My Approach
A quick note about my approach to this recipe:
I am always mindful of what I make for my family, especially at breakfast. I like to start our mornings with nourishing, protein-rich recipes that help keep everyone satisfied and energized throughout the day. One simple way I boost the protein content of our favorite pancakes is by adding almond flour. It adds a subtle nutty flavor while making the pancakes more filling and nutritious.
These high-protein almond flour pancakes are delicious served fresh off the griddle, but they also freeze beautifully for busy mornings. I often make a double batch and store extras in the freezer for a quick breakfast option. Pair them with eggs for an even more balanced meal, and you have a simple, wholesome breakfast that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. -
Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix. A few small lumps are perfectly fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb some of the liquid. -
Preheat the Skillet
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. -
Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. -
Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or your favorite toppings.
Note
Freezing Instructions: These pancakes freeze exceptionally well, making them perfect for meal prep. Allow the pancakes to cool completely, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer the frozen pancakes to a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper if needed. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster, oven, air fryer, or microwave until warmed through.
Serving Suggestion: For an even more protein-packed breakfast, serve these pancakes with eggs, Greek yogurt, or a side of fresh fruit.
