A quick and easy recipe for light, fluffy gluten-free pancakes perfect for breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry staples and a special resting step for perfect texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour)
  • ¼ cup (30g) almond flour (optional but recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup as natural sweetener)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) of milk and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk-like tang.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) gluten-free flour blend, ¼ cup (30g) almond flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Whisk to evenly distribute.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients along with 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to hydrate the flours and activate the leavening agents.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better batter consistency. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Let the batter rest to hydrate flours and activate leavening. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges look set. For dairy-free, substitute milk with plant-based milk and butter with coconut oil.
