Pancakes

  • 2 cups almond flour fine/blanched if possible
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup milk any kind — almond or oat work
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted; or use coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings

  • maple syrup
  • butter more, for topping
  • fresh fruit

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Notes

Baking powder note: Always make sure it’s labeled gluten-free. Some blends include starches that aren’t safe for celiac individuals. Make-Ahead Tip: These pancakes freeze well. Let them cool, stack with parchment, and store in a zip bag.
