As much as I love some good old pancakes, I’ve been trying hard to cut down on carbs, sweets and anything heavy. It’s not easy, I’m telling you! But it’s certainly doable, especially that I make sure I always have some healthy snacks around in case my sweet tooth strikes.

This is the reason why the last dessert recipe I posted was before the New Year. I blame those resolutions, let’s see how long it takes till I go back to my old habits.

Although I must say I’m quite happy that I’m going down the healthier eating path. It makes one think twice before indulging. And it certainly makes me read food labels better, it’s just shocking how you can go through hundreds of calories without thinking.

How TO make fluffy almond pancakes

Now, these almond pancakes don’t have the same texture or taste as the regular wheat flour pancakes. They can certainly be fluffy, but they are different, they taste different, and if you are not a fan of almonds in general, you might not like them.

They have a slightly grainy texture, since the almond flour is not as fine as the wheat flour. And because the almond flour is a lot lighter, they can break easily, hence why using a non-stick pan is a must.

  • in a bowl, add the almond flour and baking powder
  • beat the eggs very well until pale yellow, that will ensure the pancakes are fluffy and light
  • add the milk, honey or maple if you use (but it’s not necessary) and vanilla extract
  • leave the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes so it can thicken a bit
  • heat up a frying pan, add a drop of oil, then half a ladleful of batter

I came to the conclusion that keeping the pancakes small is the best, they can be flipped over easily. The bigger they are, the heavier they get, so it’s not easy to flip them onto the other side.

The almond pancakes cook a lot faster than regular pancakes, so flip them over after 30 seconds or so. Make sure you use a drop of oil or butter before adding any more batter, so that they don’t stick to the pan

Is almond flour healthy?

It certainly is. Almond flour is basically ground blanched almonds without their skin. The flour is super low carb, low calorie, and a lot less processed than regular white flour.

Almond flour is a lot lighter than wheat flour, so you have to use a larger amount of almond flour when you replace the white flour from any recipe.

You can use it with both sweet or savoury recipes, and it’s actually easily available on most supermarkets. The only inconvenience is the price, it’s a lot more expensive than white flour. As with anything healthier, I guess.

    Can’t wait to use this recipe. I was wondering if the whole recipe is one serving size.
