Instructions:
1. Mixing Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until well combined.
2. Mixing Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Ensure all the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
3. Combining Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms. Ensure that there are no lumps in the batter.
4. Preparing the Pan:
In a nonstick skillet or griddle set over medium heat, melt butter. To prevent sticking, lightly oil it with cooking spray or a small bit of butter.
5. Cooking the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter into a circular shape using the back of a spoon. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
6. Serving:
Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
