Top 8 Allergen Free, Gluten Free Pancakes
Top 8 allergen free and gluten free pancakes have a bad reputation for being dry or crumbly, and lacking in colour. But these pancakes will prove the naysayers wrong. They’re light and fluffy, full of flavor, and develop a lovely golden brown colour while cooking. They smell like a fresh loaf of banana bread… except that they’re ready in just minutes. This batch serves one but can easily be doubled to scale up to a larger serving size or to serve multiple people.
You will need rice milk, oat milk, or any other plant based milk that is allergy safe for you, for this recipe. I prefer to make my own plant milks because they are surprisingly simple to make at home and cost a fraction of the price. You can also find my recipe for raw rice milk and oat milk on my Amanda Orlando YouTube channel.
I chose to serve my gluten free, allergy friendly pancakes with fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, mint, and more ground cinnamon.
You are welcome to use store-bought oat flour for this recipe, as I often do myself. But you can also easily make oat flour at home with the help of a food processor. Check out my video below on how to make oat flour from scratch in your own kitchen. It’s easier than you might think.

How to make Top 8 Allergen Free, Gluten Free Pancakes
Mash together the banana, sea salt, brown sugar, and rice milk in a small mixing bowl.
Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until smooth.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. When the pan is nice and hot, add the batter. You can make small dollar-sized pancakes, or larger ones. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your pancakes.
Once bubbles form and pop in the batter they are ready to flip over. They will just need a minute on the other side.
Serve with your favorite fruit and some pure maple syrup.

This is the original photo that I took in Q2 of 2020. It’s plain to see that I was lacking inspiration at that time, for obvious reasons, but nevertheless these pancakes were still delicious.
