I love pancakes! Whether it's breakfast, brunch are a sweet snack, they're my go-to. Here's my favourite recipe for fluffy gluten-free pancakes - quick to make and super satisfying!

What You'll Need

For these pancakes, you'll need a few basic ingredients:

  • Gluten-free flour (I use Pamela's, as it works well as a 1-to-1 substitute for regular flour)
  • Baking powder
  • Salt and sugar
  • Butter, eggs, and oil
  • Your favorite toppings (check out the ideas below!)

Why Pamela's Gluten-Free Flour?

I like to use Pamela's gluten-free flour because it's available in my area and performs well in a 1-to-1 swap for traditional flour. It makes gluten-free baking a breeze! I found mine at Save-on-Foods.

Making the Perfect Pancake Batter

This batter is easy to put together. Just combine the ingredients and mix until the batter is thick (avoid over-mixing for the fluffiest pancakes!).

Tips for Pancake Success

  • Mix gently: Over-mixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Rest the batter: Let it sit for a minute before cooking.
  • Look for bubbles: Tiny bubbles on the pancake's surface mean it's ready to flip!

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat up a small amount of oil in a frying pan on medium heat, then add the batter. I cover the pan with a lid to help cook the pancake evenly.

Flip the pancake once bubbles appear on the top and cook the other side until golden brown.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add eggs and mix, then add the melted butter. Gradually pour in milk, stirring until you reach a thick batter consistency.
  4. Let the batter rest for 1 minute.
  5. Heat a frying pan on medium and add oil before pouring in the batter.
  6. Cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles form on the top, then flip and cook the other side until golden.

Topping Ideas for Pancakes

  • Classic: Butter, maple syrup, pancake syrup, Golden syrup, granulated sugar, icing sugar
  • Sweet: Chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, fruit jam, berry sauces, bananas, berries, mini marshmallows
  • Savory: Nuts, nut butter (peanut, almond), lemon juice

What are your favorite pancake toppings? I love butter with maple syrup or butter, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of sugar.
