Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes

The words “classic” and “gluten free” don’t usually get put together. But, all that has changed ever since I made this gluten free pancake recipe!

So many households have food allergies and/or intolerances (our house has a few), and it’s not always easy to find substitutes that taste as good as the original. Luckily, there are some companies out there that are working to change that.

President’s Choice is one of them. The first time I used their gluten free flour, I was blown away by how similar it is to regular all-purpose flour. I’ve used it in these freezer power pancakes and vegan gluten free waffles, as well as these gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins. I’ve been wanting to try it out with buttermilk pancakes, and I am thrilled with the results!

I have used other gluten free flour-based products in the past, and their texture and taste were just…off. The President’s Choice gluten free flour isn’t! I promise. These are some of the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever tasted!

I decided to use coconut oil in this gluten free buttermilk pancake recipe as I love to use it in baking. When it’s mixed with vanilla it smells amazing! I was so impressed with the end result.

Why You’ll Love This GF Pancake Recipe

How to Make The Best Gluten Free Pancakes

Prep

Before you get started, preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. This will keep the pancakes warm as you work in batches.

Combine the Ingredients

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract together. 

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, then stir until well-combined.

Cook

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add ¼ cup of the gluten free pancake batter to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and place them in the warm oven while you finish the rest. Serve with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your topping of choice!

Frequently Asked Questions about this Gluten Free Pancake Recipe

Why Does My Gluten Free Pancake Recipe Turn Out Rubbery?

The key is not overmixing the batter! Make sure to mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately.

Then, when you combine them, mix the batter until well incorporated — but don’t overdo it. It’s normal to have a few small lumps in the batter. You’ll get a wonderfully light and fluffy GF pancake recipe every time.

Can I Replace All-Purpose Flour With Gluten Free Flour?

You typically can! This gluten free buttermilk pancake recipe uses GF flour on a 1:1 ratio. Most baking recipes will call for the same ratio, but make sure to double-check before you get started.

  1. Now I want breakfast for dinner! We are fortunate to not have food allergies. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday. We hope you’ll come to the new party. We’re celebrating our anniversary with a big Giveaway.

  2. These are so yummy!!!  We don’t have Presidents Choice around here, so I used Trader Joe’s GF AP flour.   I also poured them in the waffle maker!!  Perfect waffles, almost doughnut elephant ear-like!!   Thanks for sharing!

  3. How many calories would this be!?!?

    • Hi Danielle,

      I’m not quite sure but if you plug the ingredients into MyFitness Pal you’ll get a #. I didn’t do a calorie count for this recipe.

  4. Is PC available in the US? I live in Utah. Where would I find it? I looked at their website and it doesn’t let you buy from them. Thanks

  5. I couldn’t find that brand where I live. I found Bob’s Mill and it came out runny.
