You can make genuinely delicious pancakes using just almond flour without much trouble. This recipe uses one simple trick to achieve an ultra-fluffy texture, making it perfect for a healthy, low-carb breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated (yolks and whites)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until combined. If using, add your sweetener here.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This is the secret trick for fluffy almond flour pancakes.
  5. Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter in two additions using a spatula. Fold until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the air you just whipped in.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb the liquid fully.
  7. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set. You will see bubbles form on the surface before flipping.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a healthy brunch idea.

Notes

  • To achieve the best fluffy texture, make sure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks and fold them in gently.
  • If you are making these for a keto breakfast, skip the maple syrup and use a keto-approved liquid sweetener instead.
  • These grain free pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between and store in a freezer bag for up to one month.
