Why add banana to gluten free pancake batter?

Bananas are a great way to add sweetness and flavor to gluten free pancake batter. They are also a good source of fiber and vitamins, which can help to improve the texture and make them more nutritious.

What makes a gluten free vegan pancake fluffy?

There are a few key things that make a fluffy pancake. Firstly, you need to use the right type of gluten free flour. For gluten free pancakes, we recommend using a light gluten free flour blend. 

Make sure your baking powder is fresh – this will help the pancakes rise and be nice and fluffy. 

The right amount of liquid is essential – too much and the pancakes will be dense and heavy. Too little, and they will be dry and crumbly. 

The pancakes should be cooked on medium heat to cook evenly without burning. 

Finally, if you want extra fluffy, moist pancakes, add some melted vegan butter or oil to the batter before cooking.
