Gluten-free Pumpkin Pancakes

Gluten-free pumpkin pancakes

To say that these are the best gluten-free pancakes I’ve ever had would be selling this stack short. I hesitate to ever make claims that something is “the best,” because taste is so subjective after all. But these (in my opinion) have to be right up there with the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten, gluten-free or not.

I made these the other day for Jack and my mom (who is in town visiting right now). After we tasted, my mom said “what’s that special flour you used? I’ll have to get some of that.”

“That flour” I used is Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix. I originally started using their flours because all of my gluten-free friends had recommended it to me. This baking mix worked perfectly in these muffins, but I have to say – pancakes with it really take the cake.

The way I feel about gluten-free baking is that it’s easier to buy one great mix than to try to combine 4 (or more!) types of flour. The folks at Pamela’s have worked out all of the ratios for you, which I promise will save you failures, frustration, and the overall unpleasant-ness of eating gritty-falling-apart baked goods. These pancakes are not only cohesive, but also light, fluffy, moist and, delightfully pumpkin-y.

    I very recently became GF so I don’t have a favorite baked good yet, but I would absolutely love to get back into baking with these products!

    This recepie is amazing! I usually don’t like the texture of most panckake mixes but the Angela’s one tops the other brands. I’ll be making more pancakes tonight!
    Thank you for sharing this gem with the rest of us.
    ( I try most of your recepies, and they are delicious! Great job!)

    I’d love to try this recipe because I definitely have had frustrating times with bad ratios and subpar results. I’d also love to try gluten-free pizza crust or banana bread!

    THRILLED to try these pancakes … right now my favorite ‘gluten free’, nutrient rich ‘go-to’ is simply :: banana pancakes — an egg and half of a ripe mashed banana whisked together — then poured into a pan like a pancake. Looking forward to incorporating more gluten free recipes into our cooking/meal rotation. (LOVE your blog!!)

    I’ve heard great things about Pamela’s mixes. Think I’ll give these pancakes a try. Just made pancakes from Bob’s g/f pancake mix and well, yummy, but….these look more exotic and delicious.
    Thanks!

    These look delicious! My favorite gluten-free recipe is for pizza crust. My sister is gluten intolerant and we love pizza get togethers, so it’s a frequent flyer! Store bought, I love spelt pretzels. Perfect texture. They help me go through a lb. of homemade hummus per week 🙂

    Oh these look delish!!! I’m ready to bake gluten free, for myself and my loved ones!! I don’t have a favorite gf recipe, but this could be it! I’ve got to try these mixes, love that they are already combined for me. Can’t wait, it’s pumpkin time!

  13. Hello! I live in Boulder and my family from Detroit is coming to visit for Thanksgiving. It’s a difficult crowd, a mix of vegans and gluten free-ers. So I’ve been trying to figure out what I can make that will be an all around crowd pleaser. I will definitely have to try making these for breakfast!

    This recipe for pumpkin pancakes looks amazing. Since I do some baking for friends and one of them happens to have Celiac disease, I am always on the lookout for GF recipes that will be safe for her to enjoy and amazing for everyone else too!. My favorite recipe, so far, that I’ve baked has been brownies with Pamela’s GF brownie mix. My daughter said they were the best brownies she ever had. 🙂 I haven’t tried the other Pamela’s products yet, but I would love to!

    I am always looking for good gluten free alternatives as my cousin has Celiac’s and my bestie is GF. I haven’t tried this flour and would love to. My favorite recipe is my GF brownies made with honey and applesauce 🙂
