    👩‍🍳 Batter consistency - To achieve thick, yet fluffy pancakes with almond butter, aim for a batter that's slightly thick but still pourable. The key is to avoid making it too runny, as this will result in thin pancakes. The batter should fall from the spoon in thick ribbons, spreading gently on the griddle. It should hold its shape slightly when dropped, but not be so thick that it’s difficult to pour.

    Type of almond butter to use

    I used Barney's smooth almond butter, which is thick, creamy, and delicious. If you're using a different brand, be sure to give it a good stir to redistribute the oils that tend to separate. Also, if your almond butter is thinner, reduce the amount of milk slightly.

    Recipe tips

    • Almond butter - I prefer using Barney's almond butter. It's thick, creamy, and doesn’t require any stirring.
    • Stir before using - If you're using a different brand of almond butter, be sure to give it a good stir to redistribute the oils that tend to separate and settle on top.
    • Use other nut butter - Use creamy peanut butter instead of almond butter.
    • Make it dairy free - For a dairy-free option, substitute regular milk with almond milk or oat milk.

      5 stars
      This recipe worked really well! I had to increase the liquid amount since I use gluten free flour, but the substitution turned out just fine. I'm allergic to coconut which makes dairy free recipes hard to adapt, so I was very excited to try this out!
