Easy Gluten-Free Pancakes {Dairy-Free & Vegan Option}
I remembered that my Mom made pancakes from scratch using a recipe from her Betty Crocker cookbook. My mom gave me that cookbook when I left for college, and I still have it.
That’s when I decided to try to modify this tried and true pancake recipe to be gluten-free. It was an easy recipe to modify, and the pancakes turned out light and fluffy.

Calories 151 kcal
Ingredients
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg egg Vegan option use Bob's Red Mill egg replacer
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour blend already has it)
1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup milk dairy-free/Vegan use almond, coconut or almond milk
Instructions
In a large bowl whisk the egg (or egg replacer), granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and the vegetable oil together.
Add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it), gluten-free baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and mix until fully combined.
Stir in milk and mix until smooth. For thinner pancakes stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk.
Scoop the batter into a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto a greased griddle or pan for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble and pancakes start to puff. Flip/turn the pancakes and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown.
Top with butter, syrup or favorite topping. Enjoy!
These pancakes can be frozen and reheated in the microwave. To freeze the pancakes, allow them to completely cool and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze them for 10 minutes. Flash freezing them keeps them from sticking together. Once the pancakes are flash frozen, you can remove them from the baking sheet and place them inside a freezer-safe bag or air-tight container.

I like to use an electric griddle to cook my pancakes, and I and set it to 350 °
Make sure your syrup is gluten-free. I like to pure maple syrup.
