Our Allergen-Free Chocolate Cake recipe works well in Oz.  I modified the original entry to update for cooking in Australia. Now it shows the flours I have used here.  It seems the All-Purpose Gluten-Free flours here work much better for baking instead of Pancakes. Also we used Apple-Cider Vinegar too without it affecting the taste adversely.

Well, my Pancake Recipe looks like it is specific to Bob’s Red Mill flour only.  I have modified those posts to specifically say for Bob’s Red Mill.  I have tried it with Orgran All Purpose Flour here in Australia with very dissappointing results.  Basically the pancake gets done on the outside but the inside is as wet as the batter in the mixing bowl.  Kind of disgusting.  I’ll keep trying until I get a decent recipe here.

I found an article a while back about US Government Scientists formulating a recipe for Gluten-Free pancakes that were indistinguishable from Pancakes with Gluten (Wheat) in them. The article is here. The biggest problem was that they talked about it, but NEVER published the recipe online.  Then several weeks later the journal that they published in put the issue online.  Now I can see the recipe as part of their scientific analysis of the pancakes. However it does call for putting the Sweet Potatoes in Liquid Nitrogen as a step in making the flour.

And it looks like they studied the pancakes for every type of quality with lots of scientific tests.  The only thing that is not mentioned in the article was whether the pancakes TASTED ANY GOOD or not!

Well we will find it out when we make our own.  We’ll let you know.

After some trial, my family agrees that using Olive Oil instead of Canola Oil makes the pancakes taste better.  So I ammended the Recipe Posts to say Canola or Olive.  Also frying the pancakes in a stainless steel skillet with a little Olive Oil (just below the smoking point of the oil) makes the pancakes a little better then using a non-stick skillet.

This is an improvement to our Allergen Free Pancake Recipe. This is possibly the best Pancake Recipe yet without Wheat, Egg, Soy, and Dairy.

We usually double the recipe for our family.
2/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour
1/3 cup Buckwheat flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (see note below)
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Applesauce (Motts Natural works fine. Gerber’s Baby Food works too just more expensive.)
1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Canola Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey (see note below)
1 Cup water

Put griddle on Stove and turn on to Med to Med Hi. Mix dry ingredients with Wisk. Add Oil, applesauce, honey and then water. Mix thoroughly with wisk until everything is mixed well. The soda and baking powder will start working before done mixing. Pour by 1/3 to 1/4 cup on the griddle. When edges are dry flip. Top with pure Maple Syrup and enjoy.

Variation/Substitutes / Possible Changes

  • Sprinkle EnjoyLife Allergen Free Chocolate Chips into pancakes as soon as they have been poured onto the griddle.
  • Add 1 – 2 mashed ripe bananas to add banana flavor. In that case the Chocolate Chips cease to be optional. :-)
  • If not using Honey, consider dropping Baking Soda and increasing Baking Powder by 1/2 Tablespoon as there may not be enough acid for the Baking Soda, plus you may want to add a teaspoon or two of sugar though not necessary.
  • 1 Tablespoon of Mashed Ripe Bananas (Gerber’s Baby Food is perfect) can be used instead of Applesauce but then also consider dropping Baking Soda and increasing Baking Powder by 1/2 Tablespoon as there may not be enough acid for the Baking Soda. 1 Tablespoon when used instead of the Applesause does not add much if any banana taste.

This is a major variation of our Allergen Free Pancake Recipe. Though simple we thought it should get a seperate post of it’s own.

We usually double the recipe for our family.

1 cup Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (see note below)
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon salt (optional)
1 Tablespoon of Cocoa
3 Tablespoons of Sugar
1 Tablespoon Applesauce (Motts Natural works fine. Gerber’s Baby Food works too just more expensive.)
1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Canola Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey (see note below)
1 Cup water

Put griddle on Stove and turn on to Med to Med Hi. Mix dry ingredients with Wisk. Add Oil, applesauce, honey and then water. Mix thoroughly with wisk until everything is mixed well. The soda and baking powder will start working before done mixing. Pour by 1/3 to 1/4 cup on the griddle. When edges are dry flip. Top with pure Maple Syrup and enjoy.

These are the best Pancakes I have made so far. They get a strong 5 out of 6 rating (in other words 5 of the 6 in our family love them) GFCF and EF. We usually double the recipe for our family.

1 cup Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (see note below)
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon salt (optional)
1 Tablespoon Applesauce (Motts Natural works fine. Gerber’s Baby Food works too just more expensive.)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Canola Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey (see note below)
1 Cup water

Variation/Substitutes / Possible Changes

  • Drop EnjoyLife Allergen Free Chocolate Chips into the pancakes as soon as they have been poured onto the griddle.
  • Include adding 1 – 2 mashed ripe bananas to add banana flavor. In that case the Chocolate Chips cease to be optional. :-)
  • If not using Honey, consider dropping Baking Soda and increasing Baking Powder by 1/2 Tablespoon as there may not be enough acid for the Baking Soda, plus you may want to add a teaspoon or two of sugar though not necessary.

Well I tried taking our GFCF and EF Pancake recipe (which I will post soon) and try it with Oat Flour to see if it would help Shay like it better. We won’t be making those again. The first one dropped on the griddle like a cookie, then I added more water and finally got the right batter consistency. I watched them rise with the bubbles and then they fell. The outside looked good but the insides were wet and mushy. Uggh. I think my normal recipe is good so far, just Shay doesn’t like them. She prefers Wheat flour.
