❤️ Why You'll Love Them
- They are sweet and rich. They're perfect for brunch on a Sunday morning.
- They are made in 20 minutes.
- They are simple and easy to make with simple ingredients.
🧾 Ingredients
- Gluten-free all-purpose flour: I used Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour. I have not tried this recipe with any other types of flour.
- Almond flour: I used super-fine almond flour.
- Baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent.
- Ground flax seeds (flax meal): You can grind flax seeds or buy flax meal. If you grind them yourself, you can use a coffee grinder or a Nutribullet with the milling blade.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk because I like to control the amount of sweetener. You could also use oat milk, soy milk, or your favorite non-dairy milk.
- Pure maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup. If you use sugar or brown sugar you may need more almond milk.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Almond extract: Adds a fruity flavor. You could leave it out.
- Chocolate chips: Enjoy Life makes vegan chocolate chips. You could also use dark chocolate chunks.
- Vegan butter or coconut oil: For cooking the pancakes. Vegan butter is richer. Coconut oil adds a slight coconut flavor. I prefer vegan butter, but both taste good. You could also use cooking spray.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Whisk to combine.
Step 3: Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl.
Step 4: Whisk until all the lumps are gone.
Step 5: Fold chocolate chips into the pancake batter.
Step 6: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add vegan butter. With a large spoon, spoon 3 tablespoonfuls of batter onto the non-stick skillet for each pancake.
Cook until golden brown and bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
💭 Tips
- Even if you are using a nonstick skillet you will still want to use vegan butter or coconut spray. It will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and it adds flavor.
- If using almond extract, taste after ¼ teaspoon to see if that's enough for you. Some people find the flavor to be a bit strong. You can also leave it out.
🥡 Storage
Let cool to room temperature and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat the leftover pancakes in the microwave by covering them with a damp paper towel at 10-second intervals. If you're cooking for a large group, keep them in the oven at 200 ° until ready to serve.
Freezing and reheating them doesn't change their taste or texture.
Just make sure to separate the pancakes with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they don't stick together.
