Once you taste these homemade gluten-free pancakes, you’ll wonder how you ever settled for the regular boxed kind.

Is this Pancakes Recipe Vegan?

Traditionally, pancakes are not vegan, as eggs and dairy milk are used to create the batter.

Of course, our fluffy pancakes are vegan! We make these gluten free pancakes with banana instead of eggs to bind the pancakes, and almond milk instead of dairy. Delicious.

Are these Pancakes Gluten-Free?

Yes! We make these gluten free pancakes with almond flour and oat flour instead of regular flour, which makes them entirely gluten free.

Always be sure to check the label of your oat flour to ensure it is certified gluten-free. Oats are often processed using the same equipment as wheat, and therefore cross contamination can occur.

What are Gluten-Free Pancakes Made Of?

We make these gluten free pancakes with almond flour, bananas, and almond milk!

Here’s the full shopping list for everything you need:

• Bananas
• Almond milk, unsweetened
• Vanilla (powder or extract)
• Date sugar (or raw cane sugar for lighter color)
• Baking powder
• Almond flour, blanched
• Oat flour
• Virgin coconut oil, melted
• Salt

How to Make Gluten-Free Pancakes

Start by adding the bananas, almond milk, and vanilla to a blender, and blend until smooth.

Then add the date sugar, baking powder, and salt, and whisk again. Next, add the almond flour and oat flour, and whisk again. Finally, add the melted coconut oil a little at a time, while continuing to stir the batter.

Note that if the oil hardens once it’s in the mixture due to other cold ingredients, the pancakes won’t fry properly. So make sure the oil is melted as a liquid, and be sure to pour in a little at a time while stirring the batter.

To cook your pancakes, heat a lightly coconut-oiled pan over a medium-high heat. Use a ¼ cup to scoop and pour the batter onto the griddle, browning each side.

Serve hot! Top with fruits, seeds, or whatever you’d like, along with some fresh maple syrup. 🤤

FAQ

How Long Do Gluten-Free Pancakes Last?

Leftovers? Yep, they happen! Luckily, these pancakes will last for up to around 3 days in the fridge when stored in an air-tight container.

When you are ready to eat them, simply reheat them in the microwave or toaster oven, or throw them back in the frying pan.

Can You Freeze Gluten-Free Pancakes?

We prefer these pancakes fresh from the frying pan, but if you want to store them for longer, then you can freeze them!

First, allow them to cool completely, then flash freeze them individually. When they are frozen, place the pancakes into a freezer-proof bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When you are ready to eat the pancakes, thaw them in the fridge and reheat in the microwave, toaster oven, or frying pan.

Are Gluten-Free Pancakes Healthy?

It’s difficult to describe pancakes as a health food (especially if you use as much maple syrup as us!), but these pancakes are considerably healthier than those you’d find served in most diners.

Gluten free pancakes with banana will always be healthier than pancakes made with egg, as bananas have more fiber with less cholesterol and saturated fat.

Meanwhile, almond milk also ensures there are no animal hormones or antibiotics in this recipe – because who wants those things in their pancakes?!

As always, enjoy these kinds of foods in moderation and you will enjoy a healthier lifestyle! 🙂
