This is a recipe I developed for Paleo diet friendly pancakes. It's primary ingredients are coconut milk and almond meal. I have not tried this with any other nut flour but I suppose it would be just as good.
For this recipe you need:
1 can coconut milk (about 13 fl. oz.)
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp. baking powder
3 cups almond meal.
2 cups fresh berries or chopped fruit (optional)
These ingredients may seem odd when compared to a traditional recipe, but that is because you are using almond meal. When combined with liquid, almond meal tends not to bond well and can make very thin pancakes. Because of this you need lots of extra baking powder, and plenty of meal. This will help stop the pancakes from spreading out all over your pan. The amount of ingredients is based on the can of coconut milk because thats how you get it from the store.
Combine these ingredients one at a time in a large mixing bowl in the order listed above. Mix with a whisk until throughly combined. This will create a very thick mixture. Again, it needs to be very thick to stand up in the pan.
At this point you can add the berries or fruit. This step is completely optional, because the pancakes are quite tasty without the fruit. If you do, I recommend you use fresh berries or fruit. Make sure they are chopped up quite small, but not into a mush (the size of blueberries are fine). If you cannot use fresh, and need to use frozen that is ok, but make sure to defrost them the day before.
Now pour the mixture onto a hot non-stick griddle or pan. Make sure you pour small pancakes. (3-4 inches) No need to oil the pan unless you don't have a non-stick surface. Let these cook on the first side for awhile until the edges start to firm up around the sides. (about 1/4 of the way in) Flipping these pancakes is kind of tricky because they don't want to stay together. You have to move your spatula quickly under the entire pancake before you flip them or it will separate. You will end up breaking a few pancakes until you get the knack of it, so dont feel bad if you end up with a bunch of 1/2 pancakes. Cook them on the other side until they are golden brown and delicious.
Top them with some warm honey, coconut nectar or real maple syrup. This will make about 12-16 four-inch pancakes.
