Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder (gluten-free)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Pancake Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should still have a few lumps.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Expert Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Pancakes
Use a Gluten-Free Flour Blend – A good-quality gluten-free flour blend ensures light, fluffy pancakes.
Don’t Overmix – Stir just until the ingredients are combined; overmixing can make the pancakes dense.
Adjust Consistency – If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Pair It With
Fresh Berries – Sweet, juicy berries balance the fluffiness of the pancakes.
Bacon or Sausage – For a savory addition, crispy bacon or sausage on the side is the perfect complement.
A Cup of Herbal Tea – Light, calming tea pairs perfectly with a stack of warm pancakes.
Storing & Reheating
- Refrigeration: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat pancakes in a toaster or oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore their fluffy texture.
