How To Make Easy Gluten Free Pancakes

Update: I have made these easy gluten free pancakes even better using 3/4 Gluten Free Bisquick and 1/4 King Arthur’s pancake mix. I guarantee your pancake craving will be 100% satisfied. 

There are some things I have to have in my pantry. I love these things so much, I have a little series of posts called Paola’s Pantry. Today, I want to share with you my easy gluten free pancakes I make using gluten free Bisquick.

When we started eating gluten free, I searched long and hard for an easy gluten free pancake. So many pancakes in my cookbooks called for a long list of ingredients.

Growing up I was used to making pancakes with just a box of Hungry Jack and water. My mom taught me to make them in a skillet with a piece of melted butter, add the batter and voila! This is the pancake I have always known.

Gluten free pancakes are much different. It takes longer to cook the inside and a griddle is the only way I have had success making them. Even the color was a tough sell for my son. We have tried so many kinds that we came up with names like brown pancakes, hard pancakes and gooey pancakes.

Finding the Gluten Free Bisquick has brought us the closest thing to a real pancake I have found so far.

The ingredients are: Rice Flour, Sugar, Leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Xantham Gum.

These pancakes are so easy they call for just 4 ingredients: Bisquick, milk, oil, and egg. For our pancakes, I use non-dairy So Delicious coconut milk and I substitute the egg with 1/4 cup applesauce. I add 2 tablespoons of canola* oil or melt 2 tablespoons of non-dairy Earth Balance butter. I think the Earth Balance makes them even better.

**Update: This year I made it my mission to move away from canola oil and into something more healthy. I successfully use avocado oil in almost everything I make. 

I highly recommend my substitutions verses the directions on the box, I have tried them both ways to see the difference. Hands down, mine were better.

Another way we make our pancakes taste even better is to add a bit of Earth Balance and 100% maple syrup on top.

Pancakes have become a favorite Sunday morning breakfast for my family. I am so thankful to have found something easy and delicious. 

Also if you love these, you will love making my biscuits with Bisquick as well.
