Gluten-Free Pancakes
SERVES 4 TO 6

This recipe makes delicious thin pancakes. Serve hot with pure maple syrup and fresh fruit.

2 cups Gluten-Free Breakfast Flour Blend
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ cups milk of choice (rice, soy, nut, cow, coconut)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons agave syrup, honey or sugar
4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted, or grape seed oil

1. In a large bowl, sift or whisk together all the dry ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, agave syrup and coconut oil until well blended. Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Batter should have small lumps.
3. Heat a non-stick griddle or cast iron skillet wiped with a small amount of oil over medium heat. If using an electric griddle, heat to 300-325 degrees. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle and cook until the surface is covered with small bubbles that begin to pop, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook the other side for another minute or until golden brown. Transfer to a warming oven while you cook remaining pancakes.

Blueberry Pancakes
Fold 1 cup fresh or frozen (slightly thawed) blueberries into the batter. Alternatively, drop several blueberries directly on the batter as pancakes cook on the griddle.

Waffles
Double the oil in the pancake recipe and cook batter in a preheated waffle iron.
