Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup (or honey, if not strict GFCF)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted, plus more for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly, if needed, to create an even round.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, additional lemon zest, maple syrup, or a dollop of dairy-free coconut yogurt.
