Almond Butter Pancakes

I got some almond butter, but I'd never used almond butter before so I didn't really know what to do with it. But I do love pancakes. So I thought I'd try using almond butter as a key ingredient in pancakes. It's delicious. You should try it!

Pancakes are hands down my favorite weekend breakfast. They are fun and reasonably quick to make, filling, and delicious. Since I love pancakes so much, I'm always keen to experiment with different recipes and flavor combinations. Almond butter pancakes is a fantastic combination!! 

As far as nut butters go, almond butter is fantastic! It has a lovely flavor and texture, it's easy to use in cooking, and it has a fairly mild taste compared to peanut butter. 

Since the flavor of almond butter isn't super strong, it means that these pancakes are beautifully subtle. Which is brilliant when thinking about what to top your pancakes with!

We piled on berries, slivered almonds, whipped cream, and maple syrup on our pancakes but you could really go wild with this and use whatever you prefer!
