HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES
Gluten-Free breakfasts were quite a struggle in our home. We love sourdough waffles, and my daughter loved those premade waffles and pancake treats you can buy in the freezer section. Neither of those are gluten-free and both would make my daughter extremely sick. So, we have made a lot of eggs, which is not her favorite, and hash browns with sausage. We really needed a switch up. This recipe is actually primarily my daughters’ creations, she used it for her little heart waffle maker. I took it and actually lowered the sugar content and switched a few things around and created delicious gluten-free pancakes.
They are still on the sweeter side, and I can eat them without any syrup. They almost taste like the premade pancakes you can buy in the freezer aisle, which is why it is one of her favorite things to whip up. We like to make a homemade fruit syrup to pour on top of our gluten-free pancakes. These also freeze extremely well, so if you make a double batch, you can freeze the leftovers for those busy mornings.
FREEZING GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES
If you are just starting out cooking from scratch meals for every meal, I have tip for you. Make extra! Almost any meal you make you can make extra and freeze the leftovers. We do this with soups, cooked meat and you guessed it pancakes. For pancakes all you need to do is let them cool completely, I mean no warmth at all. It would be great if you could put them on a cooling rack. Once cool place in a freezer bag and pop in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, take out how many you want and heat them up. We don’t own a toaster right now, so I just put on a piece of foil in the oven. They will defrost and heat up as the oven preheats to 400 degrees and then I turn off the oven when done.

Sourcing Bulk Ingredients
Most of my ingredients I try to source in bulk. I do enough cooking and baking from scratch that it is more cost effective for me to purchase in bulk. If you are interested in building your pantry on a budget, I highly suggest checking out Azure Standard. I can order from them once a month if I want to, which I don’t need to do that. I then meet a semi-truck at a specific drop location. Everyone purchasing helps unload all the product for that drop and then we take our goods and head home. I have saved so much money this way.
I also have a great source for vanilla beans and make my vanilla extract and vanilla sugar in bulk. If you have not started to purchase in bulk, I highly suggest you start. Take the time to do a price comparison, especially on spices and flours. Now let’s get to the recipe…
