Pancakes have never been one of my favorite breakfast choices but were often the weekend request by my children when they were younger. My little kitchen definitely saw its fair amount of skillet cakes in the mornings. I have many sweet memories of my kids and their friends having late-night sleepovers that ended with a fluffy stack of pancakes and syrup the following morning.
My long-standing issue with pancakes isn’t the memories they conjure up but the reality that I’m not very good at making them! Most weekend pancake sessions have ended with me burning several before turning the spatula over to my husband Bill, the KING of pancakes. Yep, Bill has the patience of a saint when it comes to making round, fluffy cakes for breakfast. Now that my kitchen is a completely gluten-free kitchen, these fluffy cakes are even more challenging…until now. My Simple Gluten Free Vegan Pancakes are versatile and delicious!
Pancake toppings:
When it comes to pancake toppings, I typically leave that up to the pancake eater, often offering an array of choices: real maple syrup, berry syrup, fresh fruit, chocolate chips and nuts. Keep it fun and enjoy the ride my pancake making friends!

- Add wet to dry and stir until well combined.
- Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to an iron skillet over medium heat.
- Drop batter by spoonfuls. This is the hard part...WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE BUBBLES, then flip. Flipping too soon will result in a mess, trust me! haha! I know how to ruin pancakes.
- If you're interested in the simple berry syrup (shown in photos) as a topping, simply add frozen organic berries and real maple syrup to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes. That's it folks.
