Crispy egg-free, low carb, vegan almond pancakes - Recipe

These thin, eggless, dairy-free, low carb vegan pancakes are exceptionally crispy and delicious. The taste reminds us a little of parathas, pan-fried Indian flatbreads. Go savory with ham and tomato toppings, or sweet with fresh berries!

Making low carb simple

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond flour, protein powder, psyllium husk, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract and applesauce. Stir together until combined, forming a thick batter.
Melt the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet, over medium heat.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, using a spatula to smooth the batter into a pancake about 3" (7 cm) in diameter.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges begin to firm, and lightly brown. Flip, and continue cooking for 2 - 3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

Tip

Keeping the pancakes small makes them easier to flip.

If you eat butter, replace the coconut oil with butter and they will taste even more amazing.

Interesting recipe. I may try it as a chapati/paratha substitute and use chickpea flour and leave out the cinnamon...maybe use garam masala..? Or, add some tumeric, ginger, and fresh cilantro..? There are a lot of options to do with this recipe!

I'm not exactly sure. You may be able to omit it completely or you could try a small amount of mashed banana or sweet potato. You may want to add slightly less banana or sweet potato and add a little more water so the consistency will be similar to applesauce. (Keep in mind that this may affect the carb count.)

Not that I am aware of. You may want to try one of our other pancake recipes if you need to skip the protein powder. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/keto-pancakes

Not a great recipe when you have to buy expensive protein powder to avoid an egg, and then buy unsweetened apply sauce, that then ends up getting thrown out as you have to buy too much - if in Britain you can find such a thing.
Perhaps give the weight of a fresh apple so one can make it as needed. But then high in carbs either way. Glad I'm not allergic to eggs but don't want to eat them first thing in the morning and then every day.

It's not recommended due to the sugar content. Here's our dairy guide for more info! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/dairy

Hello! Is it possible to replace the protein powder with collagen powder? That's what I have on hand. Thanks!

Hi, Melissa! This would not be recommended, as these products act differently and will produce a different texture.

I don't have a non-stick frying pan and this mixture is sticking very badly. Any advice on what I could do? Perhaps with a change of oil? (I need to stay dairy free!)

You could try adding a little more coconut oil between pancakes. Also, keeping them small and letting them cook thoroughly on the first side will assist with the flipping process.

I did try this originally however it seems the mixture is too heavy for the oil. When I tried a second time, having added a great deal of almond milk to make it less dense, the single drip dropped straight to the bottom of the pan beneath the oil and stuck immediately. I don't know what to do with my mixing bowl full of mixture! Help please!

Unfortunately the best answer for this problem is to use the non-stick pan.

Due to an allergy, I appreciate having an egg-free recipe, and unflavored protein powder comes in handy for so many recipes. As far as applesauce, it is readily available in the UK, and they sell it as baby food there, too but I make a small amount of my own: simmer a peeled, cored apple until soft, then mash or puree.
