We really enjoy pancakes, but even when I serve them with a protein such as sausage, we can end up feeling like we had too many carbohydrates. That’s why recently I decided to try making almond meal/flour pancakes.
This recipes only makes five pretty large pancakes, but that was enough for us. As you can see, the pancakes were pretty thick, and we found out they are also very filling. Next time I will make them smaller.
The picture doesn’t show it, but we did put syrup on them. They were good pancakes, and the kids liked them. They just found them to be very filling, which is not a bad thing when it comes to feeding boys. I’ll definitely be making them again.
If you mix this together in a four cup glass measuring cup, you can then easily pour the batter onto the skillet.

We feel the same way about pancakes here! The family loves them, but I want more protein, less carbs. Thanks for this recipe! It looks great, and I can’t wait to try it.
I made these pancakes this morning. My family LOVED them! We had sliced bananas and fresh raspberries on top. YUM! Thanks for this fantastic recipe. We will make them often!
Thanks for letting me know. I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
do you happen to know how many carbs are in the whole recipe?
Sorry, I don’t know that.
ok, thanks, i may make them for dinner tonight. my girls will be really excited! who doesn’t love pancakes for dinner?!?
thanks again for such great recipes. oh & i ‘pinned’ you on my pinterest board.
I’ve made several variations of these for the exact same reason as you. Too many carbs at breakfast usually means everyone wants to lay around after eating instead of doing their chores lol Excited to try your version over the weekend
I love these pancakes!!! Thanks
I noticed you used a whole teaspoon of baking soda (not powder) but nothing acidic to activate it. They didn’t have a soapy or bitter taste to them? I normally use honey, molasses, maple syrup, and/or almond or coconut milk with cider vinegar (non-dairy “buttermilk”) when I use baking soda and only 1/4 tsp per cup of dry ingredients for pancakes. Just wondering…
Just made these and they were great! I added a pinch of nutmeg and a splash of white vinegar to activate the baking soda. Ate with strawberries and maple syrup. Thanks! I’m stuffed.
I’m glad you enjoyed them, Melanie. They are filling.
Seems to me that almond meal is coarser than almond flour, which I have and love. Suppliers?
I usually use Bob’s Red Mill which says almond meal/flour.
