Let’s Make it Together
Gather Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out all your ingredients. It saves time later when you’re too busy drooling over that pancake stack.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until they are well combined—this is where the magic begins!
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat two eggs and add your milk of choice along with maple syrup if you’re feeling sweet. Mix until smooth and frothy.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix; we want fluffy pancakes!
Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot enough (test with a drop of water), lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Cook Your Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Let them cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), then flip gently using a spatula.
Enjoy flipping these beauties while trying not to let any escape from your skillet—you know they can be sneaky!
Once cooked through on both sides (another 2-3 minutes), transfer them to a plate while you continue with the rest of the batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or additional syrup—a delicious finish!
Now go ahead and enjoy those fluffy almond flour pancakes bursting with nutty goodness!
