Why Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes?

This recipe is so easy and simple to make, it takes about 15 min for everything to come together. One of the key benefits of almond flour pancakes for babies and toddlers is their high nutrient content. Almond flour is made from finely ground almonds, which contain healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, and a range of vitamins and minerals. It’s rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports immune health, as well as magnesium and calcium, both important for bone development. The protein and fat in almond flour also help keep little ones fuller for longer, providing sustained energy throughout the morning. This is particularly helpful for toddlers who are constantly on the go and need steady fuel to keep up with their active lifestyles. Additionally, almond flour is low in carbohydrates compared to traditional wheat flour, making it a great option for balancing blood sugar levels in young children.

Almond flour pancakes are also versatile when it comes to toppings and mix-ins. For a boost of flavor and nutrition, try adding a few blueberries, thin apple slices, or whatever you prefer. For babies & toddlers you can drizzle a little bit of yogurt on top, add fresh fruit, or for older kids add some chocolate chips or maple syrup with berries on the side, YUM!

Substitutions:

Bananas- You can replace with another sweet fruit, like apple or pear puree

Eggs- Can be replaced with a plant-based egg alternative

Almond Flour- This is the star of the show, I don’t recommend replacing it with another flour

Coconut Oil- Can be replaced with another cooking oil or butter

What you need:

A non-stick pan, I recommend the non-toxic, made with no PFAS Our Place Pan. The pancakes come out amazing every time.
