Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup super-fine almond flour Make sure it's super-fine for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds a warm, comforting flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors.
  • 2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener A great low-carb alternative to sugar.
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure and richness.
  • 2 tablespoons water Adjusts the batter consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or coconut oil Adds moisture and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For a hint of sweetness and aroma.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and monk fruit sweetener until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat together the wet ingredients: eggs, water, avocado or coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep your pancakes fluffy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil if needed.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze pancakes with parchment paper between them for easy reheating later.
  • Experiment with different toppings to keep it exciting!
