These almond flour pancakes are tender, hearty and delicious. Plus, they're gluten-free and lower in carbohydrates than most. The recipe yields about 12 pancakes (it can be easily halved, but extra pancakes freeze well, so I suggest making the full batch).

Classic Belgian Waffles

Classic Belgian Waffles

Light, crispy on the outside, and pillowy-soft on the inside — these classic Belgian waffles are the gold standard of weekend breakfasts.

FAIR WARNING: For reasons that I have not been able to deduce, these pancakes haven't turned out well for everyone like they did for me (I've made them six times and they always turned out well!). Oat flour is always a little finicky but I don't know why these pancakes have been particularly problematic. These pancakes are the reason why my cookbook's pancakes aren't oat flour based.
