Take weekend brunch to the next level, and serve up some fluffy and sweet low-FODMAP pancakes!
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
- 1 cup lactose-free cow's milk*
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 cup 1:1 gluten-free flour Use regular whole wheat flour if not sensitive to fructans
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 whole egg
- 2 Tbsp margarine, melted
- 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp neutral-tasting oil E.g. Canola, vegetable, or avocado.
Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl and stir. Let sit 5 minutes in order to create a homemade "buttermilk" that is slightly curdled. Trust me.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
After 5 minutes, add the egg, melted margarine, maple syrup, and vanilla to the buttermilk mixture. Stir until well combined.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and let the batter sit for 5 minutes until thick.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to drop batter into the pan, cooking two pancakes at a time.
Use a timer to heat the pancakes for 1 minute on each side, flipping halfway through. Repeat with remaining 8 pancakes.
*This recipe requires cow's milk, as vinegar causes the milk to become slightly curdled and more like a buttermilk consistency.
