Dairy, egg, gluten & wheat free pancake recipes

16/02/2010 by Ruth Holroyd 3 Comments

For all you pancake lovers out there, you can still enjoy pancakes with allergies; you can substitute with rice milk or any plant milk. It still makes great pancakes and won’t be able to taste the difference.

Here are some dairy, nut, soya and wheat free recipes that I’ve tried over the years.

Traditional pancakes (Dairy Free)

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 100g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 150ml Rice or Soya milk

Method

  1. Beat all the ingredients until the batter is smooth.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and then add 3 tablespoons of batter.
  3. Tilt the pan to allow the batter to cover the base. Cook for about 1 minute each side.
  4. Put on a plate in a warm oven to keep from going cold.

Dairy/Wheat/Gluten/Corn/Egg free pancakes

This recipe is from Foods Matter.

  • 170g plain wheat/gluten free flour
  • 3 tbsp soya flour
  • 1 tsp wheat/gluten free baking powder
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp seasalt
  • Water as required

Method

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  2. Make a well in the centre, pour in the oil, then gradually pour in the water, stirring constantly with a fork. The consistency should be like thick cream
  3. Leave to stand for half an hour
  4. If it’s too thick add a little water. If it’s too thin, add a little flour
  5. Heat Pure of vegetable oil and fry on both sides until cooked

Allergen-Free Whole-Grain Pancakes (Gluten, dairy, soya and egg Free)

Gluten, dairy, egg and soya free successful and tasty pancakes
  • 1¾ Cups Rice milk
  • 1/3 Cup Grapeseed oil (third of a cup not 1 to 3 cups!)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Flax seed
  • 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
  • 3 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Gluten-Free Baking Powder
  • Half Teaspoon Aluminum/ Gluten-Free Baking Soda
  • 2 Cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour Blend
  • Dash Himalayan Salt- or salt of your choice

How to make them:

  • Add rice milk to a medium glass bowl, stir in ¼ cup grape seed oil, flax seed, agave, vinegar, and vanilla.
  • In a large glass bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Add liquid ingredients and mix well.
  • Heat your pan over medium heat and oil the pan.
  • Pour about half cup the batter into the pan.
  • Cook the pancakes until the outside edge begins to look brown, and bubbles break on the surface of the batter, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  • Flip and cook the other side for another couple of minutes, or until thoroughly cooked.
  • Enjoy!

I didn’t have grape seed oil so just used olive oil in the mix and vegetable oil to cook. I also didn’t have the vinegar so added a dash of balsamic as I thought the whole amount might add too much vinegary taste.

The batter will keep overnight in the fridge and you can make another batch the next day or have them for breakfast, now that is a good idea. That is if we don’t finish them for tea.

I wonder if they would freeze well? Might try that. Good luck with the flipping!

How do you eat your pancakes?

I love mine best with lemon juice and sugar. I might try some with crushed blueberries for my tea. You could try them with golden syrup, jam, treacle, or savoury with bacon and mushrooms. Anything that takes your fancy really. With just lemon juice and sugar – divine. And with fresh blueberries and Sweet Freedom fruit sugar (which is a bit like maple syrup) they tasted amazing.

Tanya Wright’s freefrom pancake recipe from I’m Hungry

Tanya Wright free from pancake recipe

There is also a really simple recipe in Tanya Wright’s allergen free recipe book.

It can be wheat and gluten free and also dairy free if you use a plant milk of your choice.

This recipe uses banana instead of egg.

They look great in the picture, perhaps I’ll try these next time I’m feeling particularly brave on pancake day.

Hey, why do we have to wait until pancake day to have pancakes? They’re delicious and actually not very hard to make.

So be brave, make some pancakes. I’d love to hear how you get on.

Other allergen friendly pancake recipes to try

Pancake mixes for those who don’t want to make from scratch

“Anyone can make pancakes, so what’s so special about a pancake mix?”

I don’t find making pancakes easy. I often end up with a gloopy mix that doesn’t cook well or it’s too greasy and doesn’t seem to form a proper pancake.

  • Creative Nature pancake mix – It’s dead easy and creates lovely fluffy American style pancakes. Top 14 allergen free.

  • Freee pancake mix – from Doves Farm – Ingredients: Flour blend (rice, potato, tapioca, maize, buckwheat), chickpea flour, raising agents (monocalcium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate), corn starch.
  • Mrs Crimbles gluten free pancake mix – Ingredients: Maize flour, rice flour, cornflour, potato starch, raising agents: sodium bicarbonate, disodium diphosphate, stabiliser; xantham gum

    Thanks Ruth. Now here is a pancake recipe from my book!!
    Pancakes
    75g/3oz gluten free & wheat free plain flour
    1 Tbsp caster sugar
    1 large ripe banana mashed
    100mls dairy and soya free milk

    One good non-stick pan and a whisk for mixing
    Oil for frying

    • Mix all ingredients to a batter
    • Brush the non stick pan with the oil and when the oil is very hot make the pancakes
    • Serve immediately or heat up later in the microwave for 10 seconds

    Can be stacked ontop of each other (if they don’t get eaten straight away!)– they don’t stick together.

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
