Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg or Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour I personally prefer Pillsbury gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend already contains it
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk you can substitute almond, cashew, or coconut milk for a dairy-free or vegan version

Instructions
 

  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg (or egg replacer), granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  • Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if your flour blend doesn’t already contain it), and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
  • Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. If you prefer thinner pancakes, you can add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Let the pancakes cook until the edges begin to set and bubbles start to form on the surface.
  • Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook them until golden brown on the other side, which should only take another minute or two.
  • Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
