My dad’s pancakes have spoiled me for all other pancakes. They are moist and sweet, yet fluffy and buttery. My husband and I like these pancakes so much, we don’t even bother buying commercial pancake mix or ordering pancakes when we go out. We know that they just won’t compare to my dad’s pancakes. After my Celiac diagnosis, I decided to try to make these gluten free. Thankfully, they turned out just as delicious as the original recipe!
We make these pancakes so often, that I finally decided to mix all of the dry ingredients together ahead of time and store the mix in the pantry. Now we have healthy and delicious pancakes ready to go in just 10 minutes!
Oatmeal Pancake Baking Mix
- 4 Cups Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten free flour mix (or your favorite GF mix)
- 4 TB sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp baking soda
Combine all ingredients and store in airtight, dry container. Since there are no preservatives, it probably won’t last as long as a commercial pancake mix, but the pancakes mix should last as long as the earliest expiration date on your ingredients.
