Gluten-free pancakes for Fat Tuesday

by Nicole Weston, Posted Feb 20th 2007 @ 4:33PM

Our pancake roundup this morning only included eight delicious recipes that were sure to tempt just about everyone to get out their frying pan and make up a batch. But as tempting as they may have been, most of the recipes presented there would not be good choices for gluten-free eaters because they were almost all flour-based. In fact, most pancake recipes are. Fortunately, there happen to be a lot of equally delicious gluten-free pancake options out there that ensure everyone who wants to can celebrate Fat Tuesday (a.k.a. National Pancake Day).

The easiest GF option is a pancake mix. Jay used Kinnikinnick Pancake Mix to make the lovely stack pictured above. There are many mixes out there to choose from, including Bob's Red Mill, which is widely available at Whole Foods Stores.

If you want to make your own, try using an alternative flour, as was done in these Rice Flour Crepes or Almond Flour Pancakes. You can find several more GF pancake recipes here, which use buckwheat, quinoa, potato flour and other gluten-free bases.

[Thanks for the reminder, Jay!]

Excuse me if my slightly-addled and confused brain seems to be doing its own job, but wouldn't flour-based anything be *bad* for gluten-free people?

Kinnikinnick pancake mix is fantastic! It makes deliciously tender, tasty, moist pancakes. Even "wheaties" we've introduced to KK pancakes agree that they are preferable in texture to regular pancakes.
