🔄 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. This ensures everything is evenly distributed and prevents clumps in your batter.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then add almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking until well combined.

Step 3: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Keep mixing until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk (1 tbsp at a time) to reach the right consistency.

Step 4: Preheat and Grease the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about 2 tbsp of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles start forming on top. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until set.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with butter, sugar-free syrup, or extra chocolate chips. Enjoy them warm!

❓ Common FAQs

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not entirely! Coconut flour is highly absorbent. If you swap, use ¼ cup coconut flour instead of ½ cup almond flour and add an extra egg.

2. Can I make these without eggs?
Yes, but they won’t be as fluffy. Try replacing eggs with 2 tbsp chia or flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tbsp water.

3. What’s the best sugar-free syrup for topping?
Brands like Lakanto, ChocZero, or Walden Farms offer keto-friendly options.

4. Can I cook these in a waffle maker?
Absolutely! Just grease the waffle iron well and cook for about 3-4 minutes.

5. How do I reheat these pancakes?
Reheat them in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
