This is probably the wrong way to start this recipe post, but I'm actually not a huge fan of pancakes.
I find them too doughy and heavy, and if I were to eat any at all, I might manage with one...in a year...if at all.
So imagine my surprise when I started developing this grain-free pancake recipe and I found that I actually liked them!
I really really liked them!
And I'm thinking you might, too!
These almond pancakes come together quick and easy. It's a simple as combining all the dry ingredients in one bowl, combining all the wet ingredients in another bowl, and then mixing it all together!
Then all you've got to do is scoop some of this magic almond pancake batter into the pan, fry, flip, done!
These almond pancakes are grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, and the triple almond refers to almond flour, almond butter, and almond milk!
They are fluffy, light, and tender and perfect with some maple syrup or on their own.
Fancy having chocolate or blueberry pancakes? Simply add ⅓ cup of either to your batter before frying.
I started working on this recipe mainly since my boys like pancakes once in a while, but like me, they, too, found regular pancakes a bit too much. I also wanted to figure out a gluten-free version that my husband could enjoy since he's the gluten-free one in the house.
That being said, we can all benefit from these almond pancakes being grain-free.
If you enjoy pancakes, but have been looking for a gluten-free, low-carb version, look no further!
While I do like these pancakes, that doesn't mean I'm going to be eating them every week. But if I ever feel like it's a pancake sort of day, these will be the ones I'll happily be whipping up!

Delicious! I've tried a number of grain free pancake recipes through the years, but I've never made one with almond butter in it. #gamechanger The thickness and flavor it adds to the pancakes was delightful! My husband thoroughly enjoyed them too. I ran low on vanilla and had maybe a 1/2 tsp, so I added some cinnamon to the batter. And I exchanged honey for the maple syrup. This is officially added to my GF Breakfast file. Thanks, again!
Hey Darla! Thanks for making my recipe, and thanks for sharing your substitutions! I'm really glad you and your husband enjoyed them.

I haven't had pancakes since going gluten-free. Like you, I am not a huge fan of them- but every so often when I make brunch (or breakfast for dinner,) I miss them. These look SO fluffy and amazing. Pinning!

What perfect timing! I was planning to make almond flour pancakes this weekend, so it would be the perfect opportunity to use your recipe. I like almond flour pancakes much better than the glutenous ones I remember from so long ago!
Wow...that is perfect timing! Let me know how they turn out, Cathy! I hope you like them!
