Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix.

Prepare Flax Egg
In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine almond milk, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract. Add the flax egg to this mixture and stir well.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.

Cook Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and brush with a little coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Almond flour is central to this recipe, especially for its low-carb and diabetic-friendly properties. Substituting it with another flour may alter the nutritional content and texture. If you need an alternative, coconut flour could be used, but it will change the flavor and consistency, and you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly.
Yes, this recipe is designed to be diabetic-friendly. It is low in carbohydrates and sugars, which are key considerations for diabetic diets. However, individual dietary needs can vary, so it's always a good idea for those with diabetes to consult with a healthcare provider or dietitian.
To make the pancakes fluffier, ensure your baking powder is fresh, as it's a key ingredient for rising. Additionally, you could try beating the wet ingredients separately until they're frothy before combining them with the dry ingredients, which can incorporate more air into the batter.
While you can mix the dry ingredients ahead of time, it's best to prepare the wet mixture and combine them just before cooking. Almond flour batters can thicken if left to sit for too long, affecting the texture of the pancakes.
For a diabetic-friendly topping, consider fresh berries, such as strawberries or blueberries, sugar-free syrups, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of unsweetened almond butter. Avoid high-sugar toppings like regular maple syrup or honey to keep the recipe diabetic-friendly.
