These fluffy almond flour pancakes taste delicious! Light and fluffy as well as lower carb, protein packed and gluten free. They can also be made dairy free by subbing the butter for coconut oil, ghee or any other non-dairy alternative.

I have problems with regulating my blood sugar, It seems like I always have, it is just a part of my genetics. So I really enjoy these pancakes because I can still eat them, they feel indulgent and still feel good afterwards. I love them with a little berry compote on top or some sugar free syrup or almond butter.
