- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional, for keto/low-carb)
- Combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter in two additions. This step creates fluffiness.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center.
- Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol if you are following a keto diet.
- If you need dairy-free pancakes, use coconut oil and unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
- Adjust cooking time based on your stove heat; lower heat prevents burning before the center cooks.
