Fluffy Gluten and Dairy Free Pancakes


  • Author: Liz Willis
  • Yield: approximately 10 pancakes 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups gluten free flour (I have used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour or cup 4 cup wholesome blend)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/3 cup dairy free milk (I use oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (the thick kind in a can)
  • 3/4 cup water + 1 tablespoon
  • Your Favorite Toppings: butter (vegan or other), syrup, peanut butter or any nut butter (my personal favorite), whipped topping (dairy free or other), fruit, or powdered sugar.

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten free flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Open the can of coconut milk and whisk it so that it’s smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oil, 1/3 cup oat milk, 1/2 cup coconut milk,and3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon water until uniform.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. This is supposed to be a thicker batter. Adding more liquid will make the pancakes thin and rubbery.
  5. Preheat your griddle to medium heat* and using a 1/4 cup measure, pour your pancake batter onto the pan making sure there is enough space between to let the pancakes settle out a bit. The pancakes are ready to flip when the bubbles come to the surface, burst, and stay open.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden (about 2 minutes).
  7. To ensure your pancakes stay extra fluffy, don’t stack them on a plate coming right off the griddle. Instead, place them in a single layer until you’re ready to stack and serve them.

Notes

Griddle heat: you may need to adjust your griddle temperature up or down during the cooking process. If you pour batter onto the pan and it sizzles violently or you notice the outsides are getting done but the inside is still raw, that is a sign you need to turn the temperature down.

Coconut Milk: This recipe calls for full fat coconut milk (the thicker kind in a can) and it needs to be whisked before measuring and adding to the batter.
