Fluffy Low Carb, Almond Flour Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my favorite weekend breakfasts. I wake up early, grab my favorite pancake recipe and start cooking a big batch of perfect, fluffy pancakes. This has been my Sunday morning tradition for a long time. Of course, my pancake recipe changed a little when I became keto. That was when I made this recipe that uses almond flour to create wonderful, nutty pancakes that are even better than those “traditional” pancakes I made before.
Almond flour is made by grinding whole almonds into a fine powder. If you are shopping for almond flour in the grocery store or online, you may see different kinds of almond flour ad wonder which is the best to get. Some almond flours are made with the almond skins still on. The flour then has small brown pieces that are visible in your final baked goods. This is not a bad thing! However, if you want your pancakes to be light in color and have no sign of almond skins, just buy the almond flour that says the almonds were blanched before grinding.
You can definitely make your own almond flour at home quite quickly. Simply toss some almonds into a food processor and pulse until they are a fine powder. Don’t grind too much though or the oils may start to come out of the almonds and make a greasy mess! Keep an eye on your almonds as you grind them and stop once they resemble flour!
Almond flour can go bad quickly, especially if it gets too hot or humid. All those great fats that are in the almonds can become rancid! Store your almond flour in an airtight container in the fridge or just in a cool dark place. Be sure to check the expiration date or, at the minimum, give your almond flour a good sniff before you use it- you will be able to tell if it has gone bad by the sour smell! Almond flour will stay fresh for about a year.
Now back to the pancake recipe! Keto pancakes are made just like any other pancake recipe by mixing the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisking until the batter is smooth. If you want extra fluffy pancakes, whip the egg whites separately and then fold them into the pancake batter to give your keto breakfast a little more puff!
Our recipe adds maple pancake syrup into the pancake batter because we believe you need as much of that great maple taste as possible. Of course, you will want to have some extra pancake syrup on hand to drizzle all over your pancakes once they bake. Syrup inside and outside makes for an amazing explosion of maple flavor! Of course you can top your almond flour pancakes with some keto berries or a handful of extra toasted nuts- whatever you’d like!
Hopefully this recipe becomes part of your weekend breakfast routine as well. Sunday keto pancakes are a tradition I love and, with this recipe in hand, I know you’ll love it too! Leave your pancake pictures below- we want to see those fluffy beauties!
