein powder or 3 Tbsp protein powder of choice, scoops
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt sea salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup almond butter room temperature, unsweetened unsalted creamy
  • 2/3 cup almond milk unsweetened
  • 2 egg large
Optional Add-In:
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup optional
For Serving:
  • almond butter or regular butter
  • fig preserves
  • almond chopped, roasted
  • pure maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the pancakes to a blender and blend until smooth. (Note: The batter can turn out thick if your almond butter is very thick. Add more almond milk to the batter as needed).
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium-low and add enough coconut oil (or olive oil) to generously coat the surface. Once skillet is completely hot, measure out 1/4 cup of batter and pour onto the hot surface. Cook until the edges of the pancake appear as though they are firming up (bubbles likely won't rise to the top), then flip and continue cooking until the pancakes are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side (these pancakes take longer to cook than regular pancakes!!) Repeat for remaining batter (you can cook 3 to 4 pancakes at a time).
  3. Serve with almond butter, fig preserves, chopped roasted almonds, and/or pure maple syrup. If you follow a low-carb, ketogenic diet, drizzle some sugar-free maple syrup on top!
