Gluten Free Strawberry Pancakes

When it comes to breakfast, I’ll be the first to admit I am a total pancake fiend. And while I do love have recipes I love (this almond one being one of them!) I’m always on the hunt for more. These strawberry pancakes are gluten free, dairy free, light and oddly decadent. 

Gluten free strawberry pancakes

Just like any other family, we love to indulge in pancakes for breakfast. They’re easy to whip up, simple and can be made to preference. 


However, baby bear and I eat pancakes two to three times per week. This means that any old box creation just won’t do.

If I’m going to be feeding my family pancakes so frequently, they’re most definitely going to have some nutrients in them! While gluten free isn’t a requirement in my house (though you can read more on how to rock a gluten free diet here) I find that gluten free recipes tend to rely on more nutrient dense flours and thus, I prefer them.

The strawberry pancake recipe below is an adaptation from an Oh She Glows (I think that’s where it’s from but to be honest I’m not sure). 

This recipe uses buckwheat and brown rice flours as its base not only making the pancakes gluten free but also keeping them extremely light.

And since we’re berry fiends in this house we opted for strawberry pancakes. Since we eat so many pancakes, I like to make a couple of batches and freeze them for busy mornings.

Pancakes are one of those breakfasts that we rarely rely on for busy mornings. But the truth is, they’re part of my make ahead breakfast roundup because they freeze so well.

That said, with these particular pancakes I find that you have to make the batches in separate bowls. If you simple double the batch in one bowl it doesn’t mix and firm up properly. I’m still not sure why, but it doesn’t work.

Since the arrowroot binds these pancakes, also make sure to mix completely so it can do it’s job. Otherwise it almost sinks to the bottom of the bowl and then the first few pancakes end up runny.

These gluten free strawberry pancakes make for both a quick as well as a nutritious breakfast and give both you and the kids a healthy, fueling start to the day. Plus… pancakes!

    I actually love buckwheat flour for making pancakes! And strawberries are in season now and I just can’t get enough! I’ve never used rice flour though, and I like that idea because the one thing about buckwheat is that it can definitely get heavy. Thanks!

      Buckwheat gets crazy dense sometimes so while I love it I find you have to really pay attention when using it. The rice flour helps keep them nice and light. As for strawberries… I could eat them all day lol
