This was my first attempt at making something from scratch that is gluten-free. I did not have the all-purpose flour it called for so I used oat bran. I did not have xanthan gum either. I subbed applesauce in for the melted butter for a little healthier version and I added about 1/4 c (or less) of mini chocolate chips. I was skeptical because the batter was so grainy, but when they cooked the graininess was gone. My kids didn't even notice the difference between the way I normally make them. I would make these again.

Tried this with all-purpose GF flour and no rice flour. Also substituted stevia plus and molasses for the sugar. Texture is ok for GF, but I think I may try some buckwheat flour next time
