Gluten Free Pancakes

Gluten Free Pancakes make the perfect breakfast! These ones are thicker than a crepe, but thinner than a pancake. They have great texture and flavour. They roll nicely to be filled with your favourite fruit, or can be eaten with syrup and bananas. If you omit the vanilla from the recipe they make a great savoury wrap for breakfast burritos! They are quick and easy to make, and are sure to become a new family tradition. 

Valentine's Day is coming up, and many people feel love in the air whether they have a significant other or are flying solo. While Valentine's Day started as a romantic holiday, todays commercialized version of Valentines day is more about celebrating LOVE with everyone. There is a Valentine's card available for everyone in your life, but homemade gifts are always a little more appreciated and thoughtful. While homemade cards with heart outlines are wonderful, baking is a great way to show anyone you care, and it can be much quicker if you have a lot of people you want to recognize! Valentine's Day is a great day to celebrate all the amazing people in your life and show them that you appreciate them.

Valentines day is the perfect day to indulge and enjoy your favourite foods. Why not enjoy breakfast in bed, or throw a breakfast party with your best friends? Sometimes being gluten free makes it difficult to go out for breakfast, but eating delicious foods in the comfort of your home is always more relaxing and enjoyable! Especially when you are enjoying these foods with the people you love.

Gluten Free Pancakes

1 1/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour
1 Tsp Corn Starch
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Cup Almond Milk
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp Oil (I Used Melted Coconut Oil)
1 Tbsp Honey
1/2 Tbsp Vanilla

In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients, and in a separate bowl combine all the wet ingredients. Mix the two bowls together and place in  the fridge for thirty minutes. In a skillet, with a teaspoon of oil in the bottom, cook the pancake batter 1/4 cup at a time on medium heat. Cook on one side for approximately three minutes, until bubbles form and stop closing. Flip over and cook for another minute, or until golden brown. Top with your favourite berries, or syrup and enjoy!

Makes Approximately 8 1/4 Cup Pancakes

These pancakes are very versatile. They are thicker than a crepe, but thinner that a gluten filled pancake. If you omit the vanilla they can be rolled and used as a shell for breakfast wraps or lunches. They can be enjoyed as traditional pancakes, or baked with your favourite fillings. Do not be afraid to experiment! Throw your favourite berries or chocolate chips into the batter, or enjoy with bacon and eggs on top instead of toast! The best part of being in the kitchen is seeing what you can create!

I hope everyone has a wonderful, gluten free Valentine's Day and enjoys a heart filled day of loving fun!
