Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated or coconut sugar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries (can use frozen, do not thaw)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries to avoid crushing.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  6. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  8. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  10. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil while cooking remaining batter.
  11. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Fold blueberries gently to avoid bursting. Use medium heat to cook evenly. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add more gluten-free flour. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) covered loosely with foil. Use fresh blueberries for best flavor; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to batter.
