Gluten free pancakes made with almond flour are a delicious way to pack a healthy punch at breakfast – or dinner! Made in the blender with almond flours these gluten free pancakes are ready in a hurry, too.

When my family  went gluten free earlier this year, I checked out many different sources to find gluten free recipes.  I’m not a big fan of gluten free flour mixes, so I stick mainly with almond flour and coconut flour.  I purchased The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam to help me learn how to cook with almond flour.  I haven’t yet gotten past the pancake recipe!

My family loves pancakes and waffles.  I found a great gluten free waffle recipe, but wanted an option with less eggs for pancakes.   I really like this pancake recipe, but it was way too sweet and I kept burning the pancakes.  So I gradually cut back on the agave nectar and found that about 1 Tablespoon helps to make the pancakes less sweet and not burn quite so easily.  You still have to cook them on a pretty low heat setting and watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn.

I also added oil in to the recipe. I’ve never made pancakes without some sort of fat and the one time I didn’t put the oil in the pancakes, they were a disaster. Choose whatever oil your family likes best. I often use grapeseed or avocado oil because they don’t have any flavor.
