Gluten-Free Pancakes

These fluffy gluten-free buttermilk pancakes are packed with protein and fiber that actually make you feel like you ate a well-balanced breakfast. You would never guess they were gluten-free and dairy-free because the texture and taste are just like a classic buttermilk pancake. I have even included a vegan option.

Ingredients
  

Dairy-free buttermilk

  • 3/4 cup dairy-free milk I used 1/2 cup canned coconut milk with 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Dry ingredients

  • 1 cup Bob's Redmill 1-to-1 GF baking flour*
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground golden flax (optional)
  • 3 Tbsp collagen peptides (optional)(omit if vegan)

Wet ingredients

  • 1 egg (omit if vegan)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, ghee, or butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional add-ins

  • chocolate chips
  • blueberries
  • diced strawberries
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions
 

  • Add apple cider vinegar to dairy-free milk and set aside for 5 minutes
  • Mix together all dry ingredients
  • Add wet ingredients to buttermilk mixture then slowly pour into dry mix
  • If the batter is too thick to pour you may add 1-2TBSP of additional dairy-free milk
  • Mix in any optional add-ins or leave plain
  • Heat skillet over medium heat
  • Melt 1/2 tsp of oil or butter and add pancake batter by 1/4 cup.
  • Cook about 2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp on the outside. Adjust heat as needed. Makes about 7 small pancakes.

Notes

  • If vegan, omit collagen peptides and 1Tbsp of flax from dry ingredients. Replace egg with a "flax egg" and choose coconut oil over butter.
  • To make a flax egg combine 1Tbsp of ground flax with 2.5 Tbsp of water and set aside to thicken. (results may not be as fluffy)
  • I have only tested this recipe with Bob's Redmill GF 1-to-1 baking flour. I can not guarantee the same results with other flours.
