Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 cups Milk, Your choice e.g. Almond, Cows etc
- 2 Eggs, Large
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the spooned and leveled almond flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a small bowl whisk together the almond or your favourite milk eggs maple syrup and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir. If your batter is very thick stir in more milk until it resembles a thick batter. If it's too thin sprinkle in a touch more almond flour.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium low heat. Brush the pan with a little olive oil and use a quarter measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan. (Note: these are more delicate than regular flour pancakes so it's important to make them small).
- Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook without burning the outsides. I usually turn my heat lower after each batch as my pan starts to hold residual heat. Almond flour pancakes darken a little quicker than pancakes that use regular flour.
- Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
You can use Stevia for sweetness if you want to reduce the sugar content.
I serve mine with strawberries or blueberries and greek yogurt.
The recipe makes 6 small pancakes.
