New Weekly Recipe: Low-Carb Pancakes - Almond Meal

I actually think these low-carb pancakes taste better than the old white flour kind, and almond meal is healthier as well. Almond meal (same as almond flour) differs a bit from one batch to the other, so you may have to adjust the amount of liquid to get the thickness you want.

Laura's Cooking Tip: Which Oil Should I Use?

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond meal
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup water (for puffier pancakes, you can use sparkling water)
• 2 T oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 T sweetener

Preparation:

Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I like to use a nonstick pan with a little oil. The only real difference is that they won't "bubble" on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown.

Serve with sugar-free maple syrup, Easy Three Berry Syrup, strawberry topping, or other low carb topping.
