How to make pancakes with almond flour
- Whisk dry ingredients – Mix blanched almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Gently stir in the remaining ingredients until the batter resembles regular pancake mix consistency.
- Cook pancakes by pouring batter on a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat.
- Flip your jacks. After 2-3 minutes, flip your pancake and cook the other side.
- Top with your favorite sugar free maple syrup or other pancake syrup, jam, jelly or even peanut butter!
Pro Tip: For dairy-free pancakes, swap the heavy cream for nut milk and replace the butter with coconut oil. You may only need to use ¼ cup of nut milk total for this recipe.
Key ingredients & substitutions
- Almond flour – This flour is perfect for gluten free keto baking. I recommend using superfine blanched almond flour for this recipe. Blanched almond flour is free of skins and helps the pancakes reach a soft and fluffy texture. Almond meal it too gritty and not a preferred flour for making keto almond flour pancakes.
- Heavy cream – This adds a healthy dose of fat to the pancakes and helps moisten the other ingredients. You can swap this out for nut milk, like coconut milk, almond milk or macadamia nut milk, if preferred.
- Eggs – Use whole eggs for this recipe to help hold the pancake batter together and to help make these pancakes fluffy.
- Sugar-free sweetener – Use your favorite granulated sugar-free sweetener for this recipe. Monkfruit sweetener and Swerve are a couple of good options.
