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.

These are to die for! My fiancé & I went on a 3 weeks holiday and we had these every day for breakfast as we couldn’t get enough. We added blueberries and sometimes strawberries to the batter, rest as per recipe, and everyday they turned out soo lovely. We always had a beautiful start of the day this way! Highly recommended :-)

Great recipe!! I wasnt sure what to expect but they were awsome! Will be making these again and again! I wonder if they would do good for waffles. hmmm

Have you made a pancake syrup using agave? I would like to do so but I’m not sure where to start.

Elana, amazing! Thank you! These pancakes are divine! My husband (who loves all things gluten) said they were too dense…not fluffy enough. So I added about a 1/4 tsp (maybe a little more) of baking powder. That did the trick!!! Much more fluffy!! My girls no longer ask for Daddy’s bisquick pancakes, but now it’s, ” I want Mama’s pancakes!” I love it!!!

These look good, but why so much agave nectar?

Beautiful photography……makes the food look even more delicious!

I look forward to trying these, they look delicious, but Agave Syrup, is not the health food it is being marketed as, check out this link to learn a little bit about it.
With best wishes, and I can’t wait to make these, but thought you should know the back story of Agave syrup.

What do you do if your allergic to eggs but you love pancakes? I can’t seem to find a recipe for pancakes that is GF / Paleo and doesn’t have eggs. HELP!
rebecca says
have you tried using 1 Tbs of ground flax with 2-3 Tbs water per one egg?
rebecca says
not per one egg… but in place of :)
Tracey says
Can this recipe be used for waffles as well?
Jessica says
Oooh! That sounds like a great idea… I wonder if anyone over at the forums has any suggestions?
