Gluten Free Chocolate Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour ( GluFD Flour )
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative for a dairy-free version)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil for a dairy-free version)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4. If you like, fold in the chocolate chips.

5. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid.

6. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.

8. Repeat until all the batter is used.

9. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
