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 chewββthe 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!)

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! Γ°ΕΈΛβ
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! π
Oh these look like heaven!! I cant wait to try these and love your blog so far!! Thanks for sharing!!

I was wondering if almond flour would work instead of almond meal? Thanks!
Yep! π
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! Γ°ΕΈΛβ
