Vanilla Almond Paleo Protein Pancakes

There’s nothing like pancakes for breakfast. But the sugar crash afterward will slow you down all afternoon!

That's because the traditional version is full of gluten, dairy, and sugar that not only wreak havoc with your insulin levels, but can also cause widespread inflammation. No, thank you…

These yummy protein pancakes are light, fluffy, and delicious. And since they’re gluten-free and dairy-free, they’re also a healthy Paleo breakfast option!

Ingredients

1 cup blanched almond flour (superfine ground almonds)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp monk fruit extract

pinch sea salt

2 eggs (if not intolerant)

1/4 cup water

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp almond extract

coconut oil for pan

Directions

1-Whisk almond flour, baking soda, monk fruit extract, and the pinch of sea salt together in a medium mixing bowl until there's no lumps.

2-In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and vanilla and almond extracts.

3-Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until thoroughly mixed.

4-Preheat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

5-Drop batter by 2 tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pan, and cook until pancakes are golden brown and edges are dry, about 3-4 minutes.

6-Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

7-Serve your pancakes with full-fat nut milk yogurt, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of cacao nibs or sliced almonds.
