Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (melted, for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make a flax egg. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the flax egg to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with melted coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Gently flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, more maple syrup, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
