Plus, making peanut butter pancakes adds extra texture and flavor to this popular breakfast dish.

This gluten free pancakes recipe rocks. I mean who doesn’t like peanut butter pancakes, especially when they are a little lighter that the traditional recipes? I do! They’re so easy to make and I bet that you have all the ingredients on hand. I usually make these 3-Ingredient Almond Flour Pancake Recipe but this last weekend, I decided to change things up.

How to make gluten free pancakes

Make these the same way as any other recipe – just mix up the batter, cook on the stove, and add your favorite toppings. It’s that simple!

INGREDIENTS

• Eggs
• Natural peanut butter – can use regular peanut butter if needed, or find substitutes below
• Vanilla extract
• Almond flour – find nut-free alternatives further down in the post
• Tapioca flour – this helps bind the batter in place of the gluten and makes them fluffy
• Baking powder
• Salt
• For cooking: butter, ghee, or coconut oil
• Topping ideas: maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the batter

1. Whisk together the wet ingredients until well combined.
2. Then, add in the dry ingredients and stir until there are no more streaks of flour.

Cook the pancakes

1. Next, melt the butter in a pan on the stove or heat a non-stick griddle.
2. Once hot, add a scoop of batter and cook until the top is covered in bubbles. Then, flip the pancake and cook for about 2 more minutes.
3. Continue with the rest of the batter until all of the pancakes are cooked.
4. Serve warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

Storage and reheating

Wrap leftover peanut butter pancakes in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These also freeze really well. Wrap individually and place in a freezer-safe ziploc bag. Store for up to 3 months and defrost in the refrigerator or on the counter.

Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until warmed through.

How can I make these pancakes nut free?

First, replace the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Then, use one of these other gluten-free options in place of the almond flour:

• Sunflower seed flour – it may create a green tint in reaction to the baking soda, but adding 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar should prevent that.
• Cassava flour – a newer option that is known for producing light and fluffy pancakes
• Oat flour – make your own by blending rolled oats into a fine powder.

What else can I substitute for the peanut butter?

If you don’t want to use sunflower seed butter, there are a few options you can use instead, such as:

• Sunflower seed butter – it’s the closest in texture and flavor to peanut butter.
• Almond butter – you may need to add a splash of milk if it’s extra thick.
• Cookie butter – this is nut free but not gluten free, so keep that in mind when dealing with allergies.

Can I add mix-ins to this pancake recipe?

Sure! Chocolate chips or chopped nuts would taste great with the peanut butter flavor and add some extra texture as well.
