My recipe for easy homemade gluten-free pancakes produces a fluffy, light breakfast pancake! The batter helps create the perfect pancake batter that makes a thick and fluffy pancake. This is the perfect breakfast recipe or even for brunch. Made with my famous gluten-free all purpose flour and topped with fresh maple syrup and butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until completely combined. NOTE: Pancake batter will be thick and will puff up as it sits.
Heat a griddle on medium-low heat. When the griddle is hot, scoop the batter onto the griddle, about 3 tablespoons-1/4 cup at a time. Use your spoon or scoop to form the round pancakes. Cook in butter (optional) or use cooking spray for dairy free. Or, if your griddle is non-stick, you can cook them dry.
Cook on the first side and then flip when little bubbles start to appear on the top of the pancakes. Cook until the other side is browned and cooked through. Repeat cooking process with the remaining batter/pancakes.
Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Notes
I use a OXO Large Cookie Scoop to portion my pancakes and get about 16 when I made them. The amount this recipe yields will depend on the size of your pancakes.
I use my Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Blend to make these pancakes. I've also successfully tried this with Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, King Arthur's Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour Blend, and Cup4Cup.
