Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Almond flour, egg, almond milk, and baking powder form the batter for these blueberry pancakes. A sugar substitute provides sweetness, oil enriches the mixture, and the blueberries are folded in last to help them remain whole.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

Cook the Pancakes

  1. Add the almond flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, egg, almond milk, and oil to a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir until the ingredients are combined and no obvious pockets of dry flour remain.
  3. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  4. Heat a skillet. Pour portions of batter onto the hot surface, leaving room to turn each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the pancakes are cooked through.

Timing and Yield

Plan on 5 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking. The recipe makes 6 pancakes. Keep the portions similar in size so the cooking method works consistently from one pancake to the next.

Working with Almond Flour Batter

Almond-flour pancakes can be more delicate than wheat-flour pancakes. Wait until the first side has enough structure to lift, then use a thin spatula for the turn. Fold the berries in rather than stirring vigorously so they do not streak the batter.

If a blueberry sits directly against the skillet, move the spatula carefully around it when turning. Serve the pancakes warm, when the centers are tender and the berries are soft.
