how to make Gluten Free Pancakes

Ingredients :

1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions :

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while the skillet heats.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

how to serve Gluten Free Pancakes

Serve your gluten-free pancakes warm, straight from the skillet. They taste great with maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of yogurt. Add fresh fruit like berries or banana slices for a healthy twist. Feel free to include nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor!

how to store Gluten Free Pancakes

To store leftover pancakes, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them by separating each pancake with parchment paper, placing them in a freezer-safe bag, and storing them for up to 2 months.

When you’re ready to eat, simply heat them in the microwave or toast them.
