Why does this recipe use so many different gluten-free flours?

The combination of gluten-free oat, brown rice, buckwheat, potato starch, and tapioca flour creates the ideal texture and structure for these pancakes.

What role does the ripe banana play in these pancakes?

The ripe banana adds natural sweetness, moisture, and helps bind the gluten-free ingredients, contributing to a fluffy pancake.

Can I mix the batter by hand instead of using a blender?

While you could, blending all the ingredients ensures a perfectly smooth batter without lumps, which is especially helpful with the various gluten-free flours.

What kind of oil should I use for cooking these pancakes?

The recipe suggests using unscented coconut oil for cooking, but any high-heat neutral oil suitable for pancakes would work.

What are some recommended toppings for these Chocolate Pancakes?

The recipe suggests garnishing with fresh berries and vegan Nutella for an extra decadent touch.

How to Prepare Chocolate Pancakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Toss all ingredients in a blender, blend until well combined.
Over medium heat, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter on a well-oiled pan. I use unscented coconut oil.
When bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, flip and cook it for a minute on the other side.
Garnish with berries & vegan Nutella, Enjoy!
