Grain-Free Pancakes

Grain-free, w/ paleo option 💕

Just because you decide to go grain-free doesn’t mean you have to miss out on amazing food. It also doesn’t mean you have to spend hours toiling away in your kitchen. In fact, you can put these delicious grain-free pancakes together from scratch in under thirty minutes!! 🙂

Grain-Free Pancakes

This is a super simple, one bowl recipe and did I mention how fluffy these grain-free pancakes are?? We’re talking your favorite diner at 3am fluffy. And they aren’t too sweet, either– I like total control over the sweetness level, that’s why I omit sugar from the recipe and just add the amount of maple syrup I’m feeling on that particular day. We all have different sweet and savory needs, right? One more thing I want to mention–there is a dairy free option, just replace the milk with your favorite unsweetened milk substitute and swap out butter for a dairy-free alternative like “Earth Balance”. (Paleo option as well in recipe below).

Happy Weekend and enjoy the recipe!!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 3/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder (grain-free, I use Hain brand). Or 1/2 tsp baking soda for paleo version.
  • 1/4 teaspoon guar gum (Guar gum can be omitted for paleo version, just add an additional 1.5 tbsp of tapioca starch to the recipe).
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 3 Tbsp milk or unsweetened milk substitute (almond milk, coconut milk, etc)
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or dairy-free substitute (Earth Balance, ghee, coconut oil, etc).

Instructions

  1. Whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, guar gum and salt.
  2. Add milk, melted butter, apple cider vinegar and eggs to dry mix and combine thoroughly. Let the batter sit for one minute, it will thicken slightly on it’s own. Mix again.
  3. Lightly grease griddle or frying pan then pour about 1/4 of a cup of batter into the pan. Cook on medium heat. When little bubbles form on the surface, the pancake is ready to be flipped. Stack cakes and serve with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!!

  4. These were SO good and sll 3 of my kids approved! I’ve been cooking GF for years due to 2 of my kids’ sensitivities, and this is the best pancake I’ve found that works easily and mimics the gluten filled ones (and is very filling to the belly!) Thank you!

    1. Aw yay! I’m so glad to hear that!! 😀 We had the best pancakes ever in Seattle back when we could eat gluten, they were the super filling yet fluffy diner-style cakes- and I had those in mind when creating this recipe, so it’s music to my ears that you found them close to a glutenous version!!
