Almond flour pancakes are grain-free, gluten-free and seriously delicious.  My family loves eating these paleo-friendly pancakes topped with bananas and maple syrup.

These almond flour pancakes are light, fluffy, moist, and absolutely addictive.  The natural sweet flavor from the almonds creates a delicious base and the healthy fats help to keep you satiated for hours.

Grain + Gluten-Free Almond Flour Pancakes

The secret to making your almond flour pancakes light and fluffy, is using a combination of almond flour and tapioca flour.

I’ve partnered with my friends at Bob’s Red Mill (again!) because they are my favorite and offer a huge variety of high quality whole grains and flour alternatives to satisfy all types of dietary approaches.  They make non-traditional recipes, like this one, super easy to make.  That’s why they are my go-to brand for healthy baking and pancake making.

Grain + Gluten-Free Flour

Almond flour and tapioca flour are both grain and gluten-free.

Almond flour is made from blanched almonds that have been ground up into a fine meal.  It’s a naturally gluten-free, low-carb flour which is why we often see it used in paleo recipes or grain-free baking.   

Tapioca flour is a starchy, slightly sweet flour that comes from the cassava plant, and it works really well as a thickener.  I love adding it to grain-free batters like these pancakes.

It may seem like a bother to use two flours to make your pancakes, but I promise that the results are well worth the effort.

How To Make Almond Flour Pancakes

• Combine almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk almond milk, egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until everything has come together.
• Heat a medium non-stick skillet over a medium heat and coat with butter or coconut oil.
• Scoop 1/4 cup pancake batter and pour into the pan to form a small to medium sized pancake.
• Cook until the edges begin to puff and the bottom is golden brown.  Flip and cook until cooked through.
• Serve with your favorite pancake toppings! I love bananas and maple syrup with these.

Notes

*Blanched almond flour keeps these pancakes super light and fluffy.  You can use almond flour that is not blanched, but the end result will be a little more dense.
