_{Keywords: gluten-free pancake recipe healthy breakfast ideas berry pancakes easy gluten-free recipes}

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (look for a blend that includes xanthan gum)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
• 1 large egg (or egg replacement for vegan version)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free version)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), washed and dried
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more buttermilk.
4. If using berries, gently fold them into the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
6. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the gluten-free berry pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
