How to Make My Light & Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes
Step 1: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add the wet ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl, including eggs, milk, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Blend with a whisk until the eggs are all incorporated.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the dry ingredients, including almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir with a whisk until blended
Step 3: Pour the Batter
Bring your fry pan to medium heat and spray with non-stick spray if your pan calls for it. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter and pour into a frypan for a 4-5″ pancake. As soon as tiny bubbles begin to form across the pancake, gently lift the side of the pancake to check for doneness. Flip the pancake over in the pan using a spatula when lightly browned.
How to Make and Cook Frozen Ice Cube Batter
Make the batter according to the recipe. Then pour the batter into your desired mold. Silicone molds work best because removing the frozen pancake batter is easy.
Allow the batter to freeze for at least 3-4 hours until solid. Then you can remove them from the mold and store in an airtight container in your freezer for several months.
Silicone Muffin Tray
Spray your fry pan with non-stick spray and turn to medium heat. Place your frozen puck of pancake batter in your pan. Place a lid on the pan to help speed up the defrosting of the frozen batter.
Gently press down on the batter to help spread the defrosted batter.
As tiny bubbles begin forming on the sides of the pancake, flip the pancake over in the pan using a spatula. You may need to flip the pancake several times as it slowly thaws and cooks.

Could you add protein powder to the recipe to higher the protein level in each pancake?
Hi Tina, I’m so glad you like this recipe! I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure you could add protein powder. That’s a great idea! If it thickens the batter, you could add a little more milk to thin it to your desired consistency 🙂
