How to Make Easy Almond Flour Pancakes
Quick Overview
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Effort Level: Easier than convincing kids to eat veggies.
Key Ingredients
(Image idea: A rustic board with almond flour, applesauce, almond milk, and a whisk.)
- 1.5 cups almond flour (not meal—fine texture matters!)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (egg substitute + fluff booster)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant milk)
- 1 tsp baking powder (for lift)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but heavenly)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk almond flour and baking powder in a bowl.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in applesauce, milk, and vanilla until smooth (no lumps!).
- Rest Batter: Let sit 2 mins (almond flour absorbs liquid).
- Cook: Heat a non-stick pan over medium. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Flip when bubbles form (2-3 mins/side).
- Serve: Stack high and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
What to Serve With Almond Flour Pancakes
- Sweet: Fresh berries, coconut yogurt, or date caramel.
- Savory: Smashed avocado + everything bagel seasoning (trust us).
- Drinks: Iced matcha latte or spiced chai.
Top Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Pan Temp Test: Sprinkle water—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Too hot? They’ll burn. Too cold? They’ll stick.
- Flip Once: Resist peeking! Let them form a golden crust first.
- No Almond Flour? Swap oat flour 1:1 (but texture will be denser).
Storing & Reheating
- Fridge: Store cooled pancakes in airtight container for 3 days.
- Freeze: Layer parchment between pancakes; freeze for 3 months.
- Reheat: Pop in toaster (crispy edges!) or microwave (20 secs).
