Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons Coconut oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then add almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are small lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto the heated skillet. Spread slightly into a round shape, if necessary.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly between batches if needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
