Amazing Almond Pancakes

Whenever we visit my parents in Michigan, my mom loves to make pancakes with the kids. She doesn’t just make plain pancakes though. She has the kids pick out different flavors to mix in: vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and even almond.

Then while we are eating, we guess which pancakes have which flavors and vote for those we like best. You’d think the chocolate would win hands down, but everyone always loves the almond. Inspired by my mom’s taste tests, I decided to put a different spin on mom’s pancakes and instead of adding almond flavoring, I used Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Milk.

The pancakes came out so light and fluffy and, true to the title of the recipe, they were amazing!

We all loved these pancakes so much, they were gone in minutes! We even enjoyed a glass of Almond Breeze along with our pancakes. Kora and Logan thought it was delicious and asked for seconds. I’m excited to have tried cooking with almond milk and will definitely be doing so again soon.

Amazing Almond Pancakes

Pancakes8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Milk
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
Directions
  1. Turn on stove burner to Low. Coat skillet lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Stir in milk and eggs. Whisk until lumps are gone.
  4. Let batter stand 5 minutes.
  5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto skillet. Once bubbles form, flip pancakes. Cook until lightly browned.
  6. Serve warm with butter and syrup and enjoy!

I was also excited to learn that Almond Breeze products are dairy, soy, egg, peanut, gluten free, and vegan. While we don’t have any allergies in our family, this is great to know because a few of Kora and Logan’s classmates do and if they come over, I now know what to serve or bake with. Almond Breeze almond milk is also a great source of calcium and vitamins D & E and it’s only 60 calories per serving.

  4. Ya know, I’ve never really thought about using soy milk in pancakes (even though that’s all I drink!) Thanks for the idea!

  6. I would never of thought to use Almond Breeze in pancakes. we use it in our coffee, milkshakes and other things. This sounds great. I love a new twist to an old favorite.

  7. Thanks for posting this! I tried going dairy free once just to see if it made me feel btteer. I didn’t really notice a difference but I still buy Almond Breeze occasionally. I’ve been having trouble finding the unsweetened plain kind lately though! :(

  8. We use Almond Breeze when we make fruit smoothies. I will have to remember to try it when I make pancakes these sound amazing.

  10. I am a pancake lover and yours look awesome, really fluffy. I use buttermilk but may have to try the Almond Milk as a more nutritious option. I started using whole wheat flour and really enjoy the flavor it brings.

  12. Great idea! I love almond flavored anything so these pancakes really appeal to me.

  14. Interesting twist on pancakes. Did not know they had almond milk. At first I thought you might have crushed them into batter, but this is easier!

  22. This sounds so good. I’m just curious, do you think if I substituted a soymilk (say vanilla or chocolate flavor), it would still work? I know almond milk has a different consistency, so I’m just curious if I would have to change something else too?
