Pancakes

Last month we had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants with friends Gary and Nancy. During this sumptuous meal, Gary mentioned that he was looking for a good pancake recipe. I’ve decided to pass on our secret family formula.
My children like these pancakes –a lot. High in protein, we eat them for breakfast, lunch and every now and then, dinner. Enjoy.
3 cups blanched almond flour
½ cup heavy cream
8 eggs
½ cup salted butter, melted
¼ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch celtic sea salt
butter for frying
- In a blender, combine almond flour, cream, eggs, butter, agave, vanilla, baking soda and salt and blend on high until smooth
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat
- When butter is hot, ladle pancake batter onto skillet
- Pancakes will bubble, when bubbles open, flip pancakes over and cook on other side
- When pancakes are done, remove from heat to a plate
- Ladle more batter onto skillet and make additional batches, adding more butter to grease skillet as needed
- Serve with syrup and yogurt
Makes 24 pancakes
Update: For those of you who have been requesting a dairy-free alternative i’ve recently posted my dairy-free flapjack recipe. Enjoy!

Just found your site and love it already! Was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to make the pancakes dairy free. We have been gluten free for six months and are now eliminating dairy and soy. Still have a lot to learn, so any suggestion/help would be great! Keep the posts and great recipes rolling!

Did you ever put in a dairy free version of your pancakes? If yes can you send it? Thanks My daughter on a new diet would be thrilled.

I just wanted to thank you for this website. I just found it today. My sister and I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease as well as other intolerenes to Potatoes, rice and sugar (pre-diabetes and thyroid disease). To our disappointment most of the gluten-free products contain these ingredients. However, I’ve noticed that your recipes are mostly compatible with our new diet and I am excited to try them.
Thanks

I have made these pancakes every Sunday for 5 weeks now. They are wonderful. We were really missing pancakes and now we have them again.
I will tell you, I haven’t made any mods to it until last weekend. I was out of vanilla extract, so I subbed coconut extract instead. I was also out of cream, so I didn’t use any cream. They were really good.
In the future, I am going to try coconut milk instead of the cream. I will let you know how they turn out.
