Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of almond flour

  • 1/2 cup of vanilla whey protein powder

  • 3 tsp of baking powder

  • 1 tsp of sweetener

  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

  • Assemble dry ingredients and sift into a bowl.
  • Melt butter
  • Whisk eggs
  • Add melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients and blend.
  • Add the almond milk in until a pancake consistency is achieved. Add the milk in slowly so you do not thin out too much. Certain almond flours will absorb more liquid than others and it also depends on the size of the eggs you are using.
  • Heat up a non-stick pan with a small amount of oil.
  • Once the pan is hot turn down the heat to medium.
  • Slowly add in the batter, approximately 1/4 of a cup.
  • Cook until bubbles start to form, and the pancake is easy to flip.
  • Cook for another minute on the other side until a light golden color.
  • Let cool on a rack and roll out the second one.
