Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 tbsp erythritol. Whisk together to blend dry ingredients evenly.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 3 whole large eggs with 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, forming a thick batter.
4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
5. Step 5: While pancakes cook, warm 1/4 cup almond butter with 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable.
6. Step 6: Serve pancakes stacked and drizzled generously with the warm almond butter sauce.
