These fluffy low-carb almond flour pancakes are tender, lightly sweetened, and perfect for a healthy breakfast. They are quick to make, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
  • Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if using), and erythritol.
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy (about 1 minute). Add almond milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. If batter is too thick, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time to reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or coconut oil and let it melt to coat the surface.
  5. Pour ¼ cup batter onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) if desired.
  7. Serve warm with low-carb syrup, fresh berries, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Adjust heat to medium to avoid burning. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch. First pancake is a test to adjust heat and batter consistency.
