One More "your Favorite" Question-pancake Mix?

My older girls are new to the gluten free diet and disappointed that they can't have Grandma's pancakes or French toast this weekend when they visit. Is there a good baking mix or pancake mix I can pickup for her to use? I was looking at Namaste, but am open to any suggestions.

Namaste is my preference - made with almond milk. Even my "doesn't like gluten-free flours" husband enjoys the pancakes.

Namaste also gets my vote. I fed them to my whole family (not gluten-free people) over christmas break and they liked them!!

We use Kinnickinnick pancake and waffle mix. Everyone loves them! I use it more for waffles cause then I can freeze them and kids can pop a waffle in at breakfast.

We also used this mix at a scout camp - thought it safest to make gluten free pancakes for everyone... to avoid cc... all the kids said they tasted better than their moms! :)

Me too :P I use club soda for the liquid, my dad couldn't tell the difference when he was here. He just about flipped when I sat down and grabbed some pancakes :lol:

The Gluten Free Pantry! Sometimes, my non-gluten-free husband and I have them for dinner with bacon or ham. We both love them :)

When I have them, which isn't often, I like Pamela's. But I have only tried Pamela's and some other one, and I can't remember the name of the other one, but it was dense, so I went back to Pamela's.

I make my husband Pamela's - I think it tastes the best. Unfortunately, I can't eat it anymore because of the xanthan gum, but it doesn't make me sick to make it for him.

I used Guhlia's waffle recipe yesterday and we LOVED those. So if you're looking for waffles....

Back when I could have dairy, I did enjoy the Pamela's mix. Those were good. (They have buttermilk powder.)

Looks like you've gotten plenty of pancake suggestions, so I'll address the French Toast dilemma. If you buy a loaf of Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca Bread you (or Grandma) can make delicious French Toast using the same recipe as "normal". My gluten eating kids actually prefer it to "regular".

I'm going to chime in with Pamela's. I have non-gluten-free friends who buy it now just cause it tastes so good. I think its the almond flour that does it for me. I'm very much a small griddle cake pancake type person, and these are perfect for that.

Yes, Pamela's are excellent as well, unfortunately we can't get them here, and I hate paying shipping costs. :(

Oh man, you do *not* want to know what I paid for shipping for 30 pounds of Namaste pancake mix. Ouch!

My favorite is the Really Great Food Co. also, but b/c I can't find it here and shipping is so expensive, I usually use Pamela's (not as fluffy though). I order Pamela's in bulk from amazon - very cheap!

Lonewolf, funny you mention the french toast - I orderd the energ light tapioca bread from amazon and since it comes in a box with 6 loaves, I made french toast one morning and my husband and I ate THE WHOLE LOAF all by ourselves in one sitting! It was so good and I haven't had french toast in so long!

We love Mona's pancake mix (plus her other mixes). 2nd. is Pamela's. For french toast we use challah bread from Mr. Ritts and or Everybody Eats... and then there is bagels from Joan's gluten-free great bakes that are better then gluten ones......

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
