Recipe: Gluten Free Dairy Free Pancakes

I used to be obsessed with a simple pancake recipe that involved minimal ingredients and a blender. It was my go-to for quick breakfasts, lazy weekend brunches—you name it. But if you’re anything like me, you know how it goes: eat something to death, get completely sick of it, and then refuse to touch it for a year (or more).

Well, that’s exactly where we’re at with this new pancake recipe… except I’m not even close to being sick of it. In fact, I make it at least once a week (sometimes more). They’re that delicious.

A friend of mine asked for the recipe a few weeks ago, and I promised her I’d put it into a blog post so she—and you—could whip them up too. So, here it is!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pancakes

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10–15 minutes

Total Time: 15–20 minutes

Servings: About 12 pancakes(I usually make 6 fresh, save the remaining batter in the fridge, and cook the rest the next day. Depending on pancake size, of course!)

Ingredients:

• 1–2 medium ripe bananas (with those lovely little brown spots for extra sweetness), peeled and mashed

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (olive oil works too if that’s what you have on hand)

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/8 tsp sea salt

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 cup gluten-free flour (I use Bob Red Mill's All Purpose)

• ½ – ¾ cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)

• Optional: a (large) handful of dairy-free chocolate chips (this is always my vibe)
  

Method:

1. Heat a pan over low-medium heat with a thin layer of coconut oil.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana(s) with a fork.

3. Add the egg, melted oil, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to combine.

4. Add the gluten-free flour and slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring until you have a smooth batter.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips if you’re feeling it (trust me, you should!).

6. Scoop your desired amount of batter onto the pan. Let cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.

7. Stack those pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle on your favourite toppings, and enjoy every bite.
