Gluten Free Pancakes

There’s something truly special about weekends for me, and nothing kicks them off quite like a stack of warm, fluffy Gluten Free Pancakes. I remember the mornings when I’d wake up to the smell of pancakes wafting through the air, a sweet invitation to the table. These pancakes are not just any ordinary breakfast; they’re the perfect combination of lightness and flavor that brings joy with every bite. Whether you’re hosting brunch or just treating yourself, this recipe has become a family favorite that I cherish.

Ingredients Overview for Gluten Free Pancakes

When it comes to the ingredients for these Gluten Free Pancakes, I believe in the magic of simple, wholesome components. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in creating that perfect pancake experience. The blanched almond flour gives them a nutty flavor while ensuring they stay light. The buttermilk adds a rich tanginess that balances the sweetness, making each bite heavenly.

• 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour: A wholesome base that provides a nutty flavor and excellent texture.
• ½ cup tapioca flour: This adds chewiness and helps bind the ingredients, ensuring the pancakes hold together perfectly.
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar: Just the right amount of sweetness to enhance the flavor without being overpowering.
• 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder: This leavening agent is essential for fluffy pancakes, helping them rise beautifully.
• 1 teaspoon baking soda: Works in conjunction with the baking powder to give the pancakes their airy structure.
• ½ teaspoon salt: A touch of salt to balance and enhance the sweetness.
• 1 ⅓ cups buttermilk: Adds moisture and a slight tang that makes every bite deliciously rich.
• 3 large eggs: These act as the binding agent, providing structure and richness.
• 3 tablespoons butter: Melted butter adds flavor and moisture, making the pancakes irresistible.
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup: Enhances sweetness naturally while adding a delightful flavor.
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract: Infuses the pancakes with warmth and sweetness, elevating their overall flavor.

Recipe Directions for Gluten Free Pancakes

Making these Gluten Free Pancakes is as enjoyable as eating them! Follow these simple steps to bring your breakfast to life. Trust me, when you follow along, the process becomes as fun as the outcome.

1. Start by taking a medium mixing bowl and combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk until everything is well blended. This step is crucial because it ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents, which will help your pancakes rise beautifully.

2. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined. You should see a lovely, creamy mixture; this is where the magic begins!

3. Now, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, and we want them fluffy! Aim for a smooth batter without overworking it.

4. Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Let it warm up nicely; this step is essential for achieving that golden-brown crust.

5. Once heated, pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. I like to use a measuring cup to keep the pancakes uniform in size. Watch for bubbles to form on the surface, indicating they’re ready to flip.

6. When the edges look set and bubbles form, it’s time to flip! Carefully turn the pancake over with a spatula. Cook for another minute or two until it’s lightly browned and cooked through.

7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning. Each pancake should come out fluffy and perfectly golden.

8. Once cooked, stack the pancakes on a plate and keep warm in the oven if needed. You can serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence!

9. Enjoy your delightful Gluten Free Pancakes warm, and watch them disappear as your loved ones gather around!

Substitutions and Tips

While the recipe is fantastic as is, here are some tips to ensure your experience is even better. These suggestions can help you customize your pancakes to your liking.
