About This Recipe

Ever since my wife's mother gifted us a bag of almond flour from Costco (I think she bought it because it sounded cool, but she never ended up using it), I've been thinking of ways to use it up. Almond flour tends to spoil quickly, like all nut products, so I've kept it in my freezer for almost a year now. After seeing almond flour pancakes at a breakfast restaurant a few weeks ago, I had the idea to try making them at home!

They came out soft and fluffy, just like regular pancakes, but were much more filling and satisfying thanks to the almond flour. They're slightly more fragile than regular pancakes since almond flour doesn't provide the same structure as regular flour, but they're still super delicious. You just have to be a little more gentle when flipping, as they're more tender.

Key Ingredients

Almond flour: Of course! You can use store-bought or make your own by blending in a high-speed blender. Just add the almonds to the cup and blend until super fine. The texture is right when the almonds are so fine that they start clumping up.

Baking powder: To help lift your almond flour pancakes, you'll need baking powder. Make sure it's fresh and hasn't expired, otherwise it will affect their rise.

Salt: To elevate all the flavors.

Almond milk: This is what I used, but you can use any type of milk for this recipe.

Eggs: Act as a binder for all the ingredients.

Maple syrup: These pancakes are sweetened naturally with maple syrup. You can also use honey!

Vanilla extract: For warm, cozy flavor.

Instructions

STEP 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

STEP 2: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

STEP 3: Pour the milk mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.

STEP 4: Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly with some butter or oil. When the pan is hot, scoop ¼ cup of batter into the pan. Cook until the edges start to set and the surface looks slightly dry, about 2 minutes.

STEP 5: Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
