Fluffy almond flour pancakes with only 5 ingredients: almond flour, baking soda, coconut milk, eggs and vanilla extract. A great keto and low carb pancake recipe. Options to add blueberries or chocolate chips!
I’m just getting back home to Chicago from a back to back trip from coast to coast. Last week I was in New York shooting videos with My Fitness Pal, then I flew on a red eye to LA to relax, get a little sunshine in before summer dwindles and hang with Callie, one of my best friends.
What I love being in LA isn’t just the weather and friendship, it’s also the incredible healthy, creative food options! Turmeric juices, collard wraps, vegan mexican restaurants… it’s a healthy food bloggers dream and definitely inspires me when it comes to recipe creation for the blog.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
Of course, if you haven’t checked out my healthy guide to LA yet, it’s an absolute must! I’ll be adding to it overtime I visit, so be sure to keep it bookmarked for your next trip.
These almond flour pancakes remind me of something I’d order to eat for brunch in LA. They’re simple because they only require 5 ingredients, yet still so damn good. Fluffy, packed with protein and fiber and can be made in 1 bowl.
Another great perk about these pancakes? They’re versatile! Feel free to add fresh or frozen blueberries, chocolate chips, a handful of pecans, a dash or two of cinnamon or perhaps a mashed banana. I’m pretty confident that they’ll work with a variety of add-ins so let me know what you try!
My favorite way to make them? With blueberries. Then drizzled with a big old spoonful of peanut butter and a little pure maple syrup. YUM.
I hope you get a chance to try out these beautiful and easy to make almond flour pancakes. If you do make them, be sure to leave a comment and rate the recipe below.
As always, I’d love to see a photo of your creation. Simply upload them to Instagram and use the hashtag #ambitiouskitchen or share them in the AK Facebook group. I can’t wait to see! xo.

- Protein: 14.4g
- Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup light coconut milk (from the can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup fine almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Butter, olive oil or coconut oil, for greasing the pan
- Optional add-ins:
- ¾ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup mini dairy free chocolate chips
- In large bowl, mix together the eggs, light coconut milk, and vanilla together until smooth and well combined. Add in almond flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt; stir with spoon until well combined.
- Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with butter, olive oil or coconut oil and place over medium low heat. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. It's important to cook until bubbles appear on top and the edges are well cooked. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes. If you find that the pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower your skillet heat a bit. I normally start on medium low, then decrease to low later so that my pancakes don't burn. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more butter/oil and remaining batter. Makes 3 servings, 2 pancakes each (6 pancakes total).

These look soooooo delicious and blueberry packed! You’ve inspired me to make blueberry pancakes this weekend…thank you 🙂
All the blueberries in here! Perfect for weekend brunch 🙂
Glad you found time to post this beauty ! 🙂 Thank you !
You bet! Hope you love them.
Can we add a low carb sweetener to the batter? Maybe erythritol or stevia?
What’s stopping you? You can add whatever you want and you don’t need permission. Monk fruit sugar is my sweeter of choice.
Sure!
Oh man, I guess I’ll have pancakes for breakfast tomorrow now! Ha! These look so good!
Yes! So delicious. Enjoy 🙂
Yum, love how fluffy these look! 🙂
So fluffy! Best breakfast.
Hey Monique. I love your recips. These pancakes are very delicious,but I have question about the cup. What kind is your cup,because I have so many cups and I don’t know which one is the better.
Hey Ivy! Do you mean measuring cup? Each measuring cup you get should have the amount on it (1/4 cup, 1/3, 1/2, etc.)

Almond flour used to be one of my favorite baking flours, especially with pancakes and banana bread! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve last baked with it, so I have to find a great way to use it in pancakes! This stack looks fantastic. Topping it with blueberries and maple syrup is the best!
It’s so great for baking! 100% recommend these cakes with blueberries + maple syrup.
I’m a sucker for some good pancakes. I’m not a big fan of eating breakfast but I’ll definitely try this out for some brunch!
Perfect for brunch (or breakfast-for-dinner!) Enjoy 🙂
I love this pancake
I will do them on weekend
Perfect weekend brunch!
Yay!
I’m having this pancakes for breakfast today!!
Amazing! Hope you loved them 🙂
Can I use yogurt in place of the coconut milk?
I haven’t tried it, yogurt is thick, so you may need to use half yogurt half milk of choice. the pancakes will most likely have a different consistency.
Looks Perfect love your pictures & colors keep sharing more recipes & looks like such a fresh and protein lunch thanks
This morning, I used unsweetened soy milk and the oil, as you suggest; no other changes. The result was six great-tasting pancakes that looked like the ones in your photos. They do take longer to cook than conventional wheat flour pancakes, but all good things are worth waiting for. Being gluten- and dairy-intolerant for most of my life, I’ve baked my own almond flour bread and chocolate chip cookies for more than a decade. I’m pleased to add this simple, grainless (and starch-less!) pancake recipe to my collection. Do you have other grainless recipes? Thank you!
Perfect! So glad you loved these ones – perfect for breakfast. Be sure to check out my other grain-free recipes here 🙂
Can coconut flour be used in place of almond flour?
Try these pancakes instead!
These are so good! I made them with almond flour and a little less salt and cooked them in coconut oil because that is what I usually use. Perfect! I’ll have to experiment with ricotta cheese, that sounds good. Oh, and the best thing about these is they didn’t suck up the coconut oil, I didn’t have to re grease the pan after each pancake.
Perfect! Glad you loved these 🙂
The look delicious! I was wondering is it 334 cals per 2 pancakes or for the entire batch?
It’s for 2 pancakes 🙂
These were way better than I thought they were gonna be. Didn’t have coconut milk so used 1/2&1/2. Will definitely make again!
Great! Perfect breakfast.
I made these today with a few modifications – I used unsweetened almond milk + 3/4 tbsp of avocado oil instead of the coconut milk because I didn’t have any, and I substituted 1/2 cup of vanilla whey isolate protein powder for 1/2 cup of the almond flour. I also added a cup of raspberries because I needed to use them up before they went bad. They turned out really tasty! Nice texture too for flourless pancakes, best I’ve had so far! Thanks!
Glad those swaps worked out for you! Love these easy pancakes.
Made these this morning to rave reviews from the family. They turned out so much better than pancakes made with whole wheat flour. Thanks for the recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that.
I missed the part where the instructions call for mixing with a spoon (non-cook here) so naturally I used a blender to blend everything. The texture was different…it was grainy. So I’m wondering does using a hand mixer change the consistency of the batter and is it best to mix my spoon.
Have you used flax eggs in these with success? Thanks!
