IMG_6947

My sister gave me this recipe a while ago and it is so yummy! I converted it to be gluten free with vegan options if your diet requires dairy free, egg free and/or vegan options. I hope you like it!

2 1/2 c. gluten free flour blend (I like this one: http://amzn.to/T0hi09)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter or nondairy butter alternate
2 eggs (alternately use 2 Tbs. flax meal mixed into 6 Tbs. water–allow to sit until it becomes gel-like)
1 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 c. dried cranberries
1 c. good quality white chocolate (optional), chopped or in chip form 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Fluffy Pancakes

pancakes

I posted this photo of the fluffy gluten free pancakes that I made, and I was met with responses ranging from “I LOVE pancakes!” to “fluffy AND gluten free?? I don’t believe you!” I used a gluten free flour blend (http://amzn.to/1hNi1Z3) since it seems like a lot of people tend to think blends are easier to cook with and I was pleasantly surprised. This recipe is adapted from one I found on Allrecipes.com about a hundred years ago.

Pancakes:
1 c. milk or nondairy milk
2 Tbs. vinegar
1 c. gluten free flour blend
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg*
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
