Ingredients

1 cup (100g) almond flour
-
2 tablespoons coconut flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
3 large eggs
-
¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1–2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sweetener.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
2. Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
3. Cook the Pancakes
Spoon about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to set.
Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Serve
Stack pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite low-carb toppings such as berries, sugar-free syrup, or whipped cream.
