Pancakes

I’ve struggled to make tasty pancakes ever since going gluten free several months ago. I’ve tried several recipes, but always found mixes to be better than my homemade ones. I don’t like to make two versions of one food– for example, I’m not about to make 1 batch of wheat-based pancakes and 1 batch of GF pancakes. Instead, I’ve been trying to find a GF version of that food that we all can agree is good (a good example is the cookies we made earlier– they taste exactly like wheat-based chocolate chip cookies; Emma had no idea they were any different).
So I’ve had extremely bad luck with GF pancakes. That is until I tried this recipe here. It’s just as simple as making it from a mix (hello– only 3 GF flours involved here!) and they turned out wonderful. Time saving tip: if you’re whipping these up for a Sunday morning breakfast, prep several ziploc bags or mason jars with your dry ingredients all at once. This way you’ve got all the dry ingredients already measured out (like a DIY pancake mix) and all you have to do the next time you want to make pancakes is add the wet ingredients. Tip #2: what an excellent gift or favor idea!

One itty bitty change I made to the recipe is that I added 1/4 tsp salt. Since I made these plain (not tiramisu like in the original recipe), they needed that wee bit of salt. So there you have it… the easiest, tastiest, homemade gluten free, vegan pancake recipe ever! While following the link to the recipe, spend a little time poking around the pure2raw blog. I follow it and enjoy it quite a bit. I’ve also tried a few of their recipes that I really liked but never did get around to blogging about here.

One problem I had with these guys is that they weren’t very fluffy. I’m not sure what I did wrong (they looked like they would be super fluffy), but I will try adding a full tablespoon of baking powder next time instead of just the 2 tsp called for in the recipe. 1 TB = 3 tsp. We’ll see if that fixes things. I’ve made these pancakes twice for the family and this recipe is our new go-to for pancakes.
