Pancakes and Sundays go together like peas and carrots. At least that’s what I think Forrest Gump would say.

Ryan and I awoke in the mood for pancakes, but wanted pancakes with a little more staying power than basic ‘cakes. Since we were out of oatmeal, most of my favorite protein pancake recipes were out, so I grabbed the almond butter we had on hand, figuring I could incorporate it into pancakes in some way to add protein and healthy fat to our breakfast.

I kept things very simple with the pancakes and use minimal ingredients. I was pretty shocked when they ended up being a huge hit in our house.



An added and unexpected bonus?

They’re both gluten-free and Paleo friendly for those of you out there who might have some dietary restrictions.

Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup almond butter
3 eggs
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pour batter onto griddle and allow to cook until bottoms start to slightly brown, about three minutes
Flip and continue to cook until other side slightly browns, about two to three minutes

These pancakes are dense and incredibly filling. I topped mine with syrup and crushed almonds and loved them!
