Servings: 2–4 servings (1 serving = four 3-inch pancakes).

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup blanched almond flour (finely ground works best)
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 2–3 tbsp. Swerve (or another natural sweetener)
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 5 large eggs
• ⅓ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
• ¼ cup avocado oil
• 1½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp. pink Himalayan salt

For the Berry Syrup (Optional):

• 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
• 1 tbsp. water
• Stevia or natural sweetener, to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together all pancake ingredients until smooth. The batter should be similar in consistency to traditional pancake batter. If too thick, add almond or coconut milk gradually until pourable but not watery.

2. Preheat the Pan
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of avocado oil to lightly grease the surface.

3. Cook the Pancakes
Pour 3-inch circles of batter onto the hot skillet. Cover the pan and cook for 1.5–2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook an additional 1.5–2 minutes until golden brown. Adjust heat if they start browning too quickly.

4. Make the Berry Syrup (Optional)
In a small saucepan, combine berries and water. Simmer gently, mashing the berries with a fork to release natural juices. Continue cooking until the syrup reaches your desired consistency. Sweeten lightly with stevia if needed.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Stack pancakes on a plate, add a pat of butter or a drizzle of berry syrup, and enjoy a healthy, nutrient-rich breakfast.
