Amazing Almond Flour Pancakes (Gluten-Free and Paleo-Friendly)

While trying many of the grain free pancake ideas out there, I discovered that many pancake recipes are just too 'eggy' or include bananas in the recipe. A lot of the recipes resulted in pancakes that were too flat and broke apart when flipping. I wanted a recipe that was like the Aunt Jemima® pancakes I grew up with: delicious and fluffy. After much experimentation with recipes and reading forum comments, I finally put together something reminiscent of childhood quality pancakes. Top with maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¼ cup water, or as needed
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life®), or more to taste (Optional)
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a lightly oiled griddle to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk almond flour, chocolate chips, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk egg, egg white, honey, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture, adding enough water to reach a pancake batter consistency.

Step 3

Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the prepared griddle and cook until pancakes are golden brown and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
