A simple, quick, and reliable recipe for light and airy gluten-free pancakes that everyone will love. Perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: fresh berries or chocolate chips, ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until no lumps remain (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth (about 3 minutes).
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Small lumps are okay; do not overmix (1-2 minutes).
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test heat by sprinkling water drops; they should dance and evaporate quickly. Lightly brush or spray with oil or butter.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate leavening agents for fluffiness. Use medium heat to avoid burning outside while raw inside. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough pancakes. Fresh baking powder and soda are essential. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges are set. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.
