• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven or serve immediately with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Helpful Tips

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. You can also add chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas to the batter for a fun variation. If you prefer dairy-free options, use almond milk and coconut oil.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in a toaster or microwave. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes with parchment paper between each one and reheat directly from the freezer.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have gluten-free all-purpose flour, you can make your own blend using equal parts rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour. For an egg-free version, use a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water) to replace each egg.

Pairings

Serve these classic pancakes with a side of fresh fruit, crispy turkey bacon, or a warm cup of coffee. They also pair beautifully with a refreshing orange juice or a smooth vanilla latte.
