Nutty Irishman St. Pat's Pancakes

The classic after-dinner coffee in a (gluten-free) pancake! This treat has coffee, cocoa, almond extract and vanilla for a rich but not-too-sweet new take on a classic.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (or hazelnut if you can find it… I couldn’t… sniff…)
  • 1/2 cup fine unsweetened cocoa (I used Ghirardelli)
  • 4Tbsp sugar (I used sucanat)
  • 2 cups gluten-free pancake mix (Bob’s Red Mill or I used equal parts tapioca, oat, white rice and sorhgum this morning)
  • 1/2 tsp xantham gum (if NOT using a premixed pancake mix)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. Now I did this in a blender, because I was anticipating making it at my boyfriend’s apartment or my dad’s house, and they both have those and not other methods of equipment. You could also do this in a bowl on a standing mixer or with a hand mixer. The blender method was affective and did make pouring the pancakes easier, but I did get mix all over my white kitchen cabinets. It was funny.
  2. In a saucepan combine melt butter. Then add coffee and milk and heat on low until warmed.
  3. Whisk in the cocoa until combined completely.
  4. Pour in liquid measuring cup and set aside to cool.
  5. In a medium bowl, sift together remaining dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt).
  6. In a large bowl or blender, beat eggs until a tiny bit frothy. Then slowly add the liquid ingredients (retain about 1/4 cup) and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time until incorporated.
  7. If the batter is a bit too thick, add remaining wet mixture.
  8. Let stand while you heat your cooking instrument (I used a griddle that covered two burners).
  9. Now, these will brown more easily than other pancakes, so I recommend heating the surface well and then turning down the heat and letting it cool a tad.
  10. Bake on both sides until fluffy. This made me 14 small pancakes.
