This 4th of July firework pancake breakfast will be enjoyed by those who are GF, and those who are not. We have found some gluten free store-bought pancake mixes to be decent. Some are better than others. This homemade, gluten free pancake recipe is easy to make, and our favorite thus far on our gluten-free venture.
Gluten Free Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 2% milk {almond milk can be substituted}
- 1/4 cup butter {4 tablespoons}
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup gluten free quick cooking oats, ground {we use a Magic Bullet to grind it}
- 1/2 cup Pamela’s gluten free flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, add the dry ingredients, including flour, ground up oats, baking powder, salt, sugar and flax seeds.
- In a separate medium bowl, add two eggs and whisk.
- Melt the butter in a pan on the stove with the milk until butter melts.
- Stir the milk and butter into the eggs and whisk.
- Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more milk to make it a consistency you like.
- Pour and flip.
- To make the pancakes festive for July 4th, use a star cookie cutter to create star pancakes that can resemble fireworks.
- Spread butter on top, decorate your plate with blueberries and strawberries to make the stars look like fireworks, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and then pour maple syrup over the pancakes.
