Hi Jana – what kind of milk powder did you use? Make sure not to reconstitute it! When recipes call for powder, that’s what they mean. Also, make sure not to overwork the batter or it will get tough after cooking. You can also make the batter thinner or thicker depending on your preference by adding more or less liquid. Hope these tips help because these pancakes are delicious – you need to experience that!

i don’t know what i did wrong,but all my pancakes turned out gooey n the middle no matter if they were thin or thick-i tried it both ways. i was so frustrated making these. i have used another GF product that was pancake mix and it was awesome, i had no problems with it at all. so i don’t know if it was me or this recipe/mix that wasn’t working right but it gets a big thumbs down. so disappointed.

Awesome sleuthing, Cristine! Who knew there was guar gum in coconut milk?! Way to go!

I think I have figured out a way to not get these pancakes to not be gummy. I was following your recipe but they were coming out SO gummy. I think it was the Guar Gum in the Coconut milk causing the problem. This morning I substituted the (coconut – my son is GFCF) milk we use to 1/2 cup of Orange Juice and 1/2 cup of water. They came out so much better!!

Hi Sam, you could use almond meal or almond flour – that would work well in place of the DariFree, but some readers have skipped that ingredient altogether and been happy. I just like fluffy pancakes, so the DariFree or almond meal is a great way to fluff them up!

Super, Karen! So glad you loved them even without the DariFree! You just gotta have great pancakes on a weekend!

What can be used instead of Vance’s Darifree?

Christina – can you use Vance’s DairiFree? It helps pancakes to rise a bit on its own.

Hi Jules, I’ve been having such a difficult time using a natural leavener for gluten-free fluffy pancakes. Do you have an easy recipe for pancakes that only uses yeast and does not require any baking soda, powder, cream of tartar. Is it even possible? I look forward to your reply! Thank you!!
