Almond Flour Pancakes (Paleo)


Organic Almonds (Pre-blanched)

It is best to blanch your almonds prior to flouring them. This allows your body to fully absorb the nutrients from the almonds. Nuts contain phytic acid, a compound that can hinder mineral absorption like iron and zinc. Thus, we blanch!

How to Blanch 
Place almonds in a bowl.
Pour boiling water to barely cover almonds.
Let the almonds sit for 1 minute and no longer.
Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
Pat dry and slip the skins off.
It is super easy !! 

Ingredients for Pancakes: 
3 large eggs
1/4 cup almond milk 
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw honey 
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
a few tablespoons of coconut oil or grass-fed cows butter (for the skillet)

How: 
Whisk together all the wet ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend well.
Heat a skillet on a low to medium heat with about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 
Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake on the heated skillet.
When you can slide a spatula under the pancake easily, flip the pancake and cook on the other side.


Cook for a few more minutes and place the cooked pancakes on a warm plate and cover. 
Repeat for the remaining batter.


We leave them a little longer to crisp the edges!! Mmmmmm Whatever your preference is!

Enjoy with honey!
Buen Provecho
