Fluffy Gluten Free Pancakes Dairy Free Recipes

FLUFFY GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl; mix well.
• Mix egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a second bowl until well combined. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture with a wooden spoon until a lumpy batter forms. Pour in milk and mix until a smooth batter forms. Set batter aside to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too thick.
• Heat oil in a griddle over medium-low heat. Drop 1 to 2 heaped tablespoonfuls onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

EASY GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES {DAIRY-FREE & VEGAN OPTION}

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk the egg (or egg replacer), granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and the vegetable oil together.
• Add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it), gluten-free baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and mix until fully combined.
• Stir in milk and mix until smooth. For thinner pancakes stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk.
• Scoop the batter into a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto a greased griddle or pan for each pancake.
• Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble and pancakes start to puff. Flip/turn the pancakes and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown.
• Top with butter, syrup or favorite topping. Enjoy!
• These pancakes can be frozen and reheated in the microwave. To freeze the pancakes, allow them to completely cool and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze them for 10 minutes. Flash freezing them keeps them from sticking together. Once the pancakes are flash frozen, you can remove them from the baking sheet and place them inside a freezer-safe bag or air-tight container.

FLUFFY GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES (DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until you get a light and pale yellow mixture.
• Sift in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already has it), baking powder, and salt. Whisk well until you get a thick mixture.
• Add the almond milk and whisk some more until you get a homogeneous pancake batter. If should be rather thick, but you prefer thinner pancakes, you can add 1 or 2 extra tablespoons of milk.
• Heat up a greased non-stick skillet (or pancake griddle if you have one) over medium-high heat, and pour scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter to form each pancake. Let the batter cook for at least 2 minutes or until bubbles rise to the surface of the batter and the bottom is golden brown, before flipping the pancake over to the other side. Allow the pancake to cook for another 2 minutes until it is golden brown on the bottom before removing it from the skillet.
• Repeat until all the pancake batter is used.
• Serve the pancakes with fresh fruit and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

FLUFFY GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES WITH SORGHUM FLOUR & BUTTERMILK {DAIRY-FREE OPTION}

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the sorghum and sweet rice flours with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a measuring pitcher or bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and quickly stir with a flexible spatula until halfway combined; 8 to 10 strokes. Pour in the melted butter and quickly but gently mix until the batter is just combined and no butter or flour streaks remain. Some lumps are ok. Take care not to overmix the batter or it will become thin and the pancakes will cook up flatter and more tough.
• Set the batter aside for a minute or two to thicken. Meanwhile, preheat a wide skillet or griddle over medium heat. I prefer well-seasoned cast iron or ceramic nonstick. When the pan is hot, lower to medium-low or low.
• Coat the hot pan with a thin layer of ghee or oil. Drop the batter by ¼ - 1/3 cups into the hot oil. Cook on the first side until the bottoms are golden, 2-3 minutes. Gently flip, taking care not to deflate the pancakes. Cook on the second side until the bottoms are golden, 2-3 more minutes.
• Remove the pancakes to a wire rack. When you're ready to serve, reheat any cooled pancakes in the hot pan. Alternatively put them in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
• Serve with your favorite toppings. I like mine piled high with fresh seasonal fruit, a big dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of hemp seed, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
• Pancakes can be made ahead and warmed in a hot skillet or toaster oven when ready to serve. They will keep for up to 4 days airtight in the refrigerator.
