The Fluffiest Gluten-Free Pancakes Made From Scratch
I had to look up the day on the calendar before saying, “Happy Thursday!” Life feels pretty strange lately, and all the little things we took for granted don’t seem so trivial anymore. I’m going to step out for a long walk around my neighborhood after hitting publish just to get some sunshine and check out what Spring is up to today. The word around the street is that the grass is green, and the trees have 70% leaf coverage. I do hope that this blog post brings you some delicious joy to your social distancing days. If it’s one thing we’ve loved during this time, it’s been eating these gluten-free made from scratch pancakes daily. It’s a recipe you’ll want to have on hand because it’s guaranteed to impress! There’s truly nothing better than whipping up homemade pancakes, especially ones that are crispy around the edges and fluffy in the middle! I bet you already have the ingredients in the house, too!
This recipe came about when Kyle and I wanted some pancakes for breakfast last Sunday while watching Little Women but didn’t have our go-to mix at home. Times are a little weird right now, so we couldn’t just hop in the car and pick it up. I decided just to whip up my recipe instead. I had made homemade pancakes plenty of times, but they were usually my protein, egg, and banana combo. I wanted these to taste fluffy, cakey, and well, like pancakes.
After playing around with the recipe for the past week, I finally have it nailed down. I know this sounds so cheesy, but I’m excited to make these pancakes on Sunday mornings in our new house 🥞 It’s the small things!
I’m the type of person that likes a recipe that doesn’t involve the electric mixer. I do love my mixer, but adding all the ingredients to a giant bowl and mixing is so much easier and less to clean up. For this recipe, all you need is Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Flour (this is my favorite gluten-free flour, and it never lets me down!) baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, one egg, nut milk, vanilla, monk fruit, and coconut oil.
The best part about this recipe is that you can customize it any way you want. I plan on making lemon blueberry pancakes, banana walnut, apple cinnamon, chocolate chip, and more! I did the blueberry ones last Sunday, and they were fabulous!
I sprayed the pan with some cooking spray, cooked the pancakes on medium-high for 4-minutes on each side!
They fluff up so high in the pan 😊 I’m searching for a new pancake skillet, so if you have a favorite, you’ll have to let me know in the comments. The one trick is never to flatten your pancakes while they cook with your spatula. I see people do this a lot, and it’s a big no-no.
A perfect stack! I like to make the recipe for two, but if you’re serving more people in the house, go ahead and double the recipe. You can never have too many pancakes.
Have you seen anything more beautiful? It’s the perfect stack!

Hi Taralynn, looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to try it.
One question, in the ingredients, you say Baking Soda, but in the instructions you say Baking Powder. Just need to know which it is before I make them.
Thanks
Hi, Via!
It’s baking Powder! 😊 I changed the typo! Thanks for catching that. xo
These look really delicious! Thanks for the recipe! ❤️✨

How many pancakes did this make?
about 7 large fluffy pancakes! (we ate the one not pictured 😃)
Hi! These look delicious ! I’m GF too! Can’t wait to try !
Wondering if you would mind sharing your journey to becoming GF on the blog ? (Maybe I’ve missed it !)
Xo
Thanks, Anne! Hope you enjoyed 🙂
I never made a blog post about it, but threw it into all the recaps throughout the years 🙂
Coconut oil goes in the batter?
Yes!
These look amazing, Taralynn! Can’t wait to give them a try soon!!
I hope you have the best weekend ahead!
Make Life Marvelous
Thank you!!!
Hi TL! These look delish. I made Ina Garten’s banana pancakes this morning, and I have to say it felt so right to have some comfortinng pancakes first thing!
For a griddle pan I use The Griddler! I’ve had mine for almost 10 years and its still great. You can use it as a flat griddle pan, or flip the cooking flat tops around and it becomes a panini/grill press! I use it for everything.
Looking forward to your next recap. The little things really help me feel normal. I hope you and your family are all well.
Hi, Abbey!
You can’t go wrong with an Ina Garten recipe! I love love love her!! ♥️ She has the most therapeutic show.
I’ll have to look into the Griddler! Thanks for sharing 😊
Hope all is well! The recap will be up today!! xo
Yumm !! I know what’s for breakfast tomorrow
Hope you enjoy!!!
I have always loved banana, blueberry, and pumpkin spice pancakes. We make pancakes almost every weekend in our house and those are some of the go to flavours depending on the season. We often put homemade whipped cream and fruit on them too.
You should make birthday cake pancakes with sprinkles, matcha, or oatmeal chocolate chip cookie flavours.
I would love for you to do another blog post about blogging! I have thought about it for years but sometimes feel like I’m not sure who would read my blog haha. I’d love more info about how to make money with a blog, how to gain followers, what website hosts you have used in the past, planning blog posts, etc. I love writing and connecting with people online so it’s always been a consideration of mine!
Hi, Courtney!
Yum! I’ll have to try adding homemade whipped cream on mine next time. What a great idea!!
ohhhh birthday cake ones would be fun!!
I definitely want to do that for sure! I have been putting together mini-blogs about it for the past five months, but it’s taking longer than I thought! Hope to have it done by summer!
I will have to pass this recipe on to my mom! She eats gluten free and is always looking for good recipes!
Questions:
1. What is the perfect pancake flavor?
I’m in a banana kick right now. I love all things banana! So chocolate chip banana? 🙂 Do you have a favorite?
2. Come up with a crazy pancake combo idea for me to try next!
Have you tried egg and banana? No flour so it is gf, but they’re becoming my favorite! (I have a recipe for them on my blog)
3. Any blog ideas for the next few weeks you’d like to see here?
I’m new here so I don’t know what has been done before, but I love to see DIY’s, projects, and always a good recipe!
Hi, Hannah!
Ohhhh your mom will love this then! ♥️
Banana is always good, but I’m a lover for blueberries!! 😋
OMG YES i lived off banana egg pancakes for the past 7 years 😂
& welcome to my blog!! I’m excited to check out yours. I can’t wait to start the DIY projects.
