Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 4 oz softened full-fat cream cheese, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add 2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal), 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes so the almond flour absorbs the moisture.

  3. 3

    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small portion of 2 tbsp unsalted butter and swirl to coat.

  4. 4

    For each pancake, spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet and gently spread to a 3-inch round. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip carefully and cook on the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

  6. 6

    Serve warm with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Questions

Can I make Almond Flour Pancakes dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Almond Flour Pancakes keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Almond Flour Pancakes?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
