Delicious Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Pancakes

UmmBinat's Note:

Definitely a five star recipe that's base I found on another recipe site http://allrecipes.com where it had many rave reviews. I fixed it to be dairy & corn free. DH and I give this 5 stars. This is excellent served with my Bananas With Coconut Milk (Gluten Free) using the maple syrup option or drop a few blueberries on top of each pancake before flipping. They are already delicious with pure maple alone. These work with variations such as a delicious incorporation of chopped or mashed banana, alcohol free vanilla and a dash of coconut milk to taste almost like banana fritters. Enjoy them whichever way you choose!

These are 5 star in my book! These looked, felt, and tasted like regular pancakes. I made them egg free using ener-g egg replacer. I also substituted corn starch because I didn't have potato starch. I substituted xantham gum because I didn't have guar gum. I thought the 2 cups of liquid seemed a little much. I started with 1 cup of water, and then ended up adding another 1/2 cup of rice milk. These were excellent. Will definitely be making these again.

I really liked these pancakes. I followed the recipe except instead of adding potato starch, I added cornstarch. (I didn't have the potato starch.). I also added some ground flax and chia seeds. I was afraid I would never be able to have anything gluten-free that tasted good. These were really good. The kids didn't even ask for syrup. Which is always a plus in my book.

Yes, definitely five stars! I used brown rice flour and substituted the potato starch with sweet rice flour, and I used egg iin it. Also I used honey instead of the brown sugar. They turned out wonderful. I had them with syrup made of a little honey, rose water and water - delicious! Thanks for posting! Made for Ramadan Tag 2010.
