🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
First, let’s prep! In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly distributed; no one wants a salty pancake surprise.
In a seperate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. I find that using room temperature eggs helps everything blend together more smoothly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Be careful not to be too rough with the batter here.
Gently fold in the fresh berries. I like to use a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for the best flavor and color. Feel free to use whatever berries you have on hand!
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large pan over medium heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates almost immediately. Don't overcrowd the pan; work in batches.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Look for bubbles forming on the surface as a sign that they’re ready to flip.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. I love a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of Greek yogurt, but the sky's the limit! And maybe some extra fresh berries? Go wild!
📝 Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of lemon zest to the batter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
