4. Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create the perfect batch of almond flour pancakes:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar (if using). Ensure all ingredients are well combined for a consistent batter.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter (or coconut oil), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Once combined, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

3. Mix the Batter

Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb the liquid. This step is similar to preparing the batter for our Broccoli Cheddar Cups – allowing the ingredients to meld together enhances the final product!

4. Cook the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.

5. Tips for Perfect Almond Flour Pancakes

Here are some tips to ensure your almond flour pancakes turn out perfect every time:

• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Mix until just combined.
• Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to sit for a few minutes helps the almond flour absorb the liquid, resulting in a better texture.
• Use Medium Heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat ensures they cook evenly without burning.
• Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener to your preference.
• Add Flavor: Experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
