Our Fruity American Style Pancakes – gluten free, egg free, dairy free & vegan recipe!
None of us seem to fair very well on dairy and a couple of us feel veeeeeeery tired if we eat eggs and the little one needs to avoid gluten! So, we’ve revamped an American Style pancake recipe we found on-line ages ago to suit us all. They really are delicious and the kids help their Dad to make them every Sunday. They’re a very striking purple this week as there were frozen blackberries and blackcurrants in the mix.
Recipe:
250g Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour
1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
400ml Hemp Milk or Soya Milk
2 tbsp Rice Bran Oil (or any other flavourless oil)
300g Frozen Berries (thawed) OR 1 x Ella’s Kitchen Fruit Smoothie (e.g. The Purple One):
Whizz altogether and leave for just a few minutes to ‘do it’s thing’. They come out a bit fluffier then…
Lightly coat a frying pan with a flavourless oil (e.g. rice bran oil – it’s really good for you apparently!) and heat the pan up to a medium heat. They need a longer slower cook than conventional pancakes…
Add dollops of the (either pink or purple batter depending on which berries you use!) and heat until they appear dry on the upper surface and then flip them over and cook the other side.
Douse your american style pancakes with maple syrup and more berries (kids love their berries still frozen on top, weird creatures)!

I love anything with berries in it! I will eat frozen berries like candy right out of the bag. Thanks for linking up with us at #foodpornthursdays.
Oh, yes! This is doable for my family, too. I love the colours!

Thank you for popping by – you can add banana too but mostly we love them just packed full of berries 🙂
Thanks Vicki – dessicated coconut is a great one! Thanks for having me on your #tastytuesdays x
These look delicious! Love the idea of quinoa in there re your comment. I can’t eat nuts but like to add dessicated coconut to pretty much all sweet things for a protein hit! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays
These look lovely and tasty. I fancy a pancake now
Thank you so much for popping in and your lovely comment x
We have gluten and dairy-free pancakes every morning in our house because my daughter has coeliac disease and an intolerance to dairy. I add ground almonds to ours to make them super packed with protein and they keep my very hungry kids going until lunch…about the only thing that does! I love them with berries but the kids don’t so I just drop them in whole to mine while they are cooking. I have also been adding banana to mine but whizzing them into the mixture so there is no trace of them…only the lovely flavour! That way the little fuss pots will eat them! 😉
Hi Vicki – ooh yes, bananas and ground almonds are fabulous additions and yes, really good to add protein in for breakfast – thank you so much for suggesting! Other additions could also be coconut cream, quinoa and other ground nuts depending on other intolerances / likes / dislikes.
These look fab and not at all bad for you – perfect #tastytuesday
Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for commenting – it’s also a great way to eat a pile of delicious fruit first thing in the morning! I’m loving #tastytuesdays.
Thank you so much and yes I’ll do that. What a fab idea x
They look delicious, we stay away from wheat and dairy is limited too, will try these. I run #tastytuesdays on a Tuesdays, a food linky for recipes, restaurant reviews and food competitions so do link up with this if you fancy it, V
