Make fluffy, moist pancakes using a gluten-free flour blend, mashed banana, and chocolate chips. This recipe is simple to follow for a satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1/2 medium banana)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, mashed banana, melted butter or oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing can make gluten-free pancakes dense.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface and the edges will look set before you flip.
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For dairy-free pancakes, use almond milk or another non-dairy milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients to help with structure.
  • Do not press down on the pancakes after flipping; this removes air and makes them flat.
