Why Make these?

When it comes to my Sunday pancakes it can get a little overwhelming because we have so many healthy pancake recipes on Fit Foodie Finds. I’m going to give you a few reasons why you should choose these!

Simple g/f Ingredients

As I mentioned earlier, we kept these pancakes gluten-free and the way we did this was by using an all-purpose gluten-free flour. In addition to these being gluten-free, they’re also a pretty balanced breakfast made with whole, healthy ingredients!

• cornmeal
• all-purpose gluten-free flour
• baking powder
• eggs
• applesauce
• almond milk
• maple syrup
• coconut oil

Pancake Tips

Don’t overmix the batter! One thing I’ve learned in my pancake career is to never overmix the batter! If you do this, you risk overbeating the eggs, which really help make your pancakes super fluffy! How do you make pancakes super fluffy? In addition to not overbeating your batter, our secret is an extra teaspoon of baking soda. Up your pancakes to 2 teaspoons of baking soda and that should do the trick! Flour substitutions: try swapping the gluten-free all-purpose flour for ground oat flour or even white whole wheat if you don’t need to keep this gluten-free!

Variation Ideas

Cheddar Chive: add a half cup of cheddar cheese and a few tablespoons of chives and you’ve got yourself a savory breakfast pancake! Blueberry Banana: give your cornmeal pancakes a twist and add a mashed banana and 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries! Cornbread Pancake Muffins: pour your pancake batter right into a muffin tin and you can make yourself pancake muffins!
