Good morning! Happy Sunday, friends!
I am just popping in to share a delicious pancake recipe with you that Mal and I thoroughly enjoyed for breakfast this morning. Seriously, it was heavenly: Gluten-free Pancakes with Honey-Almond Butter. OMG, yum.
My inspiration for the honey-almond butter actually came from B. Matthew’s Eatery in Savannah. The restaurant serves their freshly baked bread with the most amazing honey-almond butter, and I just had to recreate it at home. And, oh wow, it’s incredible.
The gluten-free pancakes are made with almond meal, ricotta, and almond milk, which gives them a rich and hearty flavor along with lots of moisture and chew””the texture is almost like that of a muffin. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and I hope you enjoy it as much as Mal and I did this morning! (He’s still talking about how delicious they tasted!)
Gluten-free Pancakes with Honey-Almond Butter
Makes 8-10 pancakes
Ingredients:
Pancakes
- 1.5 cups almond meal
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Honey-Almond Butter
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Directions:
- To make Honey-Almond Butter, combine butter with honey and almond extract by hand in a small bowl.
- Next combine pancake ingredients in a separate mixing bowl until smooth.
- Heat pan (or griddle) over medium heat; coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour batter onto the pan/griddle and use the backside of a spoon to shape it.
- Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes and then flip. Cook on the other side for about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately with Honey-Almond Butter and maple syrup (optional).
These look and sound divine!! I’ve been meaning to get a griddle for easier pancake making, these may be the first recipe I use on it:)
These look perfect… may add some blueberries in the batter!
Oh my gosh, YUM. I’m totally drooling over these <3

I haven’t made pancakes in years. Too many calories, but these look delicious!
These look and sound so good! I love both honey and almond butter so combining them is genius to me 🙂
So I’m a little embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I am not a pancake lover. However, the above picture makes me want to convert to pancakedom. Can’t wait to try these!

I think the honey almond butter would make this amazing! I never thought to mix my almond butter with some honey before putting it on anything, but that’s a great idea!
Top it off with some fresh strawberries or blueberries and this is right up my alley!
These look delish!
These look amazing! I must try!!!
Hi Tina! What brand of almond meal do you use? I love Bob’s Red Mill for most gluten-free baking/cooking but it’s kind of pricey. I found a much cheaper option at Trader Joe’s but the texture seems different. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks!
I use the Trader Joe’s brand and love it. It’s awesome for baking! 😄
does the almond meal give off a big almond taste? I don’t care for them but I do drink almond milk as its nutty but has no almond flavor, wondering if its the same.
I just found your blog and I love it! 🙂
Oh these look like heaven!! I cant wait to try these and love your blog so far!! Thanks for sharing!!

I am a HUGE pancake lover!!! As an long distance athlete I can chow down on A LOT of them too! These look wonderful!!
I was wondering if almond flour would work instead of almond meal? Thanks!
Yep! 🙂
These looks amazing! Must try!!!
Can these be made without the ricotta???i can’t do dairy
Just made these! Soooooo good, my mom and I both loved them. I didn’t have ricotta so I used greek yogurt instead and they turned out great!
So glad you liked them! 😄
