Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 extra large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk – or almond milk, soy milk, plant-based milk
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups finely ground almond flour (use blanched almond flour)
- ———
- optional: 1 tsp zest (orange or lemon)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh berries ( preferably huckleberries or blueberries) – divided
- 1– 2 tablespoons butter, olive oil or coconut oil for skillet
- more maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (to keep pancakes warm, and cook through)
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Whisk in baking powder, salt, and almond flour. Adjust the thickness of the batter- if you want it thicker add another 1-2 tablespoons of almond flour, or for a thinner batter add a tablespoon of milk.
- Optional: fold in 1/2 cup of berries and the zest.
- Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan and coat with olive oil over medium-low heat. Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet, 2-3 pancakes at a time. TIP: Making smaller pancakes is much easier here as bigger pancakes tend to break with almond flour. Cook until edges become golden brown, or bubbles form on top. Flip with a spatula, cook until perfectly golden on the other side. Place them in the oven to finish cooking through, as you continue making the rest of the pancakes. (Alternatively, you can cook through on the stovetop over very low heat- but almond flour does tend to darken very quickly- so I prefer the oven method. Up to you.)
- Stack the pancakes, top with butter and fresh berries and pour a little warm maple syrup over top.
Notes
Feel free to sub other berries. If using strawberries, slice before adding to the batter.
