The Best Gluten Free Pancake Recipes

We love all breakfast foods in my house, from savory breakfast sandwiches to sweet honey buns. But there’s one breakfast dish that we just can’t get enough of – pancakes. Traditional buttermilk pancakes, perfectly spiced pumpkin pancakes, sweet chocolate banana pancakes…it doesn’t matter. We love them all.

Before my gluten free days, I was pancake-obsessed. Many Sunday mornings were spent at various Jersey diners digging into a stack. So you know I couldn’t give that up when I went gluten free!

That’s why we’ve tried pretty much every gluten free pancake recipe out there and today I’m sharing with you our very favorites. These recipes make the very best gluten free pancakes you’ll ever try – soft, fluffy, and each one made with just a few ingredients.

Tips for Making Pancakes

Each of these recipes below has some specific tips and tricks but in general, here are a few things to keep in mind when making pretty much any pancake recipe.

Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can lead to dense pancakes so to keep them light and fluffy, mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Measure ingredients carefully. Be sure carefully measure the ingredients, especially the dry ingredients like flour, as using too much or too little can easily affect the texture of the pancakes.
How to tell when to flip pancakes. Before flipping pancakes, the bottom should be set and slightly golden. Bubbles will appear on the top. You can use a spatula to peek under the pancake to make sure the bottom is fully set, then flip.
Keep the pancakes warm. You’ll likely need to cook the pancakes in several batches, so to keep the rest warm I like to place them on a plate in an oven preheated to the lowest temperature. You can also just place them on a plate and cover the plate with a lid, depending on how many you are making.
