Almond pancakes made with just almond flour, applesauce and eggs — no grain, no dairy, no fuss. The batter whips up fluffier than ordinary pancake mix, and the pancakes come out tender and gently sweet. Pile them with fresh berries and breakfast feels entirely normal.
Pro Tips
- Don't thin the batter — properly mixed, it should look fluffier than ordinary pancake mix, and that air is what makes them tender.
- Drop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto a well-greased pan, adding more coconut oil between batches so nothing sticks.
- Flip when bubbles form across the surface, then cook just 2 more minutes; almond flour browns quickly and dries if overcooked.
- For extra-fluffy pancakes, swap plain water for soda water in the batter.
- Serve straight from the pan with fresh berries on top — almond pancakes are at their best hot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my almond pancakes fall apart when I flip them?
They're more delicate than flour pancakes. Wait for the bubbles to form and the edges to set before flipping, and keep them small — ¼ cup of batter is the sweet spot.
Does soda water really make them fluffier?
Yes — the bubbles lighten the batter as it cooks. Substitute it for the plain water in the same amount whenever you want extra lift.
How do I keep them from sticking?
A well-greased pan plus a little fresh coconut oil between batches does it. Let the oil get hot before the batter goes in.
Can I keep them warm while cooking a batch?
Yes — hold finished pancakes on a plate in a low oven while you cook the rest. They hold beautifully and the whole batch stays hot.
