Ingredients
- 3/4 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour *I use King Arthur - keep in mind not all flours are created equal!
- 1/4 cup of your favorite protein powder OR more flour *See notes about protein powders
- 1 egg room temp *see notes for vegan option
- 3/4 cup milk, of choice
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil *or other oil/butter
- 1 tbsp coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp monk fruit or coconut sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp xantham gum *ONLY if your flour blend doesn't contain it
- good pinch sea salt
mix-in's (optional)
- any mix-in's you'd like (optional): Cinnamon, chocolate chips, berries, etc.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients, whisking well. Then stir in the dry ingredients, mixing until pancake batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat the griddle or pan and spray with spray oil or use a little coconut oil. Once the griddle or pan is hot, add about 1/4 cup scoops of pancake batter onto it. If you want your pancakes thicker, careful to not spread them out too much.
- Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble and pancakes start to puff up. Flip the pancakes and cook until they are golden brown.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Can you make gluten-free pancakes vegan or egg-free? Yes! Bob's Red Mill egg replacer worked great! I would no recommend using a flax or chia egg as the results were not close to the version with eggs.
- What if my batter is too thin/pancakes turn out too thin? Add another tablespoon or two of flour to the batter! You can test the batter by making one pancake to see how the consistency is!
- Can you freeze gluten-free pancakes? Yes! Once the pancakes have cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. On busy mornings, you can pop pancakes in the toaster oven and you’ve got the perfect gluten-free breakfast!
- Can you store leftover pancakes? Gluten-free pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for a few days.To store pancakes, allow them to fully cool first. Separate the pancakes with parchment paper and store them in an airtight container or bag.
- Want to make protein pancakes? Swap 1/4 of the flour for your favorite protein powder! Keep in mind that i've only tried plant-based protein powder, but I think why and other forms should work, just do not use collagen as a sub as it's not absorbent like other powders.
