Quick, Easy and FUN Homemade Gluten-Free Pancakes

1 packet Jules Gluten Free™ Pancake Mix (each bag contains 2 packets)
2 eggs (or egg substitute)
3 Tbs. vegetable oil of choice
1 1/2 (+/-) cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
berries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc., if desired
food coloring (optional) – for natural food colorings, try Seelect or India Tree

In a medium bowl, combine all the liquid ingredients, using only 1 1/4 cups of milk at first. Gradually whisk in the packet of Jules Gluten Free™ Pancake Mix until well integrated and only a few lumps remain. Add more milk as needed to thin the batter to the point that it is easily spooned onto the skillet, but is not watery at all. You should be able to put a dollop of batter onto the pan and spread the batter out with the back of a spoon to form a circle without the batter being too thick or too runny.

If not using a non-stick pan, pour enough oil into a large skillet or griddle to have a thin covering over the entire surface; with a non-stick pan, no oil is necessary. Heat skillet or griddle to medium-high.

Spoon batter onto skillet and spread the batter with the back of a large spoon. Leave space between each pancake so that you can use a spatula to flip each one easily. If desired, drop berries, chocolate chips, etc. onto the uncooked side of the pancakes. (Or make into fun shapes like hearts, flowers or your kids’ names using a Pancake Pen!)

If you’d like colorful pancake batter, divide batter between bowls and add food coloring to each one. For best results, use a Pancake Pen, or try using cleaned honey, jam or ketchup squeeze bottles.

Cook until bubbles begin to form in the batter, then gently flip, continuing to cook until light brown on the bottom. Serve warm with maple syrup, or layer with pieces of wax paper between the pancakes, and seal in a zip-top bag once cooled; refrigerate or freeze and reheat for later serving.

Each packet of mix (2 per bag) serves 4-6.

*Note: To make waffles with my mix, simply spoon 1/2 – 2/3 cup of batter into preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Each mix packet makes approximately 7 waffles.

I got my box of pancake mix and pancake pen the day before my grandkids came to spend the weekend. I added a touch of cinnamon to the mic but otherwise made it by the directions. The kids LOVED the shapes and the taste. I loved how well they cooked…I usually burn pancakes or have the middle raw. The only complaint from my granddaughter Kellyn was that she didn’t get a star pancake. The only complaint from my son was he did not get enough. My only complaint was that they didn’t leave me any.

Jules-
Can the pancakes be made with your flour? I can’t buy the mix locally and don’t want to wait for shipping. Your picture on facebook this morning looked so delicious that I want to make pancakes today! I didn’t even know I missed pancakes until I saw yours this morning!

  Hi Heather – the pancakes can absolutely be made with my flour. Make sure to use dry powdered milk or almond meal in the recipe where it calls for it, though – it helps to make them fluffy and flap-jacky! Here’s the scratch recipe: Pancakes!
