Instructions

  1. Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Stir in the almond milk, almond butter, and vanilla extract to form a thick batter.
  3. Heat a skillet with coconut oil on medium-high heat until the coconut oil is melted and the skillet is hot.
  4. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet per pancake, using a spatula to smooth the batter into a pancake about 3" (7 cm) in diameter.
  5. Let cook on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until the edges begin to firm up. When the edges are firm, flip the pancake to the other side and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

Tip

Keeping the pancakes small helps to make them easier to flip.

    These are tasty and have this nice chewy texture which makes them very filling and satisfying. I actually made them too thick by adding extra psyllium, but this was absolutely not necessary.

    I found these very savoury, and not at all pancake-like. They took much longer to cook than indicated in the recipe, although I followed it to the letter. Not sure I would make these again.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback! With no sweetener include, the pancakes will be a bit more savory and rely on your topping of choice for sweetness.

    I really love the flavor and texture of these pancakes, I wanted more almond butter flavor so I ate half the serving and spread some additional almond butter on top. Delicious!

    Do you crush the chia seeds or do you blend them and add to mixture?

    Yes, they should be crushed.
