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.
54 grams carbohydrates
Where did you come up with 54 grams of carbs? Since the only thing in this recipe that has carbs is the almond flour. Are you stating net carbs?
I think she means 18.7 grams from sugar, plus the 36 grams from almond meal, = 54 grams of carb. But 1/5th of the recipe is only about 11 grams. I will try making 10 smaller pancakes, and see if they are lighter and fluffier than
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.
I have almond meal also……I run it through my ninja blender (for large amounts. small amounts in my coffee grinder that is for spices)…instant almond flour! If make almond milk……dry your pulp on a cookie sheet in the oven. cool. then run through the blender. You have almond flour for a fraction of the cost!
I’ve never heard this before, great tip!
Made these this morning, very easy. Put shagbark hickory syrup on them and yum! Thanks for the great recipes!
I just made these and they were fantastic..I did make a few changes. Instead of all almond flour, I put 1/2 cup oatmeal in blender till fine and added that plus 1 cup almond meal since I didnt have enough of the meal. I also added 1/4 cup applesause to batter. yum!
Loved it! I’ve been craving pancakes, thanks for the recipe!
I’m new to gluten free cooking and all I have right now (I’m on a very limited budget since I’m disabled) is homemade coconut flour would that work, or I have rolled oats and just got some steel cut could I make either of those into a flour also, and use them or a combo of the 2, or maybe 3 as I have some almonds and could make that into flour I’m sure I might have to dry it some, any suggestions, I’d love them as I’m also caring for 3 grandkids who love pancakes. I really do welcome any ideas or suggestions for gluten cooking on a frugal budget, I guess is a way to say it, I already make my own coconut milk, butter and, flour, and am slowly adding items when I can, so any ideas on inexpensive maybe like priority items you can suggest are welcome. You can also e-mail me directly at crazygrammy37@gmail.com if you’d like.
Im think the almond pancakes will be delish..I use a lot of rice and corn as substitue for wheat…this will be a refreshing change!
where do you buy almond meal in the UK???
Is there any substitute for the eggs?
Just made them, they’re so delicious. Especially with maple syrup to bring out that nutty flavor. The texture was a bit off for me though, next time I’ll mix in a little whole wheat flour to see if I can get a less crumbly texture with that lovely flavor.
We made these for the second time today, as pikelets for school lunches. I had to do a double batch as the kids gobbled them up!
I just threw everything in the Tmx and mixed. So easy to do! Thank you for a great tasting dairy and wheat free recipe. These will definitely become a staple in our house.
I used milk instead of water, made them small for use of flipping, topped with dollop of Greek yogurt. Yum!!
