I always keep this easy gluten-free pancake mix on hand—it’s made with pantry staples and comes together in minutes. You can store the dry mix in an airtight container and just add the wet ingredients when you're ready to cook. It’s just as convenient as a boxed mix but even better tasting.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg Vegan option use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour* I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour blend already has it)
1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk dairy-free/Vegan use almond, cashew, or coconut milk

Instructions

In a large bowl whisk the egg (or egg replacer), granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and the vegetable oil together.
Add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it), gluten-free baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and mix until fully combined.
Stir in milk and mix until smooth. For thinner pancakes stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk.
Scoop the batter into a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto a greased griddle or pan for each pancake. I love using an electric griddle set to 350°F for even cooking.
Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble and pancakes start to puff. Flip/turn the pancakes and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown.
Top with butter, syrup or favorite topping. Enjoy!

Notes

*Measure gluten-free flour the right way using the “spoon & level” method—scoop the flour into your measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Avoid scooping directly from the bag.
