Gluten-Free Pancake Mix Recipe

I use to whip up all of my gluten-free recipes from scratch. Every time.

I scoffed at the idea of making mixes to “save time”. I mean really, I already have my cheapest gluten-free flour ready to go, so how much time does it really save? Ten seconds?

Now I scoff at myself for thinking that. Now I realize that even if they only save ten seconds, Tend seconds is a lot of time when there’s a toddler clinging to your leg. Or when you’re late for church (again) but the kids still insist that they want breakfast anyway (the nerve!).

So, I caved. It’s a lot easier to grab a jar of pancake mix, add and egg, a splash of oil, and a cup of milk, than it is to gather up five different dry ingredients and measure each one individually. I admit it.

It also helps that we now live in a larger house where having extra jars of flours and mixes in my pantry isn’t really an imposition.

Fortunately for all of us gluten-free cooks, pancakes are not a picky recipe. You can customize the flour mix almost to your heart’s content without messing it up – really!

I like to use part buckwheat flour in mine (because I love buckwheat pancakes!), some folks like to add a little almond, or sorghum flour.

With this mix, you have two options: You can either have a “just add water” mix, or, mix the first section of ingredients, and you’ll have a mix that you can add egg, milk, and oil to.
