Copycat "McGriddle" (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Author: 
Serves: 2 McGriddles
 
Ingredients
  • Pancake:
  • ¾ cup (90g) oat flour - highly recommend weighing the oat flour!
  • 1 (HEAPING) tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1½ tbsp maple syrup (we used sugar-free)
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • Filling
  • 2 slices vegan American cheese (I used daiya)
  • 2 slices thick smoked ham
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Pancake Batter: In a bowl, mix the oat flour, salt and baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, applesauce. maple syrup, vanilla and milk together.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until ONLY JUST COMBINED. The less you mix the batter, the thicker and fluffier it will be.
  4. Set aside for 10 mins to allow batter to thicken.
  5. Filling: Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a small pan (6" inch) over low heat. Spray with a little oil. Once hot, pour half the eggs imix and cook on low heat. Cover for a minute WITHOUT flipping.
  7. When eggs are no longer runny and cooked through, fold two sides of egg towards the center. Then fold the top bottom to form a rectangular shape. Set aside. Repeat the process for the rest of the batter.
  8. Clean the pan, and sear the ham in both sides until golden. Set aside.
  9. Cooking the pancake: Check the pancake batter, the consistency should be thin enough to spread but not runny. If it is too thick you can add 1-2 tbsp of milk.
  10. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warm, spray a little oil in your pan.
  11. Turn down the heat to med-low, and ladle ¼ cup of batter into the pan. Cook for about 3 mins or until you see the edges setting and bubbles forming in the center.
  12. Flip to the other side cook for 2-3 minutes. Repeat until you finish the batter - it should make 4 pieces.
  13. Assemble: Make a sandwich - Pancake, then Cheese, Egg, Ham and lastly aPancake. If you like your cheese slightly melted you can heat one pancake on the pan, and place your cheese on top to let it melt before assembling with the remaining toppings.
  14. Drizzle more maple syrup if desired when serving.
