Almond Flour Pancakes

Golden brown pancakes with almond flour.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 125 ml (½ cup) almond milk
• 1 ½ Tablespoons date syrup
• 2 teaspoons almond extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 220 g almond flour
• 1 ½ Tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

1. Place all ingredients except coconut oil into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the machine and slowly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 20 – 30 seconds, using the tamper as necessary to press ingredients toward the blades.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add coconut oil and heat. Be careful when cooking the pancakes as the almond flour is delicate and can easily burn.
4. Pour or scoop pancakes into the pan in desired size. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip and continue cooking on the other side.
5. Serve immediately with your favourite jam, fresh fruit, or syrup.

Notes

• Be careful when cooking these pancakes as the almond flour is delicate and can easily burn. Almond flour, though gluten-free, is very calorie-dense.
• This recipe makes very filling high-protein and high-fibre pancakes. A great way to start an active day!
• Using an egg substitute in this recipe will not produce an ideal texture due to the lack of gluten in almond flour to hold the pancakes together.
