Making gluten free anything can be tricky…especially when baking or making pancakes or waffles. I have found that baking mini-muffins or mini-loaves when using gluten free flours works best. I have also found that many gluten free pancakes are quite flat.
This batch was “medium flat.” Not quite as fluffy as regular wheat flour pancakes, but not flat and rubbery like other gluten free pancakes and mixes I’ve tried. Here’s what I did differently…I really whipped the batter each time I’d go to pour the pancakes onto the griddle. I think that “aerating” the batter by whipping it hard helped give them a extra bit of fluff!
And I tried this batch with the free coconut milk that I got the other week. I’ve always used rice or almond milk…but I really like the coconut-y flavor of these pancakes.
I’m calling these a gluten free pancake success!
