Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted, plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: fresh fruits, maple syrup, nut butter, or vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
- Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Pour this into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
- Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the pan.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet, making two or three pancakes at a time.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Continue until all the batter is used, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
- Enjoy fresh off the griddle, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum for better texture.
- Customize with vegan chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Allow the batter to rest and cook on medium heat for even cooking.
- Do a test pancake to ensure your pan is at the right temperature.
