Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure your gluten-free flour is a blend suitable for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, pour in the almond milk, followed by the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until fully combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. The batter should be thick and fluffy.
- Let the pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate, which will help make your pancakes extra fluffy.
- While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or dairy-free yogurt. Enjoy your super fluffy gluten-free pancakes!
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Look for a blend specifically designed for baking to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Don't Overmix: The secret to fluffy pancakes is a gentle hand. Mix just until the ingredients are combined - a few small lumps are actually a good sign!
- Let the Batter Rest: Those crucial 5 minutes of resting allow the baking powder to activate and create maximum fluffiness.
- Temperature Matters: Use a medium heat setting to ensure even cooking without burning the pancakes.
- Check for Bubbles: When tiny bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, it's time to flip your pancake.
- Keep Them Warm: If cooking in batches, place finished pancakes in a low-temperature oven to keep them warm and soft while you finish cooking.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While maple syrup is classic, try fresh berries, dairy-free yogurt, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra excitement!
