Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (about 100 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (about 120 ml)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (as sweetener)
- Chopped bananas, blueberries, or diced apples (fruits)
- Chopped walnuts or pecans (nuts)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Assemble all the ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cinnamon or nutmeg if using, and whisk together to evenly distribute.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
- Blend the mixtures. Gently incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix for tender pancakes. At this stage, optionally fold in sweeteners, fruits, or nuts.
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if desired. Pour batter in small circles onto the heated surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy. Flip each pancake carefully and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, or nuts.
Notes
- Use almond milk or other milk alternatives for a dairy-free version.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter with a splash more milk if too thick.
- Cooking on medium heat prevents burning while ensuring even cooking.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low carb.
