Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown or white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 large egg
½ cup almond butter or use peanut butter
1 ½ cups milk
chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, almond butter, and about ¼ cup of the milk. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth. Then, gradually add the remaining milk, whisking until fully combined.
👉 Adding a small amount of milk first helps incorporate the thick almond butter more easily—if you add all the milk at once, it can be very difficult to mix evenly.
Finish batter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (Mix in the chocolate chips at this stage)
👉 The batter should be thick yet pourable. If it feels too dense, simply whisk in a small splash of milk until it reaches the right consistency.
Cook. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little coconut oil or butter. Once the pan is hot, pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until fully cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve the pancakes hot, topped with maple syrup.

Notes

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.
