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.
Pamela's Gluten-Free Flour - a perfect 1-to-1 substitute.

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!).
The pancake batter should be thick but smooth.
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.

Add the batter to a heated pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake once bubbles appear on the top and cook the other side until golden brown.
