Ingredients
Scale
For the Cinnamon Pancakes:
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup almond milk OR coconut milk
- 1/4 cup apple sauce
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil OR grapeseed oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Pear Maple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 small pear (diced)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, apple sauce, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine.
- Set a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat the pan for 3-5 minutes, or until its warm. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes for 5 minutes, or until the surface has evenly darkened in color , including the middle. Flop and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the pancake is firm, not squishy, when you poke the center. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
- While the pancakes are cooking. Add all the syrup ingredients into a pot. Cook, on low heat, until the syrup is warmed through.
- Serve pancakes topped with syrup and vegan butter, if desired.
Notes
Be sure to cook those pancakes low and slow on a preheated skillet. Gluten-free and vegan pancakes take longer to cook through than regular cakes. To prevent mushy and underdone pancakes, keep the skillet at a low temperature and let the pancakes really cook all the way through. It takes more time and patience, but the results are worth it!
