*Expert Tip: Using “Super Fine” blanched flour ensures a traditional pancake texture without the grittiness of almond meal.
Preparation Instructions
- Emulsify the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, eggs, mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously or use a hand mixer until the batter is smooth and aerated.
- Rest Phase: Allow the batter to sit for 3 minutes.
- Heat the Griddle: Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with avocado oil or coconut oil spray over medium-low heat.
- Precision Pouring: Use a 1/4 cup measure to ladle the batter onto the skillet. Immediately sprinkle a handful of blueberries onto the surface of each pancake.
- The Flip: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Service: Serve immediately while warm. Garnish with additional fresh fruit or a light drizzle of pure maple syrup.

*Editor’s Note: Incorporating air into the almond flour batter with a mixer is the secret to achieving height in grain-free baking.
Professional Notes & Storage
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To maintain texture, place a piece of unbleached paper towel between each pancake to absorb excess moisture.
These pancakes are highly freezer-stable. Flash-freeze in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray for one hour before transferring to a freezer-safe silicone bag. They will maintain peak quality for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
