Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend (*see note)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (*see note)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cup non-dairy milk *see note
  • ¼ cup light oil * see note
  • 1 tablespoon oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients and the brown sugar and mix.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just barely mixed. (*see note)
  • NOTE: Every gluten free flour blend performs a little differently. Some of the starchy blends need more liquid than others. Use the photo as a guide to the consistency that the gluten free pancake batter should be.
  • Heat a skillet, cast-iron pan, or griddle to medium temperature. Add a little light oil if your skillet is not non-stick.
  • Test to make sure your skillet is hot by dropping a small droplet of water onto the skillet. If it sizzles, the skillet is ready.
  • Use a ladle to pour pancake batter onto the skillet. Pour into small circles, depending on what size you want your pancakes to be. Turn the heat to medium-low.
  • When you see tiny bubbles in the pancake batter, and the top looks duller than glossy, use a spatula to flip your pancakes to cook the other side. Cook on the other side about 2 minutes then remove to a plate.
  • HINT: If you are using a cast-iron pan, use a metal spatula for flipping the pancakes. If you are using a frying pan or non-stick skillet, it is important to use a plastic spatula so you don't scratch the surface of the pan.
  • Top with maple syrup, butter, and fresh fruit.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF Blend, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF Blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend gluten free flours. Others may work very well, I just haven't tested other brands yet.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn't contain Xanthan Gum, please add 1 teaspoon!
  3. I like to use brown sugar but you can use regular sugar if you prefer. Coconut sugar doesn't work very well. I would use honey if you are looking to use unrefined sugar.
  4. I like to use coconut oil for making pancakes because it adds a little sweetness. Coconut oil also has a high smoking point, making it perfect for pancakes. If you notice your pancakes sticking to the pan, you need to use a little more oil.
  5. You can use any non-dairy milk or regular milk, but I do NOT suggest canned coconut milk.
  6. Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, walnuts or pecans, or fresh fruit to the pancake batter.
  7. These pancakes will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
