Why You’ll Love Them

  • Tender & Airy: A blend of almond flour and eggs creates a soft, pillowy texture.
  • Subtly Sweet: Naturally nutty flavor with just a hint of vanilla (no sugar needed).
  • Quick & Easy: From bowl to plate in under 15 minutes.
  • Versatile: Swap dairy-free milks, add spices or keto‑friendly sweeteners to suit your taste.

Ingredients (Makes 4–6 small pancakes)

  • 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream/canned coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Optional: ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Cooking fat: 1–2 Tbsp coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until pale. Stir in almond milk and vanilla until combined.
  2. Combine the Dry
    Add almond flour, baking powder, and (if using) cinnamon. Gently fold until just incorporated. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Heat Your Pan
    Warm a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium‑low heat. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter, swirling to coat.
  4. Cook the Pancakes
    Spoon 2–3 Tbsp of batter per pancake into the pan. Keep them small for easy flipping. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until edges set and bubbles appear on top. Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
  5. Serve Hot
    Stack, top with a pat of butter, drizzle sugar‑free syrup, or sprinkle low‑carb berries.

Pro Tips for Perfect Keto Pancakes

  • Patience Pays Off: Low‑and‑slow heat prevents over‑browning before the inside cooks.
  • Rest Your Batter: Thickening makes flipping easier and improves rise.
  • Keep ’Em Small: Smaller pancakes flip more reliably and cook evenly.

Make‑Ahead & Storage

  • Refrigerator: Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Layer with parchment paper in a freezer‑safe bag. Freeze up to 1 month; reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.
