Recipe Tips

• Use blanched almond flour for the best texture.
• Keep the heat on medium-low to prevent burning.
• Wait for bubbles before you try to flip.
• Use a thin spatula for a clean lift.
• Don’t crowd the pan while cooking.
• Sift the flour to avoid grainy lumps.
• Wipe the pan between batches for perfection.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Fold in a handful of fresh blueberries.
• Add mini chocolate chips for a treat.
• Stir in a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
• Mix in lemon zest for a bright flavor.

Common Questions

Can I use almond meal instead?

Almond meal is courser and darker. It will make the pancakes denser. Blanched flour is the gold standard here.

Are these pancakes keto-friendly?

They are very low in carbs. To make them strictly keto, swap maple syrup. Use a sugar-free liquid sweetener instead.
