Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour make sure it includes xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp if not
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt 2 large eggs 1 cup plain greek yogurt dairy-free or regular
- 1/4 cup milk any kind
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil or neutral oil
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla paste
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup optional, for sweetness
cinnamon sugar mixture
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- in a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- in another bowl, mix the greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth.
- pour the dry ingredients into the wet and gently stir until just combined. don't overmix—slightly lumpy batter is okay. let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
- heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
- scoop the batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake) and spread gently if needed. sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture if desired. cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2–3 max minutes per side, flipping once bubbles form and the edges look set. covering traps steam, which helps the pancakes rise higher and stay super moist and fluffy.
- serve warm with fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or maple syrup.
