The Ultimate Rice Flour Pancakes - Light and Delicious
Make fluffy pancakes with rice flour instead of traditional wheat flour pancakes. This easy-to-follow, simple recipe makes a stack of golden brown Rice Flour Pancakes worth waking up for.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs together until frothy.
Whisk in the milk and coconut oil.
Whisk in the coconut sugar, sea salt, baking soda, and brown rice flour. Stir until just combined and most lumps are gone.
Cover with saran wrap and leave at room temperature for an hour or so (could be left overnight in the fridge as well).
Spray a large, heavy-bottomed pan with your cooking spray, or add butter over medium heat. Scoop 1/8 cup portions of batter into the pan for small pancakes. I fit three pancakes in the pan per batch.
Once the sides are set and the top has bubbled, flip them over. These cook quickly. About 1-2 minutes per side.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Serving Suggestions and Substitutions:
Only add your batter to the pan once it has fully and evenly warmed up over medium heat. This will ensure your batter doesn't soak up the oil and will give your pancakes those delicious crispy edges.
Don't be tempted to flip your pancakes too soon. Be patient and wait for the airbubbles to pop up. Flipping too soon will cause your pancakes to deflate so for optimum fluffiness flip only once.
Use a wide surface. I use a large nonstick ceramic skillet but a griddle is also ideal for cooking pancakes. You want enough room for your batter to spread out and space to maneuver your spatula when you flip your pancakes.
Feel free to substitute whatever milk you prefer in this recipe. I use almond milk to keep this a dairy-free meal. Oat milk and hemp milk also work well.
Top with maple syrup and a pat of butter.
Add blueberries, dark chocolate chips, nuts for crunch, ripe banana, a little vanilla extract, and more. Add your favorite fresh fruit and get creative with the presentation with your rice flour pancake.
Top with a tbsp of your favorite nut butter for added protein.
