Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup + 2 Tablespoons brown rice flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

2 Tablespoons sugar or other granulated sweetener (I used Madhava coconut sugar)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup liquid (both milk or water work equally well)

2 Tablespoons ground chia seed

2 Tablespoons oil

3-4 Tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. These cook best for me on a non-stick surface without spray oil, but you can use your favorite method.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the milk or water, chia seed, and oil. Microwave for 30 seconds to warm the liquid and gel the chia a bit.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and combine. Add chocolate chips and stir again until mixed.

Pour batter onto hot skillet/griddle by 1/4 cupfuls and cook until lightly browned on each side. Enjoy!

About

This morning my kids wanted pancakes for breakfast, so I decided to try something a little bit different. I had a recipe from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for pancakes that *rock!*, so I adapted it for our family. I usually get too fussy about the thickness of the batter, getting enough leavening, etc. But today, I made a batch, made one adjustment, and just went with it. This recipe turned out to be the best gluten-free pancakes I have ever made (almost by accident)! My family loved them so much I ended up making a second batch. Lesson learned today: relax and just cook!

These pancakes have the perfect texture and flavor: a little crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and not too sweet. You can eat these with syrup, jam, honey, or with a little butter or nut butter. This recipe is straight forward: there is no filler starch or xanthan gum. Just simple ingredients and perfect pancakes!
