Gluten-free Pumpkin Pancakes

Gluten-free pumpkin pancakes

To say that these are the best gluten-free pancakes I’ve ever had would be selling this stack short. I hesitate to ever make claims that something is “the best,” because taste is so subjective after all. But these (in my opinion) have to be right up there with the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten, gluten-free or not.

I made these the other day for Jack and my mom (who is in town visiting right now). After we tasted, my mom said “what’s that special flour you used? I’ll have to get some of that.”

“That flour” I used is Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix. I originally started using their flours because all of my gluten-free friends had recommended it to me. This baking mix worked perfectly in these muffins, but I have to say – pancakes with it really take the cake.

The way I feel about gluten-free baking is that it’s easier to buy one great mix than to try to combine 4 (or more!) types of flour. The folks at Pamela’s have worked out all of the ratios for you, which I promise will save you failures, frustration, and the overall unpleasant-ness of eating gritty-falling-apart baked goods. These pancakes are not only cohesive, but also light, fluffy, moist and, delightfully pumpkin-y.

    Your posts always make me the hungriest! My favorite homemade gluten free baked good has to be Green Kitchen Stories’ oat and ginger crisp cookies. I have been making them almost weekly here and eating the whole batch in a day (they are basically oatmeal, right??).

    I haven’t made many gluten-free baked goods, but I’m a pancake fiend and these look unreal! I would be super excited to try these mixes.

    My favorite gluten-free recipe is that of what I like to call my “everything cookies.” They’ve usually got chia seeds, coconut oil, oats and oat flour (pulverized oats), almond butter, chocolate chips, pecans, almond flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, baking soda, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, but I like the idea of mixing and matching different spices, nuts, and chocolate types to suit whatever is on hand. It sounds a little complicated, but these are all ingredients that can almost always be found in my kitchen. The best part is that they are not only gluten-free but vegan too!

    These pancakes look amazing! My mom has Celiac disease and I would love to make them for her. I am a big fan of GF lemon-ginger cookies that I make for her.

    I love gluten-free cinnamon rolls using rice flour/tapioca flour, and a mess of other ingredients. I have had a hard time finding a ‘mix’ that works, but would love to try out these! Gluten-free isn’t an option for me, so finding something that is quicker and tastier would be amazing! Look forward to trying these pancakes!
