Almond Pancakes
Ever since I was told that gluten was off limits, my sister has been sending me recipes to try. I usually get an email that’s like “You probably already know about this but look at this recipe!” She has sent me some really AWESOME stuff. A couple weeks ago a friend of hers made her these pancakes and she raved about them. I knew I had to try them. It looks like her friend combined these two recipes. I altered mine a bit too.
Here’s my adaptation.
Ingredients:
-1 cup almond meal (also called almond flour)
-2 eggs
-1 banana, smashed
-1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk substance)
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp vanilla
-Oil or non-stick substance of choice
Instructions:
-Preheat a pan on medium high heat.
-Combine all ingredients.
-Place oil in pan-I noticed that I had to use a little extra because these stuck to the pan at first.
-Cook about a minute and a half on each side (the bubble thing WILL happen).
-Enjoy!
-This made 18 VERY filling but small pancakes. I only needed 3 to feel full.
How did these rate? I give them a 4. Lucy gave them a 5-she ate 5 (!) pancakes (and 3 strawberries). Shaun did not rate them since he doesn’t like banana in ANYTHING. I’m going to make a banana free version next.
Thanks Liss!

OMG! Luke hates bananas too! I thought he was the only one. Plus, those pandies look awesome.
hmmm, a 4 out of 10 or a 4 out of 5? They look and sound awesome!!!
Ashley-Out of 5 🙂 My rating system is posted here: http://beingchelsea.com/2010/03/18/rating-system/ (linked above as well).
No baking powder needed? Also, how do I make the almond meal? just pulse almonds until they become really fine right? I want to make these for PB and I!
Thanks for the awesome recipe Chelsea!
Oh I’m silly…I’ve totally read about your rating system before 😉 oops!
I am SO trying those this coming weekend. I have been CRAVING pancakes 🙂
Have you tried the recipe from Elana’s Pantry? She has a couple on her site plus one in her cook (the gluten free almond flour cookbook).
I also think there is a difference between almond flour and almond meal. The meal is finely ground almonds and flour is blanched and skinless.
So nice of your sis to send you some winning recipes. I love almond milk! It’s only a dollar right now at WF! With a coupon 🙂 Have you tried the chocolate unsweetened almond milk?–so good in smoothies!
Sabrina-I found it at Whole Foods. I think any health food store carries it. I got Bob’s Redmill. I think the method you described would make almond butter.
Christie-NO I need to check it out. I’m such a NOOB when it comes to GF blogs! You’re right almond flour and meal ARE different but I think both would work well. My sister emailed me immediately to explain the difference 😉
Jill-I haven’t tried Chocolate yet-I need to pick some up!
nom nom nom – I made almond waffles the other day…delicious! Strawberries & almonds are always a safe combo.
