The Very Best Gluten-Free Pancakes

I recently found myself craving the absolute deliciousness known as pancakes, and was determined to find a gluten-free recipe that tasted just as delicious as the original kind. After doing a bit of researching and experimenting, I found one that is so delicious. I kid you not. I made these a few nights ago and Jana (who, I might add, does not normally eat gluten free) fell in love with them! They’re also vegan. :)

Eating gluten free may not be not the easiest thing in the world… but it’s certainly doable — at least it has been for me! Luckily it’s becoming increasingly easier to get access to substitute ingredients. I found every ingredient for this recipe right at Whole Foods!

Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free flour mixture*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon agave nectar

*The key to gluten-free baking is to mix up the types of flours you’re using, instead of using just one. This helps create a better overall taste and texture. I used a flour that was pre-blended — made from sweet brown rice flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, sorghum flour, and xanthan gum.

If you’re creating your own mixture, be sure to include xanthan gum as well. Here’s an excellent guide to gluten-free flours and starches done by Beth of Tasty Yummies!

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until well combined.

3. Heat a griddle or pan on your stove over medium heat, and cook the pancakes as you would normally!

4. Serve with whatever toppings you wish. I love topping mine with jusssst a bit of ghee, coconut oil, and sea salt. Then I drizzle over some more agave nectar and add fresh blackberries. Delicious!

This time around, I decided to make some mini pancake pops, as well! I just used some sticks that were left over from making these pressed flower lollipops. :)

So I had a terrible day at work and PMSing badly so in desperate need of a treat. I got home today and made these-it took all of 20 minutes and they have hit the spot!!!! I used spelt flour because I didn’t have gluten free and I made my own applesauce from a can of tinned Granny Smith apples

Rather than buying it ready made as I couldn’t find sugar-free options. Amazing thank you!!!
