Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 2/3 cup gluten-free oat flour - This adds a mild flavor and a great texture.
  • 2/3 cup almond flour - Provides a nutty taste and moisture.
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch - Helps bind the ingredients and gives the pancakes a chewy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder - Essential for that fluffy rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt - Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or almond milk - Adds moisture; choose almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup - Natural sweetener that complements the pancakes beautifully.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - Adds a lovely aromatic flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk (or almond milk), maple syrup, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to over-mix.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, being careful to maintain the fluffiness.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve your pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy the fluffy goodness!

Notes

  • Ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if you have severe gluten intolerance.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
  • For a flavor twist, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
