I haven’t read your substack before and I was not expecting a gluten free pancake! I’m about two months in on a GF diet (for an autoimmune condition that needed a course change) and not feeling very happy about it. I can’t wait to try this!
I love almond flour and buckwheat etc for all their flavor, and the benefit of tenderness you get without gluten. It must be tough to skip bread and pizza etc but hopefully you can find a few recipe here that won’t make you miss it.
These unfortunately did not work out as hoped in our house. The almond wanted to burn before gaining enough structure to flip. The texture of the salvageable cakes was too crumbly for my preference. I’ll have to try again
Sorry to hear it! They take a little longer to set than a regular pancake, try lowering the heat or mixing 50/50 regular flour if you don’t like crumbly.
Wonder If substitute baking powder with a half a spoon of soda foamed by equal parts of lemon juice/apple vinegar would work? I always add it to crepes, pancakes and cakes for fluffiness and rise.
OMG, the picture of the kids made my day!! Too funny! Happy Weekend.

Would buckwheat flour work well as a substitute for almond flour? Or even oat flour?
I haven’t tried oat, but use buckwheat often, usually without the baking powder and vanilla, and make them thin/flat galettes.
Thank you! I might give them a shot
Just so you know, there are about 80 bazillion recipes for gluten-free foods that are absolutely delicious.
Made these this morning and they were a hit! And so much more filling 🙌
definatinatly making these. Just love the photo of your kids in the kitchen! very much relate to that happy chaos in the kitchen. xo -nicole
OMG! That photo of the kids is so cute, just like the one in the little red wagon for Fun Fish was too. Can't wait to try this one out.
So excited to make these! I find it so hard to get almond flour in the UK but it’s easy to get ground almonds, would these be a possible substitute?
Absolutely - fine ground is the same thing as almond flour in my books.
And it's naturally gluten free without a million ingredients!! Will definitely make these: thank you :)
It’s 10:30 PM, now I’m craving pancakes. And I don’t usually like pancakes.
After looking far and wide for an excellent almond flour pancake recipe, I have finally found it. Thank you for sharing it!

Thank you for the tips!
I love the idea of adding torn dates after flipping!

You can, just pay more attention to how much you use, because it can taste bitter if in excess.
I made these! So lovely - it does take a little more patience and lower heat than a pancake with flour but I was also full for much longer
I love this!
I bought a bunch of coconut flour, and use it less often than I imagined. Would it be ridiculous of me to try subbing it in for almond flour?
The honest answer is I have no clue! If you try it please report back.
I think the coconut flour absorbs more liquid than other flours, so you may have to take that into consideration.
Good tip! I chickened out on trying it for Sunday breakfast this week, but maybe next week.
there's a reason to live biting into a crispy edge pancake
