Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol (optional, for sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, erythritol (if using), and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Form the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a thick, uniform batter forms without lumps.
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with your favorite low-carb toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a sweeter pancake, add erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener.
- Make sure your skillet is properly preheated to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed to maintain even cooking.
- These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- Experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, or keto-friendly syrups for variety.
