Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
1 cup almond flour
2 tbsp pea protein powder (or hemp protein for extra nutrients)
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds (for binding)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
1 tbsp MCT oil (or melted coconut oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A few drops of liquid stevia or 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, pea protein, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix almond milk, MCT oil, vanilla extract, and sweetener.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
3. Serve & Enjoy!
Top your pancakes with:
✔ Almond butter or coconut cream for extra healthy fats
✔ Hemp seeds for a protein boost
✔ Fresh berries (like raspberries or blackberries for low-carb sweetness)
Why MCT Oil?
MCT oil is a quick energy source that supports ketosis and helps keep you full longer. Adding it to your pancakes gives you an extra fat-burning boost!
