Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. In a separate bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until combined; batter will be thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until edges look set and bubbles form on top. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
  4. Step 4: For the blueberry compote, combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until berries soften and sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Serve pancakes warm topped with blueberry compote and additional maple syrup if desired.
