One bite and you will think they are down right magical.

Flourless Pancakes Ingredients

• Eggs – Just like with any other batter, eggs are what gives baked goods their airy texture. It also lightens the heaviness of the almond butter and provides the structure to the pancakes.
• Flax Meal – When ground into a fine meal, flax acts as another type of binder. It will help hold the almond butter and eggs together.
• Monk Fruit – This is your main sweetener for these flourless pancakes. Depending on your tastebuds and desired toppings, you can either omit this or add more. It will not change the texture of the pancakes, just be sure to mix it in properly until it is well dissolved.
