If it’s Sunday morning, then mama’s got to have her pancakes.
And Mimosa 🙂
This recipe is so easy to make, perfect for a lazy weekend morning when you don’t want to spend too long whipping up breakfast. There’s something about adding buttermilk to this as well, it cuts through the sweet & makes the pancakes extra fluffy. And if you have extra pancakes left, you can freeze them and re-heat them later in the week. Â Yup, it’s pancakes for the win, people.
Did I mention these puppies are gluten-free?
That’s right, so you won’t be stuffed & bursting to the core afterwards. Instead you’ll have fluffy, light & flavorful pancakes, just begging to be eaten. I topped my pancakes with a strawberry compote – basically boiled strawberries & fresh orange juice with some sugar & vanilla extract. But you can top it with butter, your choice of syrup and it’s just as delicious. I also added some shredded coconut to the pancakes while they cooked, so I got a toasted coconut base which made it feel like a tropical pancake (yum!) – you can leave this out if you prefer an overall softer pancake.
Give this recipe a try & let me know what you think! Tag your pictures with #findmymojyo if you make this, I’d love to see your creations!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted gluten free all purpose flour Here's what I used
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl - baking soda, salt, sugar, gluten free flour.
- Whisk all wet ingredients in a seperate smaller mixing bowl - eggs, buttermilk, coconut oil & vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl, and stir till combined. You don't want to overwhisk this - the more you whisk, the less fluffier the pancake. Stir till the dry ingredients are folded in & combined. This is your pancake batter.
- On a hot griddle, ladle 1/4 cup of the pancake batter. If you wish to have a toasted coconut base, drizzle the batter on the griddle with shredded coconut.
- Cook till browned on the side below & bubbles form on the side up. Flip the pancake to cook evenly.
- Voila! enjoy with fruits, maple syrup of your choice of topping!
