Gluten-Free Honey Almond Collagen Pancakes
Fluffy, protein-rich pancakes made with almond flour and collagen powder, naturally sweetened with honey. These nutrient-dense pancakes offer a satisfying breakfast option with a subtle nutty flavor and golden texture. Perfect for weekend mornings or meal prep, they cook up tender and hold together well despite being grain-free.

FAQ
Can I make these without collagen powder?
Yes, simply omit the collagen powder or substitute with equal amount of additional almond flour. The pancakes will be slightly less protein-rich but still delicious.
What if my batter seems too thick?
Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency. Almond flour absorbs liquid differently than regular flour.
How long do these keep in the freezer?
Cooked pancakes freeze well for up to 3 months. Layer between parchment paper and reheat in toaster or microwave.
