Ingredients:

For the pancakes

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Berry Sauce

  • 3 cups berries (You can use any combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries. Use fresh or frozen and thawed berries.)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 packet stevia

Directions

  1. Whisk together dry ingredients. Set aside.
  2. Beat eggs, butter or oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  3. Pouring wet into dry, combine ingredients and mix until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  4. Allow batter to rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat your electric griddle to 325 degrees Fahrenheit or put a large non-stick skillet over medium low heat.
  5. While batter rests, add berry topping ingredients to a small saucepan and heat on medium high. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and crush berries with a potato masher. Return to heat and boil for 2 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
  6. Spray your skillet or griddle with cooking spray and add about ¼ cup of batter, allowing a few inches of space between each pancake.
  7. Cook pancakes for 1-2 minutes per side. Do not flip until you see small bubbles form and burst on the surface of the batter. These pancakes may take slightly longer to cook through than pancakes made with just all-purpose flour.
  8. Hold pancakes in a low temperature oven until serving. Drizzle berry topping and serve. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
