Dairy-Free Option
No matter if you’re dairy-free or not, this recipe has you covered. Just easily adapt the pancakes completely into being dairy free based on preference.

Required Ingredients

Almond Flour: While many people use almond meal in place of almond flour in their keto recipes, using almond flour makes all the difference in the world for achieving the best texture possible. Really makes a difference!

Almond Milk: If you don’t have almond milk, you can make do with half water and half heavy cream. Do not, however, simply use heavy cream as it overpowers the batter and makes the pancake more dense.

Avocado Oil: Use liquid oil like avocado oil to make sure that you get a nice smooth batter. Melted butter or coconut oil do the trick, but often leave the resulting batter too thick to pour. Bonus: with avocado oil, this recipe is totally dairy free, too.

Sweetener: Most granular sweeteners work well in this recipe, but beware of allulose as it makes pancakes brown too quickly.

Eggs: Keto pancakes use more eggs than normal pancakes, but don’t freak out-once cooked, there’s no eggy taste!

Pantry Staples: Don’t forget to include the essentials, such as a shot of vanilla extract, baking powder, and a touch of salt-as these are what drive that comfortable pancake flavor you hear everyone talking about.

How to Prepare

1. Mix wet ingredients
   In a blender, combine eggs, almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the remaining wet ingredients gradually and blend until they become well combined. The eggs and liquid components must be well-blended to create an un-lumped pancake base.
2. Add Dry Ingredients
   Add almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt to the running blender. Continue to blend till the batter is smooth and all dry ingredients are well incorporated into the mixture. Let it sit around 5 minutes-the resting period works on thicken the batter and gives fluffier pancakes.
3. Cooking Pancakes
   Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat or lightly grease the surface. Place about 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, then spread it with the back of a spoon or a spatula into a circle roughly 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Let the pancakes cook for 2 to 3 minutes, watching the edges as they firm up and small bubbles begin to form on the surface.
4. Flip and Finish Slip a thin spatula under the pancake and flip it over. Cook until other side is golden brown, well cooked, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat this with all the batter; a little oil may now be added to the pan when it shows signs of the pancakes starting to stick.

Expert Tips

1. Use a Blender
If the batter needs to be light and soft, then ingredients must also be well ground. Ideally, a blender can be used; however, if one does not have the availability of a blender, an immersion blender or stand mixer is adequate to help beat out the ingredients just enough so that air could be incorporated into the batter to make fluffy pancakes
2. Allow the Batter to Rest
Let the batter rest about 5 minutes. This is what would actually help the almond flour hydrate from the eggs and liquids to thicken the batter to give this a great consistency. It can also minimize chancing the pancakes falling apart while they are being cooked.
