Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil, plus extra for cooking
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free from lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them lightly to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
