"I made these this morning and was quite surprised how they turned out, quite well acually. Its so funny when you do things only one way and never expect an alternative to be as successful" .
The meal
I had loads of almonds so I blanched and ground them. I did not get the fine flour that I liked it was quite damp and clumpy, so I dried the grounds in the dehydrator for a while and then ground again. My blender is a reasonable one but I am sure that a model that is made for milling would give much better results .The other option is buy Almond flour milled for cooking(specialty shops) or Almond meal from the supermarket. So what I did to get a better batter was when I added the wet ingredients I let the blender run awhile longer to smooth it right down to avoid grittiness, oh and ill do a nutritional profile for them and update for those wanting to know fats carbs and protein .
Almond Flour Pancakes
1 1/2 cups of almond flour
4 egg whites
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup reduced fat coconut cream(or substitute with milk or rice milk )
pinch of sea salt
sweetener
vanilla extract
2tsp of cold pressed oil of choice (olive,coconut)
1/2 plus of water enough to bring to a nice consistency
Variations: grated apple or fruit of choice to add for a fruit pancake
also can be made as a savoury pancake.
blend all but the water then add until you get desired batter
Note
when adding fruit such as grated apple cook these on a lower heat for longer and due to the added texture they are fragile so make sure they are quite set before you turn.
