This recipe is all over the internet, but I reproduce it here for my own convenience, and because some people with histamine intolerance tolerate almond flour.
1⅓ cup blanched almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ cup milk of any type (+ 1-2 Tbs depending on batter pour and pan spread)
2 large eggs
1 tbsp pure maple syrup, more for serving
1 tsp vanilla
Dash almond extract if desired.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the pan with a little olive oil and use a ¼-cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan. Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook without burning the outsides.
- Serve with maple syrup and top with blueberries.
