Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Teresa Ambra
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes are so chocolaty and mouthwatering. This is a wonderful gluten free version of Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Great for holiday or company breakfasts or anytime you get the urge for pancakes because they're not too difficult to make. You can use either gluten free or regular flour in the recipe and both ways turn out fantastic.

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or griddle
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten free flour (I prefer Cup4Cup)
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chocolate chips about 15-20 on each 5” pancake
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup for garnish (or use chocolate syrup)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Mix gluten free flour, milk, vanilla, canola oil, and egg with a whisk.
  • Pour batter into a heated griddle or pan that's been sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
  • Immediately drop about 15-20 chocolate chips into each pancake.
  • Press chocolate chips down with your finger (or a fork) into the pancake as well as possible.
  • This will prevent the chocolate chips from burning on the bottom when you turn the pancakes over.
  • Cook until bubbles appear and the pancake is almost cooked through.
  • Turn over and cook other side about a minute or two.
  • Remove to plate.
  • Keep warm.
  • To serve, place pancakes on plate.
  • Pour maple syrup over top.
  • Garnish with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Makes 5 pancakes 5” in diameter.

Notes

NOTE: Pressing the chocolate chips into the pancake batter in the skillet will prevent the chocolate chips from burning on the bottom when you flip the pancakes over.
 
 
NOTE: When I originally published this recipe in early 2013, Pamela's pancake and baking mix was the only gluten free flour available in grocery stores. It does not have the best flavor, nor is it one-for-one equivalence like most gluten free flours are today (2023). Even Walmart's Great Value brand gluten free flour has a better taste and works well in any gluten free recipe.
