Prepare the Pancake Batter

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast.
  • Add eggs, milk and chopped chives, stirring until a smooth batter forms
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to absorb moisture.

  • Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed. Season to taste.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or avocado oil.
  • Ladle a scoop of batter into the pan, tilting slightly to spread.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges begin to crisp.
  • Flip carefully with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve & Enjoy!

  • Drizzle miso-tahini sauce over warm pancakes.
  • Garnish with extra chopped chives or sesame seeds for added texture.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
