INGREDIENTS
Have you ever thought of pancakes as healthy? Me either. To be honest, they have always been a Sunday morning treat! However, my pancake mix contains ingredients that are not only easier to digest, but also have numerous health benefits! Check it out.
INGREDIENTS IN GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH PANCAKES
1. Gluten Free Pancake Mix
My Gluten Free Pancake Mix is super easy to whip up in 3 simple steps! Check it out here.
This pancake mix is a blend of gluten free whole grain flours, starchy flours, binders & leavening agents. I’ve included many options for each so that this pancake mix can fit your specific dietary needs!
In fact, this pancake mix is so easy that my 10 year old daughter whips it up on her own! You’re going to love the fact that kids can use this pancake mix to easily make either regular gluten free pancakes or these gluten free sourdough pancakes!
2. Wet Ingredients
- Gluten Free Sourdough Starter
- You can use any Gluten Free Sourdough Starter for this recipe. It can be either discard or active (recently fed or replenished) starter!
- If you are looking to make a gluten free sourdough starter I’ve got you covered! Please check out my easy to follow video guide that will walk you through all you need to know to get started today!
- Milk (or alternative of choice)
- I use 3% Dairy milk but any plant based milk is equally as delicious!
- Butter (or plant based alternate)
- I use butter made from the milk from grass fed cows, but any plant based alternate is equally as delicious!
- Maple Syrup
- I love using pure Canadian Maple Syrup in my pancakes, however, you can also use honey or agave syrup as a substitute.

HOW TO MAKE FLUFFY & DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH PANCAKES
- Mix up your Gluten Free Pancake Mix (or grab some if you’ve pre-mixed it like I always do).
- In a large pot, warm the milk, butter & maple syrup until the butter is fully melted. Make sure it is just slightly warm & not hot! If to hot it will kill the active yeast culture in your sourdough starter which will prevent your pancakes from rising!
- Add Sourdough Starter & mix well.
- Add 200g of Gluten Free Pancake Mix & whisk well to create a smooth batter.
- Next, heat your griddle nice and hot (375°F) but not too hot or it will burn your pancakes!
- Let batter rest for 5′ to thicken. Add a little more milk if too thick after resting. NOTE: Don’t stir your batter any further or you will lose all of the lovely bubbles! This is what makes your pancakes fluffy!
- Lightly oil griddle if needed (I don’t need to with mine) and scoop out about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until 1st side shows bubbles on top and edges are slightly dry, then flip and cook for about 1-2 mins until done.
Enjoy these fluffy, delicious gluten free pancakes hot! I always serve with a blueberry compote (recipe coming soon) and greek yogurt. YUM! Enjoy!
FAQ
HOW TO STORE, FREEZE & REHEAT GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES
Fantastic Lunch: My children LOVE these pancakes as a treat lunch for school. Simply wait until the cooked pancakes are cooled, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. My kiddos eat them cool with a drizzle of maple syrup & fresh fruit.
Reheat: simply warm up on a frying pan, griddle or in the microwave until warmed.
Freeze: Once cooked pancakes are cooled, store in an airtight container & freeze for up to a month.
Thaw: simply take out of the freezer & reheat or let pancakes come to room temperature on the counter then reheat.

This Thanksgiving we took a quad batch of the pancake mix to Austin. Fed both daughters, their husbands and 4 grand kids. Everyone loved the pancakes! After we got home a text message came in saying “those pancakes really have a good flavor!” Looks like we’ll be using our discard every Saturday for TurmericMeCrazy pancakes! When we go back down for Christmas we’ll be taking a double quad batch! Thanks for helping us add a new gluten free meal to our weekly menu.
Hi Kirby! How wonderful it is to hear this feedback! You are so very welcome. I am just thrilled that everyone loves them as much as we do! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
So Good !! I have hard time making pancakes this perfect that are plant based. Yours are the best! Thanks for sharing!
I messed up and used salted butter.. even at 2g in the flour mix, they were wayyyyy too salty. Slathered with peanut butter and ganash and cherries, all better!
I’m so happy to hear you loved them! Thank you so much for your kind review ♡
