- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Servings

Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Almond flour is the star of this show, giving these pancakes their fluffy texture and nutty flavor.
Step 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This liquid mix will give our pancakes that lovely, batter-like consistency.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The key here is not to over-mix; we want to keep the batter light and airy. If it looks a bit thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to get the right consistency.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or coconut oil. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Keto Almond Flour Pancakes warm, topped with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. These pancakes are perfect for stacking high and diving into.
Tips for Success
- Almond Flour: Use blanched almond flour for the best texture. Almond meal can be a bit too coarse and result in a grainy pancake.
- Consistency: If your batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk to thin it out. If it’s too runny, add a bit more almond flour.
- Cooking: Keep the heat medium-low to ensure the pancakes cook through without burning. Patience is key!
