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.
Silver Dollar Pancakes

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
- 1½ cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- grapeseed oil or coconut oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl Whisk together eggs, water, vanilla and agave
- Add almond flour, salt and baking soda and mix until thoroughly combined
- Heat grapeseed oil on a skillet over medium low to medium heat
- Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of batter at a time onto the skillet
- Pancakes will form little bubbles, when bubbles open, flip pancakes over and cook other side
- Remove from heat to a plate
- Repeat process with remaining batter, add more oil to skillet as needed
Equipment
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.

Just curious… will it make a difference if I use regular salt? I’m attempting to change to a more paleo friendly diet… but because it can get pretty expensive I’m trying to buy things slowly. Could Iget away with using up the regular salt I have in cabinet? Thanks in advance! ?

Elana,
I have loved this recipe for some time now…all of your recipes, actually. :)
Today I made this one using molasses instead of honey, as my son seems to have issues with honey.
Just wanted to let you and your readers know that they were AMAZING with molasses!
Thanks for all you do for us. :)
Blessings,
Jes

Hi :)
First of all, thank you so much for all those wonderful recipes.
I’m allergic to nuts but want to start a paleo diet.
What would you recommend to use instead of almond flour or coconut flour?

Hi: Do you know if this batter can be used in a waffle maker to make waffles?
