Almond Flour Pancakes
Preparing a
batch of these ultra-soft almond flour pancakes for your next weekend brunch is
a no-brainer. They are fast, gluten-free and can be dressed as you see fit.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or any other liquid oil)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (use sugar-free syrup for keto)
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
INSTRUCTIONS
SKILLET
PANCAKES
First, preheat
a skillet over medium-low heat on the stove. While it is heating, combine the
almond flour, eggs, maple syrup (if used), olive oil, baking powder, vanilla
and salt in a large bowl. The batter will be a little thicker than traditional
pancake batter.
Then, grease
the preheated pan with butter or olive oil, then pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of
batter in the center of the pan (I use a little 1/4 cup). Use a spatula to
spread the dough into a round pancake, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Cook until
small bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pancake, and as soon as the
bottom is solid enough to turn (about 3 to 4 minutes of cooking time), use a
spatula to turn the pancake and cook the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
Repeat with
the remaining batter, until all the pancakes are cooked. I usually get about 6
pancakes from this lot which are about 4 to 6 inches in diameter. Even if they
are smaller, they are very generous! Serve hot with your favorite garnishes.
OVEN
PANCAKES
Prepare the
dough as shown above, but instead of using the stove, preheat the oven to 350 °
F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the
prepared dough by 1/4 cup onto the lined baking sheet and use a spoon or
spatula to spread the dough into a round pancake shape until it reaches 1/4
inch thick. Leave about 1 inch between each pancake and repeat with the
remaining batter until you have about 6 pancakes on the pan.
Bake at 350
° F for 10 minutes. The pancakes should swell and you don't need to flip them
over, as long as they look well cooked. I like to turn them over to serve, so
the golden side is above. Serve hot with your favorite pancake toppings. Happy
Cooking Time.
