Gluten Free Pancakes
Gluten Free Pancakes combine a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend with sugar, baking agents, milk, and egg to create batter that cooks into golden pancakes. Optionally, fresh berries can be gently folded in for added texture and flavor. An optional coconut syrup made with sugar, coconut-flavored Greek yogurt, butter, and coconut extract complements the pancakes, enhanced by toppings like coconut flakes and fresh berries for variety in presentation and taste.
Ingredients
Gluten Free Pancakes Batter:
- 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend I like Namaste
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
Coconut Syrup (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 ounces Greek yogurt 1 small container, coconut flavored
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Additional Toppings (optional)
- coconut flakes
- Blueberry

- blackberry fresh
Instructions
For the Gluten Free Pancakes:
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Then stir in the milk and egg. If you are adding fresh berries, gently stir them in now.
- Line a griddle or skillet, over a medium-low heat, with some cooking spray. Fill a 1/2 cup measuring cup with the pancake batter, and then pour it on the hot griddle. Cook until golden brown and the first side, then flip and repeat.
- Serve with hot syrup and fresh berries.
For the Coconut Syrup (optional):
- Add the sugar, yogurt, and butter to a small saucepan over low heat. When the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up to medium high and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the coconut extract.
To serve:
- Top pancakes with the coconut syrup, fresh berries, and coconut flakes.
Notes
- Use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to maintain proper texture.
- The coconut syrup is optional but adds a creamy, coconut flavor that complements the pancakes.
- You can prepare a larger dry mix ahead and add the milk and egg when ready to cook, making pancake preparation quicker.
- Gently fold in fresh berries to prevent breaking and to distribute them evenly.
