Gluten Free Pancake Brunch Recipe

The weekend is almost here and you know what that means…brunch! I am a big fan of brunch food, mostly because I always crave something sweet so for me it is a free pass to indulge in some of my favorites. Pancakes are my standby and I found a gluten free, vegan dry mix that is excellent, King Arthur Pancake mix.  The recipe calls for eggs and milk, but they can easily be replaced with applesauce and your favorite non dairy milk.

After some experimenting in the kitchen, I developed pumpkin spice pancakes topped with a caramelized granny smith apple. This recipe is so simple to make, delicious, and satisfying. Here’s what you’ll need:

2/3 cup of King Arthur Pancake mix

1/2 cup fresh pumpkin puree

1/4 cup Flax milk

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1 small granny smith apple

1 tablespoon vegan butter

Non stick spray

How to:

Dice apple into small chunks and add to saucepan with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and vegan butter. Sautee on low heat until the apple becomes soft. Then raise the heat to caramelize.

In a bowl add the dry mix with the pumpkin, flax milk, and remainder of cinnamon. Mix until completely smooth.

Pour batter onto non stick pan and cook until golden brown on each side (add a little cooking spray just in case).

Plate the pancakes and pour the apple mixture over the top. Finally dust the pancakes with the powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!
