FAQs
1. Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?
For the fluffiest pancakes, use almond flour, not almond meal. Almond flour is finely ground, while almond meal is coarser.
2. Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can make a batch and store them in the fridge or freezer for later.
3. Can I add protein powder?
Yes, you can add your favorite protein powder to the batter for an extra boost.
4. Why did my pancakes fall apart?
If using flax eggs or chia eggs, ensure the consistency is right, as almond flour pancakes need the proper binding ingredients to stay together.
5. Can I use a different milk?
Yes, any milk will work, including oat milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk.
