Making recipes in the microwave is genius. Pure genius. Gluten Free Pancake in a mug is quick and easy to whip up, with all the tender, fluffy love that you get from ordinary pancakes. We made these gluten free because one of the family is GF, but you would never know it wasn't made with wheat flour. Here is the actual recipe:
4 TBSP gluten free pancake mix. I use Pamela’s Baking and Pancake Mix
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 TBSP coconut oil
Pinch of cinnamon and salt
3 TBSP maple syrup (for moisture and flavor, but substitute milk or water if needed)
Instructions
Spray a mug with nonstick spray and set aside.
Combine all ingredients and pour into mug.
Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
Invert onto a plate and top with your favorite toppings, or leave right in the mug for a portable snack. Be careful. The mug is going to be really hot! Some ideas beyond maple syrup and butter:
Cinnamon and sugar
Brown sugar and butter (a very old style pancake topper)
Nutella
Bits of breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon
This makes a great snack too. The only recommendation is if you have numerous little chefs waiting to cook theirs, things might get out of hand. Here are some more cool pancake recipes if you love pancakes as much as we do.
