Categories     Breakast

Number Of Ingredients 8

1⅓ cup blanched almond flour* (spooned and leveled (see note))
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup almond milk (more if needed)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (more for serving)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Extra-virgin olive oil (for the pan)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the spooned and leveled almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the almond 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 almond milk until it resembles the photos above. If it's too thin, sprinkle in a touch more almond flour. (See photo in the blog post for batter consistency).
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the pan with a little olive oil and use a ¼-cup 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.

ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES



Almond Flour Pancakes image

These super fluffy pancakes are a great gluten-free alternative to the usual pancakes made with wheat-based flours. Using almond flour also makes the pancakes super tender and a little harder to flip. Just be patient and wait until they are cooked as instructed on the first side before turning them over.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups blanched fine-ground almond flour (about 6 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 3 tablespoons of the butter to a large bowl and melt in the microwave, 30 to 60 seconds. Allow the bowl to cool slightly, then add the brown sugar and almond milk and whisk to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the almond flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until the mixture becomes a thick batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and swirl to coat. The butter should bubble vigorously but not brown. If it begins to brown, turn the heat down slightly. Scoop a heaping 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, using a small spoon to help coax the batter out and spread it to about 4 inches in diameter. Repeat to add one more pancake, taking care leave at least one inch in between. Cook until the surface of the pancakes is smooth with several tiny bubbles starting to pop up and the underside is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Be patient because undercooked pancakes will be very hard to flip.
  • When the pancakes are ready, gently work a thin, wide spatula underneath each one, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until the second side is golden brown. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Carefully wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make 4 more pancakes in 2 batches.

60ml almond milk
1 tbsp maple syrup
125g almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
blueberries, to serve

Tips:

  • For light and fluffy pancakes, make sure to separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will incorporate air into the batter and give the pancakes a light and airy texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also result in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Almond puff pancakes are fluffy, delicious, and easy to make. They're a perfect breakfast or brunch option, and they can be customized to your liking with a variety of toppings. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch treat, be sure to give these almond puff pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed.
