Nothing quite says the weekend like serving up a super fluffy stack of pancakes for breakfast. Piled high with your favorite toppings and smothered with a healthy dose of maple syrup. I have been working on a paleo-friendly pancake for the past few years that rivals my regular (glutinous) pancake recipe which make on the regular for my husband. And I’m so happy to finally say that this recipe finally delivers!
I use nut milk (usually homemade almond) and mix it with some fresh lemon juice to create a dairy free “buttermilk”. Then add an egg (or a flax egg/egg replacer if you’re vegan), a few dry ingredients and viola! Pancake batter is ready. I always always mix this up in my 2 cup pyrex measuring cup, that has a spout and handle so I can mix the batter and pour it into the pan in just one dish! Gotta love a good shortcut to less dirty dishes, especially on the weekend!
These pancakes are gluten, grain, and dairy free, but really taste delicious and are oh so fluffy. This recipe makes about 4-5 pancakes, which, if you’re asking me really serves one person for a hearty breakfast. Two people if you’re keeping things light or having it with other dishes. But this recipe is easy to double, or triple (!), if you’re feeding a crowd! And really, this recipe is so easy you could easily make this during the week if you’re looking to make an extra awesome to start your day!
