Treat yourself to a stack of wholesome, guilt-free Low Fat Almond Pancakes, a delicious fusion of whole wheat and almond flours that delivers a nutty flavor and satisfying texture. Perfect for health-conscious foodies, this recipe swaps high-calorie ingredients for nutrient-packed alternatives like non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and egg whites, keeping it low in fat without sacrificing taste. Lightly sweetened with honey and delicately scented with vanilla, these pancakes are both nourishing and indulgent. Quick and easy to make in just 30 minutes, they are a fantastic choice for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of almond slices for a perfectly balanced and irresistibly tasty way to start your day.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, about 1 minute.
Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey to the frothy egg whites. Stir until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray if needed.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear defined.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of sliced almonds.
