Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 whole large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add almond milk and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. It should be thick, but not too dry. If necessary, add a little more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or coconut oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges are set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve hot, with your choice of keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
