I love making these almond flour pancakes for two excellent reasons. One, they are gluten-free. Two, I use almond extract—which gives these pancakes a lovely almond flavor.

Furthermore, this recipe works with add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Ingredients You Will Need
The ingredients listed are in no particular order.

| Eggs | They will help bind the pancakes since there is no gluten. |
| Milk | Feel free to use your favorite milk of choice. For example, almond milk would be ideal to complement the almond flour. wouldn’t |
| Maple Syrup | Pure maple syrup will add that additional all-natural sweetness we crave in pancakes. It will go in the batter and on top. |
| Almond Extract | Using almond extract instead of vanilla is completely necessary for this recipe. It adds a lovely almond flavor. |
| Other Essential Ingredients | Baking powder to help them rise and fluff up. Kosher salt to balance out the sweetness. |

Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour with a 1:1 ratio. However, if you use a regular pancake recipe, you may need to adjust the eggs in the recipe to help bind the flour. In my recipe, I use two eggs.
There are about 23 carbs in these pancakes. Look at the bottom of the recipe card for the full nutritional value of the pancakes.
Almond flour is made from crushed almonds. Therefore, it is low in carbs and used frequently for low-carb diets.
Pancake With Almond Flour Tips
- Make sure to separate your wet ingredients from the dry ingredients.
- Use a cast-iron pan to create those crispy edges.
- Grease your cast-iron pan well with butter, coconut oil, or grease of choice.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This will help soften the almond flour and thicken the batter.
- Make sure to cook these pancakes on medium-low heat. Wipe out the pan after each cooked pancake if cooking one by one or after each batch.

Easy Almond Flour Pancakes
Recipe Cost 4.87 Serving Cost 1.62
Recipe Cost $ 4.87 Serving Cost $ 1.62Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot flour for paleo
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Enough grass-fed gee or coconut oil for greasing the pan.
Optional add-ins (either or)
- ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all of the wet ingredients together and whisk until homogenized liquid forms. Set the wet ingredients aside.
- When ready, in a separate mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
- Next, add the dry ingredients with the wet. Fold and mix to combine. Do not be afraid to over-mix, there is no gluten in here. Set the batter aside on the countertop for 10 minutes to rest. Resting the batter will ensure the pancakes are nice and fluffy.
- Finally, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. I find that almond flour pancakes do not thrive on high-heat. Once heated, dollop or spray grease of choice all over the pan. Next, add about 1/3 cup of batter ( I like to use my measuring cup for this part).
- Then, cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom is nicely golden brown. Flip and continue to cook for an additional minute.
- Repeat the process until all pancakes have been made.
- Serve with fresh blueberries on top and warm maple syrup.
Notes
- The heat is too high if the pancakes are getting browner faster than the insides are cooked.
- If the pancakes are not fluffy and tender, the batter might not have rested long enough.

These pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts. I love that I can still enjoy a pancake breakfast but I’m getting more nutrition than just a bunch of white flour.

Delicious pancakes! Thanks for your tip about resting the batter, it made all the difference.

This recipe was delicious! I used almond milk and added in some cinnamon. The texture was still light and fluffy, definitely will make it again!
