Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes

These Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes are made with 7 simple ingredients for a light and healthy breakfast. These pancakes are fluffy, full of protein, gluten-free and keto friendly!

Pancakes made from Almond Flour

Let me start this post off by saying that I’m a serious carb lover. Big carby Vegan Bluffy Pancakes and French Toast Muffins are my jam. But some days it’s nice to enjoy a breakfast that is a little lighter in carbs and packed with extra protein and healthy fats.

Almond flour is a great option to use as a healthy low-carb flour in pancakes or a batch of Almond Flour Banana Muffins. Each serving of these almond pancakes is packed with 18 grams of protein and is perfect when you want a protein-packed breakfast option. I also make a variation of this recipe and turn them into Matcha Pancakes.

Keto Almond Flour Pancake Recipe

I’ve never actually done the Keto diet before, but it’s become wildly popular. Basically, the Keto diet is a very low-carb and high-fat diet that can help you lose weight quickly. (And specifically, burn body fat.)

While I don’t personally follow a Keto diet, I know many people who have had great success with it to help them lose weight, burn body fat or even just feel more energetic and focused.

These fluffy pancakes can be enjoyed whether you’re a carbaholic (hi!) or on a low-carb eating plan. These pancakes are keto-friendly and don’t contain any added sugar.

Pancake Ingredients

• Almond flour: it’s best to use almond flour and not almond meal. Almond flour is more finely ground than almond meal so will make for a softer texture.
• Baking powder: this is necessary to help the pancakes rise.
• Salt: for a little taste.
• Eggs: these pancakes call for 2 eggs while many pancake recipes use 1 egg. The reason for this is that almond flour is gluten-free and needs more eggs to help it bind together.
• Almond milk: you can substitute any type of milk you like here.
• Vanilla extract: for some flavour. (this is optional to add)
• Coconut oil: just a touch! This helps make the batter smoother.

How To Make Almond Flour Pancakes

Step 1

This pancake recipe is super quick and easy to make. Start by mixing the wet ingredients together in a bowl, and the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Step 2

Next, pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. The batter should resemble that of regular pancake batter, and be runny enough to pour a large spoonful into your pan.

Step 3

Cook the pancakes on medium heat, and be patient to let the pancakes cook enough on each side. When you start to see little bubbles forming on top of the pancakes, that’s when you know it’s time to flip them!

Step 4

Serve immediately with your favourite toppings to store for another time.

How To Store leftovers

Store any leftover pancakes in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the pancakes on the stovetop or in the oven.

How to Freeze Almond Flour Pancakes

These pancakes are freezer-friendly. To freeze them place the pancakes in the freezer on a baking sheet for 1 hour to lightly freeze, (this will prevent the pancakes from sticking together) then place them in a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Defrost on the countertop or in the microwave.
