  • Gluten-free and dairy-free using rice flour and coconut milk
  • Easy to customize with toppings or mix-ins

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour; 2 tbsp sugar (or preferred sweetener); 1 cup coconut milk; 2 tbsp coconut oil (plus extra for cooking).

Method

1) Whisk rice flour and sugar in a bowl. 2) Gradually add coconut milk, stirring until smooth and slightly thick but pourable; rest 5 minutes. 3) Heat a nonstick skillet over medium and brush with a little coconut oil. 4) Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake, cook 2–3 minutes until edges set and bubbles appear, flip and cook 1–2 minutes more. 5) Repeat with remaining batter; keep warm and serve.

Tips & Variations

For thinner pancakes add a splash more coconut milk. Fold in mashed banana or vanilla for flavor; add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. Cook over medium heat to avoid burning—rice flour browns faster than wheat.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead and reheat? Yes—cool completely, refrigerate up to 2 days, reheat in a skillet or toaster until warm.
What can I use instead of sugar? Replace with maple syrup, honey (if not strictly vegan), or a granulated sugar substitute; adjust amount to taste and batter consistency.
Are these suitable for a vegan diet? Yes—this recipe uses coconut milk and oil, so it is vegan and naturally gluten-free.
