Gluten-free Oven Pancake is an easy option for a quick breakfast. No standing at the stove flipping pancakes!
Mix the dry ingredients the night before save even more time. Toppings of your choice make this recipe so versatile.
A cast iron skillet is needed for this recipe, but they are worth the investment. We use ours for everything from sauteing veggies to making skillet cookies. The Lodge is reasonably priced.
This pancake can be made with so many variations – top with chocolate chips or jam for a jelly doughnut taste. For a fruity pancake, top with fresh or frozen blueberries.
Gluten-free Oven Pancake
This pancake is so versatile. The original recipe I found in a magazine a few years ago called for apple slices on top, but you can make it plain or with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Sprinkle blueberries on top and you have a blueberry pancake. Plopping strawberry jelly on it reminds me of jelly donuts. Also, because it bakes in the oven, there is no need to stand at the stove flipping pancakes!
Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet Ours is 10 inches across.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 TBSP arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup coconut milk I have also used plain or vanilla whole milk yogurt mixed with some heavy whipping cream.
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Oil
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Prep
- Preheat oven to 450℉.
- Place skillet in the oven to preheat OR place skillet on medium-high on stove the stoveve top burner.
Pancake Batter
- Mix wet ingredients in stand mixer or by hand with a whisk.
- Mix dry Ingredients in separate bowl. Whisk together.
- Add dry to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Finishing
- Remove pan from oven. Add 2 generous tablespoons of coconut oil. Melt and swirl to coat the pan.
- Make sure the oil is hot before pouring the batter on top. If it is not hot enough, the oil seeps over the top and it does not rise well.
- Pour the batter into the hot pan. Sprinkle with desired toppings.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, a few minutes less if you like a softer pancake and a few minutes more if you want a firmer pancake.
- Remove from oven. It will deflate slightly. Cut and serve.
