I’m kind of almond flour obsessed right now…and you already know that I’m a die-hard pancake lover. So, these just marry my two of my favorites!
They were incredibly delicate and had a wonderful nutty flavor. Plus, they got rave reviews from Logan (husband who has to put up with my pancake-obsession and who you heard from yesterday: here).
And if you don’t believe me about my pancake obsession, see here, this one, ooo this one, yup, here, oh yeah, this, and here.

I’m loving your pancake obsession, just need you to come make breakfast for me:-)
Love how healthy these are with flaxseeds!
Yums McGee! These looks delish, friend!
yum! I can’t wait to try these! Featuring this on my facebook fan page today!
Perfect pancakes! I’m putting these on the list for this weekend! The photo is gorgeous too.
Wow, these look awesome! I love pancakes!
these look awesome + as i have quite a few gluten-free friends, i’m always looking for g.f. recipes to pass on to them. thanks!
Oh, what delicious looking gluten-free pancakes! If you are a pancake lover, I have a delicious gluten-free version with coconut flour on my blog-they are my daughter’s absolute favorite. I’m sure she’s going to love your almond flax pancakes too!
I’m starting to make lots of gluten free recipes because they are popping up everywhere! I love incorporating almond flour into different recipes, but haven’t tried it in pancakes yet! Looks delicious!
You just made my day, I’ve been trying to figure out what to make with my almond flour and was so uninspired until I saw these. I’ve got all the ingredients already!
Pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts. These look amazing!
Yum! Those look fantastic!
I found that I needed to add about 1/2 cup more of milk. Did I do something wrong? However, they were delicious.
Nope, you didn’t do anything wrong at all!
I bet your almond and flax meals were just more absorbent than mine, requiring more liquid. I’m glad they tasted good! 
These pancakes look awesome! I am always on the look-out for gluten-free low carb recipes since the celiac diet has ballooned my weight over the last 7+ years. I am dairy free so will be trying to sub coconut milk and coconut milk yogurt. I know the texture will change some, but am hoping for the best.

love these!!!
Made these tonight! I think they were the best pancakes I ever had. Seriously! I used my almond flour that I had dehydrated after making almond milk one day. Topped them with strawberries. My husband who doesn’t usually go for pancakes had a second helping! (Couldn’t get my eggwhites to stiffen…not sure why but didn’t seem to matter). The ONLY thing that was kinda weird was the browned..almost too much before I could turn them over safely. Thanks for the great recipe!!
i just made these for breakfast, and they turned out nicely.
i halved the recipe, but used 2 eggs, and i subbed agave nectar for the honey and it seemed to work just fine. they are super fragile when cooking and i think i finally got it right with the last batch. i made them pretty small and they kept their shape. we ate them with strawberries, bananas and justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter spread… YUM!
They sound delicious!!!
