Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour, finely ground
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk or plain yogurt thinned with a splash of milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking
- ½ cup (about 50g) toasted almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Toast the almonds: Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the chopped almonds in a single layer. Stir frequently for about 4-5 minutes until golden and nutty. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy. Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted butter. Whisk gently to combine.
- Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat the skillet: Warm a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Stack pancakes, sprinkle toasted almonds on top, and drizzle with maple syrup or favorite toppings.
Notes
Toast almonds separately and add just before serving to keep crunch. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate almond flour and improve fluffiness. Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to avoid burning. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk.
