How to make almond butter pancakes?
👩🍳 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.
Step 7 - Cook almond butter pancakes over medium heat.

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.

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!
