Ingredients:

• gluten free flour - for this recipe you want to choose a gf flour mix that you know and trust. This recipe was made with Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour. I've also had good luck with King Arthur Measure for Measure. You can experiment with other flours but you may not get the same results
• baking powder - helps achieve that perfectly fluffy pancake (be sure to use a brand that is aluminum free)
• salt - balances out the flavors in the pancake
• milk - for this recipe I use whole milk - this recipe works well if you swap the milk out for your favorite plant based milk
• butter - we use unsalted butter in all of our recipes - a plant based butter works just fine in place of the butter in this recipe
• vanilla - I love a splash of vanilla in all of my pancake and waffle recipes
• eggs - for supporting that fluffy texture and structure in the pancake

How to Make Gluten Free Pancakes From Scratch:

1. Combine your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in your mixing bowl.
2. In a large measuring cup, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. This takes about 45 seconds in my microwave. Once the butter is melted, you'll add the milk to the butter and warm in the microwave for an additional 45 seconds. IMPORTANT: You want to be sure that the milk is warm enough that the butter is liquid and floating on the surface of the milk, but not so warm that it cooks the eggs when you combine them in the next step.
3. Add the vanilla extract to the milk and butter. Whisk the eggs into the milk and butter.
4. Add the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy which is good. If the batter feels too thick to you, add a splash of milk and mix again.
5. Warm your favorite frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Spray the pan with a little bit of canola oil or add a bit of butter to the pan. Make sure that the frying pan is nice and warm.
6. Once the pan is warm, use ¼ cup measuring cup to pour circles of batter onto the frying pan or griddle. When the middle of each pancake is bubbly and the edges look like they are beginning to cook, flip the pancakes and cook for an additional minute until cooked through.

Pro Tip:

To be sure that your frying pan is hot enough, first make a mini pancake. Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the frying pan. If it sizzles and begins to cook right away, your pan is ready. If you don't hear a sizzle and the batter just sort of sits there, spreading out, you know that your pan isn't ready to go yet.

Variations:

Gluten Free Blueberry Pancakes: sprinkle a handful of fresh blueberries onto your pancakes right after you place the batter on the hot griddle.

Dairy Free Gluten Free Pancakes: this recipe is perfect when made with your favorite plant based butter and milk. Just simply swap your butter for a vegan butter and the milk for almond or coconut milk. You may need to adjust the amount of milk - start with 1 ½ cups and add more milk as needed.

GF Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes: Follow our recipe for Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes but use the gluten free pancake batter.

Storage:

Storing the Uncooked Batter: Store any leftover pancake batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To make fresh pancakes, simply warm your frying pan and scoop batter directly from the refrigerator.

Freezing Cooked Pancakes: Lay pancakes flat on a cooling rack or sheet pan. Allow cooked pancakes to cool completely. Stack in a freezer safe container or bag and move to the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Reheat Frozen Pancakes:

Toaster or Toaster Oven: Warm pancakes in the toaster/toaster oven for 3-4 minutes - use a medium level of heat.

Oven: Warm at 350° for 3-4 minutes. I like to just place them on the open rack so that they warm and get a little crispy on all of the surfaces.

Microwave: Place pancakes in a single layer on a paper towel lined plate. Warm pancakes for 15-20 seconds. Check and add an additional 5-10 seconds until pancakes are warmed through.

Frozen Pancakes in Air Fryer: Use the reheat setting to warm your pancakes for 1-3 minutes. Check after 1 minutes and add more time as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do you make gluten free pancakes from scratch?

To make gluten free pancakes from scratch, swap out a high quality gf flour blend for all purpose flour. After you make the swap, follow the directions for a traditional American pancake recipe and you will have gf pancakes from scratch.

Do gluten free pancakes taste different?

Nope! Not this recipe!!! These pancakes have crispy edges, light and fluffy middles that are never gummy and the most distinguished pancake eaters will never even know that they are gluten free!

Which gluten free flours are best for making pancakes?

In general, I find that gluten free flour blends that are created for baking work best for making pancakes. I obviously love the Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour. That being said, I have also made perfect gluten free pancakes using King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour. You have to be willing to try a few to find the ones that you prefer. Each of the ones mentioned above will produce a light and fluffy gluten free pancake.
