Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon moringa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Add gluten-free flour, moringa powder, baking powder, and salt to a high-speed blender. Pulse briefly to combine dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour in almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the blender with the dry ingredients.
- Blend the mixture on medium speed for 30-45 seconds until a smooth, consistent batter forms with no lumps.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb liquid and achieve optimal texture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or vegan butter if needed.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated surface. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite vegan toppings.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps to create a smoother batter and ensures even cooking.
- Blend Thoroughly: When blending the dry ingredients, pulse just enough to combine them. This prevents overmixing and helps maintain the fluffy texture of your pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Letting the batter rest for 3-5 minutes is crucial. It allows the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid fully, resulting in a better texture.
- Control the Heat: Preheat your skillet on medium-low heat. Cooking at a lower temperature helps the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on your pancakes as they cook. Once small bubbles form on the surface, it’s time to flip them for that perfect golden-brown finish.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook each pancake, transfer them to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm until you’re ready to serve.
- Customize Your Toppings: Don’t be shy! Top your pancakes with maple syrup, fresh berries, or any of your favorite vegan toppings to enhance the flavor.
