Almond meal griddle cakes…
Posted on November 22, 2009 by Sarah in Breakfast, Food, News | 27 Comments
Missing pancakes? Look no further!! Almond meal cakes are easy, yummy, and will keep nicely for a few days in the fridge for quick snacking – and kids like them too! Here is my recipe: 2 cups of almond meal, 3 eggs, 1/2 can of coconut milk, a big drizzle of either walnut oil or coconut oil, 2 apples grated, and a whole lot of cinnamon. Mix all ingredients together and cook on a super hot griddle or frying pan in more walnut or coconut oil. These cakes are great warm or cold and are delicious served with bacon, of course!

Hi! I heard about your blog from Robb Wolf. I got certified in Atlanta last week-end. I am doing the same type of thing at www,givingupgrains.wordpress.com. We are week 2 on a grain free, dairy free diet. I did the same thing and took my whole family to this diet. I have two awesome little boys and a great husband. Anyway, I love your blog and I think we think a lot alike. I am a trainer at Cross Fit North Fulton in Roswell GA. I loved what I learned from Rob and am enjoying this experience a lot. My 7 year old son has autism and has been gluten free and casein free since he was 20 months so I am looking forward to cleaning ups his diet even more and seeing what happens. It definitely affects him in a positive way. This has been pretty easy to do with my 3 year old as well. We are feeling better in the Butch house already!
Anyway, thanks for sharing your info!
This is the type of site I constantly search for! Thank you so much. Keep it up!!!!
would love to know what you guys are serving for thanksgiving…keeping it Paleo? Have you had any luck with any Paleo stuffing recipes? I see a few out there, but haven’t tried any.
Couple of questions….What is almond meal? Second, my understanding is that walnut oil should not be used with high heat. I can’t remember where I read that, but just recently did. Thanks for all your great recipes and hard work!
Hey Ms. Trish! Almond meal is just almonds ground up super fine so it’s almost a flour like texture. According to the Spectrum Organics website, you shouldn’t heat walnut oil past 400 degrees (do not let it get so hot that is smokes), otherwise it’s fine to cook with! Here’s the link to the Spectrum site: http://www.spectrumorganics.com/images/uploads/49623ec41cb5b.pdf
Hey Sally!
I have not tried any paleo stuffing recipes, if you ever do, let me know how it goes!
Hi,
Love you posts! Great recipe! I tried it with 1/2 can of organic pumpkin and omitted the apples, added a tablespoon of flax seed, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice and a drizzle of raw honey. Nice seasonal mix…
Sarah I’ve had a hard time finding coconut oil, can you point me in the right direction?
Hey Davin!
Here locally you can find coconut oil at S&S Produce or Chico Natural Foods. I have also found it at Raleys in the natural foods section. Goood luck!
We tried these today and they were awesome! If you use a griddle, I recommend a temperature between 250 and 300.
I tried this wonderful recipe today and…i failed because it wont stick it together like these ones…any suggestions?…~_~…
I would suggest using less liquid if they are not holding together well. Good luck!! : )
ok~ thanks!
Thanks so much for all the Paleo tips. I’m new to the lifestyle and have really been searching for quick and easy recipe ideas that actually taste good. I made your Moroccan chicken the other night and it was fabulous!
Thanks!
So where can I buy almond meal at? Do u think they’d have it at winco or raleys?
Oh, and how do you grate apples? Could I throw them into a food processor?
Hi David!
You can use your food processor, or just use a cheese grater, that works well too, just watch out for you knuckles!
I buy mine at Trader Joe’s but you can also find almond meal at Raley’s. It’s the Red Mill brand but much more expensive then at Trader’s..
Hey, I love this blog! I make my almond meal in the food processor. You can’t put a lot in at once, but it’s less expensive. Just buy whole almonds in the bulk section and process away! Thanks Sarah for the info.
Awesome idea Stacy, thank you!
awesome blog! love finding paleo and crossfit sites. another great recipe for pancakes, thats also super easy, is:
½ cup mashed banana
2tbs almond butter
1 ½tbs ground flaxseeds
1 egg
Instructions
Place ingredients in a bowl and mix into a typical pancake consistency.
Place some coconut oil in a frying pan on low-medium
heat, and then place a scoop of pancake mixture into the
frying pan. Cook for 1min before flipping over and
cooking for a further 1min on the other side.
and apple sauce and melted frozen fruit make for a great syrup substitute! you can even add some coffee grounds and/or lemon juice to the batter for added flavor..
thanks again for all the recipes
I’m drooling – this sounds awesome, thank you!!! : )
Great ideas Raika, thank you!! : )
These look delicious! I have been enjoying coconut pancakes – recipe from MDA. I have yet to buy almond meal, but will probably do so immediately. I love the coconut pancakes but this would be a fantastic change
Made Raika’s version of the pancakes and loved them. Very tasty, didn’t even add syrup or sweetner of any kind. Only issue was that were not very fillling. Any suggestions?
Hey Tom! When you eat these almond cakes, just make sure you also eat some protein with them, like some omega 3 enriched eggs! That should help hopefully. : )
Hi!
Our family is new to to the Paleo lifestyle. My husband does Crossfit every morning and we have both enjoyed your recipe for egg cupcakes. Two of them with a slice of bacon and half an avocado is my new favorite breakfast! I made the griddle cakes this morning. I didn’t have an apple, so I used some unsweetened apple sauce. they were delicious! Thanks for the recipes!
