Description

Imagine starting your day with a stack of warm, chocolate-kissed pancakes that are both satisfying and surprisingly light. These pancakes achieve a delicate balance of textures – a tender crumb with a subtle moistness that makes each bite a pure delight. The gentle chocolate flavor weaves its way through the pancake, creating a symphony of taste that is comforting and irresistible.

Crafted with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour, these pancakes offer a unique structure that sets them apart. The almond flour lends a nutty richness, while the coconut flour provides a lightness that prevents them from becoming heavy or dense. This careful combination of ingredients ensures that each pancake is perfectly fluffy and golden brown.

These pancakes are incredibly easy to prepare, making them ideal for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches. Their versatility allows for endless customization. You can experiment with different extracts, spices, or even a handful of chocolate chips to create your signature flavor combination.

A dash of cinnamon or a hint of vanilla can transform these pancakes into something truly special. Perfect for sharing or savoring on your own, this recipe yields a generous stack of pancakes. Whether you're serving a small gathering or simply treating yourself, these pancakes are sure to impress.

For a delightful variation, consider topping them with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to create a personalized pancake experience that caters to your individual preferences. For those seeking a dairy-free option, simply substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative, such as coconut oil or avocado oil.

This simple swap maintains the pancakes' moistness and flavor while accommodating dietary restrictions. You can also add ground flaxseeds if you wish to add some extra nutrition and fiber into the recipe. Be sure to store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in a frying pan until warmed through, restoring their fluffy texture and irresistible flavor. Enjoy these pancakes as a comforting breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a delightful dessert – they're sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, Keto protein powder (optional), cacao powder, and sea salt. Whisk to loosely combine. In a separate heatproof bowl, melt the butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free) in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Ensure the butter is not sizzling to avoid curdling the eggs. Add the almond milk, whisk, then add the eggs and vanilla extract.
    2.
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk together until you get a smooth pancake batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
    3.
    Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Use a ladle to pour a small amount in the center of the pan, then use the base of the ladle to spread the batter to about 2-3 inches wide. Leave until bubbles start to form on the top, about a minute or two.
    4.
    Use a spatula to flip and cook the other side for another minute until crisp and browned. Repeat with the remaining batter, making about 6-8 pancakes. Stack them and serve with your favorite Keto-friendly syrup, cacao nibs, and a dusting of cacao powder!
