SUGAR FREE Almond flour pancakes

This recipe is different from the regular gluten free pancakes that I posted earlier.  These pancakes are made using honey and almond flour in place of the sugar and other gluten-free flours.   We started playing with almond flour after going on the GAPS (Gut And Psychology Syndrome) diet to heal our intestinal systems (here is a link:  http://www.gutandpsychologysyndrome.com/gaps-diet/ -  it really helped my husband who has more insensitivities than just gluten.)  It is basically a no carb, no sugar, no starch diet, but almonds and almond byproducts are allowed.
My cousin who hates all pancakes including my own gluten-free ones, loves these pancakes.  She ate a serving here at my house and took some more on her way out of the door!  They are stickier than my regular gluten-free pancakes and  have a nice sweet flavor with a small hint of nuttiness.  They are sugar free, but still sweet as the applesauce is sugar free and the recipe calls for honey and vanilla.  These are the only pancakes my husband will eat without syrup. 


Almond Pancakes


1 individual applesauce

1/2 cup honey
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup water

1 1/2 cups almond flour 

1/2  teaspoon finely ground sea salt

1/2  teaspoon baking soda

Mix all together in a bullet mixer for 5 minutes or until smooth



250 on griddle for 15-20 mins  (depends on the griddle). Make sure you oil griddle first as they WILL stick.


This is how smooth it should look.

It is time to flip it over when you see that the edges look rubbery.

Nice and golden brown.  I oiled the griddle beforehand with canola oil.

Delicious sweet and sticky almond pancakes.
