  • DIRECTIONS
    1. In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, milk and vanilla extract.

    3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, melt one tablespoon butter or oil.

    Notes:
    What kind of sweetener can we use to make almond pancakes?
    To make these pancakes sweet but still low-carb and sugar free you can use stevia, Erythritol, Xylitol, Yacon syrup or any other sweetener. If you don’t care about the sugar you can use white/brown sugar.
    What kind of almonds can we use?
    To make fluffy pancakes you need ground almond/almond meal/almond flour. The most important thing is to use finely ground almonds and not coarsely ground almonds.
    • Instead of maple syrup you can use any other sweetener. Or you can skip this step and not drizzling the pancakes with syrup.

      1. I halved this recipe and it made 3!

  2. Holy shit. Just made these for brunch. I halved the recipe and it made 3 pancakes. Perfect serving size for me. I used toffee drops from My Protein in place of the vanilla and OMG these have changed the game. Couldn’t recommend this recipe enough. No toppings needed but of course had to have pb and j on one…

  3. These are excellent. I use kefir instead of milk because I find it helps keep them moist and fluffy. It usually requires a touch more liquid and cooking time. Honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference between these and flour pancakes. It makes four large pancakes. My husband an I split that with a side of protein. It keeps us full and it doesn’t raise my blood sugar. Kudos!

  4. Maybe I’m missing it, but can someone point me to where the nutritional facts are? I’d like to know how many carbs are in this.

      1. These are totally keto-friendly/low carb. For the milk, use unsweetened almond milk. For the syrup, use a sugar-free alternative. Everything else are approved keto foods.

  6. Recipe sounded interesting.. Too bad they forgot to put the macros (carb count)…
    Without that, the recipe is unusable. Thanks for trying anyway.

        12 net carb are not low-carb. Net carbs are deceptive. And Keto is technically under 30 total carbs per day and this would use way over a 1/3 of your daily allottment of carbs.

    I use heavy whipping cream but it was light then I added water I used egg beaters for my eggs and I ground up oatmeal and use that as my flour, I added some blueberries and a had sugar-free blueberry syrup, so that really worked out well for me.

  9. I’ve made these a few times and they’re delicious. I used half-and-half, a squirt of liquid Stevia (from Trader Joe”s) and sugar free syrup). I don’t eat these often, but they hit the spot if you are eating low carb and have a craving for pancakes.
