Everyone likes pancakes. So I was quite happy when the Almond Board asked me to create a pancake recipe for them. I do have a couple of other gluten-free pancake recipes, though I think this pancake recipe is the best of the bunch!
Hope you enjoy these high protein, gluten-free and paleo Silver Dollar Pancakes made with almond flour as much as we have.

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

I’m getting ready to head out to Los Angeles for a book signing on Saturday, June 12th at Erewhon and some other fun little events that I’m doing for the Almond Board. Stay tuned for more information this coming Wednesday.

I made according to recipe except used monk fruit instead of agave and I used a different almond flour. The pancakes were a total fail. No way I could flip them, as they were way too cake like and they burned easily.
Before throwing out the batter, I decided to try it in the waffle iron. HUGE SUCCESS there! Wow! These were the best waffles I’ve ever eaten in my life! Delicious! No need for syrup either!❤️
Elana says
Thanks Liz, what type of monk fruit did you use –powder or liquid?
Karin A Kirk says
I absolutely LOVE these pancakes. So yummy with some berries and maple syrup on top. Important to make them small I think.
Elana says
Thanks Karin :-)
Holly says
Nice texture and appearance however my little pancakes came out very dry despite cooking on medium low. I’ll try it again and add more water.
Elana says
Thanks Holly, make sure you are using one of the recommended brands of almond flour here:

We love this recipe with a blueberry sauce. How can I adjust it for waffles? We have really enjoyed the recipes that you create and applaud you for taking control of your health. Thank you for what you do.
Elana says
Nona, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Al pat says
Can I refrigerate batter overnight? If wanting to prep in advance?
Elana says
Al, I haven’t tried that :-)

Hi Elana! Oh my family is beyond thankful for you pioneering the way in healthy eating! We are new to this journey and your books and website have been a life-saver.
Is there tweaks you can include to make any almond flour work? We are also extremely tight with our budget, and the recommended flours are pretty costly!
Any suggestions?
Elana says
Mrs. R., thanks for your comment. Yes, almond flour is so costly. What about checking out some of my nut-free recipes:
