Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup (or honey, if not strict GFCF)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted, plus more for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with coconut oil.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly, if needed, to create an even round.

Step 6

Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, additional lemon zest, maple syrup, or a dollop of dairy-free coconut yogurt.
