Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy-free milk)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sweetener (optional, for keto)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter, plus more for the griddle
Instructions
Combine the almond flour, baking powder, sweetener (if using), and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk dry ingredients together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs and almond milk until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter.
Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the edges look set and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
Serve immediately with your preferred toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
You can make these pancakes ahead; store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, then reheat briefly in a toaster or skillet.
If you need a dairy-free option, ensure you use almond milk and coconut oil.
