Tasty Tuesdays!

Hello! Sorry I missed you yesterday, I was having internet issues!  


For this week's "Tasty Tuesdays" I wanted to share with you a gluten-free recipe that I love.  


I'm a big fan of having breakfast for dinner.....especially when it involves pancakes!  So, I want to share with you my favorite gluten-free buttermilk pancake recipe....you can enjoy it for a weekend breakfast at home or when you're craving this treat around dinner time.  


Many gluten-free flours can be dry and lack the same quality in taste as their glutinous counterparts....but this recipe definitely changes that!  








Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancakes 












Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice flour 
1/3 cup almond meal 
1 Tbs. cornstarch 
2 tsp. baking powder 
1/2 tsp. table salt 
1 cup low-fat buttermilk 
2 large eggs 
1 Tbs. canola oil 
1 Tbs. honey 
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 
Cooking spray 
Pure maple syrup, for serving 


Method:

Heat the oven to 200°F.
In a large bowl, whisk the brown rice flour, almond meal, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.



In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil, honey, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.


Coat a large nonstick griddle or skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat until hot. Working in batches, ladle a scant 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet, leaving a few inches of space between each to allow for spreading. 


Cook until golden-brown on the bottom and beginning to dry around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes until the other side is golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. 


Transfer to a large baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Spray the griddle with a fresh coating of oil between each batch.


Serve the pancakes with the maple syrup.



*Optional Add-ins 

  • Bananas (my favorite)
  • Chocolate chips 
  • Blueberries 
  • Strawberries
  • Shredded zucchini (my mom used to make this when my brother was refusing to eat veggies....it's delicious, and perfect if you have a picky eater at home)!
