Print Recipe

Fluffy almond flour pancakes paired with a lightly sweetened berry compote, designed to support blood sugar control with a low-carb, high-fiber, and protein-rich breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or a sprinkle of stevia)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly combined (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy (1-2 minutes).
  3. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay. Batter should be thick but pourable. Add almond milk by teaspoon if too thick (about 3 minutes).
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil and swirl to coat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed. Makes about 6 pancakes.
  6. While pancakes cook, combine mixed berries, lemon juice, water, and sweetener in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and sauce thickens slightly. Stir in chia seeds if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Stack warm pancakes, spoon berry compote generously over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh almond flour for best results. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Maintain medium heat to avoid burning. The berry compote can be made ahead and reheated gently. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
