The Greatest Gluten-Free Pancake Recipes | Gluten-Free Foodee (2024)

by Elyse the Gluten-Free Foodee

This week is packed with special occasions, as Saturday was Lunar New Year, Sunday was the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day is Wednesday and Tuesday is Pancake (or Shrove)Tuesday. To help, we have compiled a list of the greatest gluten-free pancake recipes. This list is helpful all year round because everyone loves pancakes.

When I changed my diet, many years ago, I learned that not all pancake recipes can easily be made gluten-free. So, I turned to gluten-free pancake mixes and was bitterly disappointed with my first purchases. You can benefit from my trials and tribulations, as I have now perfected these recipes. Not to mention that this list of the greatest gluten-free pancake recipes has a boxed mix on it! Oh, and some French Toast recipes too, just so there is something for everyone.

Making pancakes is a wonderful idea for brunches, lazy Sundays, breakfast for dinner nights, and so much more. Know that you are going to want to try each of these gluten-free pancake recipes.

The Greatest Gluten-Free Pancake Recipes Honourable Mentions:

Gluten-Free Kinnikinnick Pancake and Waffle Mix:


Kinnikinnick is our favourite mix. Their mix makes light and tasty pancakes that do not need the addition of extra vanilla too- but adding extra flavour is never a bad thing. Learn more about this mix by reading our gluten-free Kinnikinnick Pancake and Waffle Mix review. A mix is a great option if you are short on time, or want a quick/easy meal.

The Best Gluten-Free French Toast Recipe:

In case you don’t enjoy pancakes or want a faster option, French Toast is a great substitute. Making French Toast with gluten-free bread has a little learning curve, and we have tips to help.

They can be made with drained blueberries or any other fruit, or chocolate chips; or they can be made savory, with chopped, cooked bacon, ham, or your favourite grated cheese.

Remember that while pure maple syrup is our personal favourite, many gluten-free syrup options are available to top any of these gluten-free pancake recipes.
