In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but pourable. If itβs too thick, add a little more almond milk.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of low-carb toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.
