Ingredients

2 rounded tablespoons cornstarch water mixed with 3 tablespoons water
1 ¼ cups milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup multipurpose gluten free flour, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, using a spoon, mix together the 2 rounded tablespoons cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water until thin and watery. It will be thick and tacky at first.
Slowly whisk the 1 ¼ cups milk and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil into the cornstarch water until combined.
Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry, a little at a time until fully combined. If it gets too thick, switch to using a spatula.
There may be some lumps in the batter; that's normal.
Using a spatula, mix in the 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
Let the batter sit 5 minutes to thicken.
Turn on your stove top to medium heat. With your grill pan on top of your burner, carefully grease your pan with butter or a vegan baking stick.
I carefully use a paper towel to wipe off any excess.
Once the pan is warm add your pancake batter. I use a small cookie scoop and can usually fit 4 pancakes at a time. If you don't have a small cookie scoop, use a tablespoon.
I’ve found gluten free pancake batter doesn’t seem to bubble the way it does with regular pancake batter so after a few min, using a spatula, peek to see if the underside is golden brown. If it is, flip them and cook till the other side is also golden brown.
Once you flip the pancakes, they should puff up nicely. Cook till golden brown.

Notes

Vegan: Use a dairy-free gluten free flour, vegan sugar, dairy-free milk, vegan baking stick (to grease the pan) and vegan chocolate chips.

All Purpose Flour: I cannot test this due to celiac disease, but use 1 cup packed flour (168 grams) and 1 cup of milk.

Storing: Let the warm pancakes cool on a cooling rack so they don't get soggy on the bottoms. Once completely cool, wrap the pancakes individually in aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place one unwrapped pancake on a plate and microwave for 22-32 seconds until warm and soft. Be careful not to burn your mouth.

Freezing: Let the warm pancakes cool on a cooling rack so they don't get soggy on the bottoms. Once completely cool, wrap the pancakes individually in aluminum foil and pop in a zip top bag. Store in the freezer for up to 30 days. To reheat, place one unwrapped pancake on a plate and microwave for 20-40 seconds until warm and soft. Be careful not to burn your mouth.
