Pancake Recipe - Without Eggs, Milk, Corn, Soy

[ArtGirl]

I'm having a hard time coming up with etable pancakes with my restriction.

No egg, milk (use almond milk) corn, tapioca or potato.

Most pancakes rely on eggs. All the commercial gluten-free mixes need egg, and usually contain cornstarch and tapioca. I've tried them without egg and they are always gummy in the middle.

Any of you super bakers have suggestions?

When a recipe calls for tapioca or potato starch, I usually use arrowroot starch.

I can also use sweet rice starch.

Hi-

I was just gabbing with a woman at Earthfare who's son has severe allergies to all of the items you mentioned above, plus some more. She swears by Bob's Red Mill Pancake mix and uses orange juice in place of the eggs. She uses this substitute in a number of different recipes. Her pancakes are always light and fluffy. Good luck!

i've heard ground flax seed is a good sub for eggs. if you can handle things tasting a little "healthier" (in my case, i'd probably add lots of enjoy life chocolate chips!)

Thanks, Sarah, but I think the BRM mix has one of my allergens - I haven't found a premixed flour blend yet that doesn't.

I probably should try the flax egg subsititue again, but when I've used it before the results weren't very satisfying.

Oh well.

This is definitely tricky. Eggs are a great help in pancakes. Have you tried waffles instead? I had better luck with those when I couldn't have eggs. Flax seed isn't a great egg replacer when you need it for fluffiness - use egg replacer and a bit of baking soda and vinegar or lemon juice.

For a flour mix have you tried brown rice flour, white rice flour and arrowroot? The brown rice flour works better for me than all white rice. I would try something like 2 C br. rice, 3/4 C white rice and 3/4 C arrowroot plus 2 tsp. xanthan gum for a flour base. Sift it together 3 times before using.

Here is my egg-free pancake recipe.

2 tsp. egg replacer

3 Tbs. water

2 Tbs. oil

1 C Rice milk

1 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice

Stir wet ingredients together with wire wisk or old fashioned hand egg beater

Add:

7/8 C gluten-free flour mix

1 TBS Flax meal (for fiber, not to replace the eggs)

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon (for extra flavor)

1/2 tsp. salt

Stir or beat well until all lumps have disappeared. If batter is too thick add a tablespoon or more rice milk. If it's too thin let sit for 2-3 minutes before adding any more flour. (It will thicken slightly.) Cook on pancake griddle just a bit cooler than for regular pancakes - let them cook a tiny bit slower and longer. I set mine to 325 instead of 350.

For waffles use twice as much oil. Make sure your waffle iron is totally hot before putting batter in - make sure the waffle iron is at the right temperature, you want it plenty hot. Use non-stick spray on top and bottom.

Thanks so much, Liz. I'm going to give this a try right away.

Most of my flour mixes have arrowroot with both white and brown rice flours, plus a little bean flour which helps with the texture.

I also add yeast to even the non-yeast type breads which helps with flavor and also in the rising.

But the pancakes had me defeated.

I use applesauce in place of eggs a lot and it has always worked very well

Here is my favorite pancake recipe, it uses buckwheat flour which has a definite flavor but I think it is delicious

1 cup buckwheat flour

1 tsp backing powder (use corn free)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/3 cup applesauce

1 cup water (or milk sub)

1 cup blueberries

I have also made this with 2/3 teff flour and 1/3 millet and it was also very good

I bet you could use sugar, honey or agave nectar for the stevia (thinking to myself) and coconut oil or veg. oil for the vegan butter. And even some sorghum for part of the rice flour. Who knows...lots of experiments!

I used to make gluten applesauce pancakes...they were so yummy!

I once bought a mix online but can't remember where or what brand it was. It was perfect! No dairy or eggs, although I am not sure what flours it contained. All you had to do was add orange juice. Made the best tasting pancakes ever! And the texture was good. Everything else I have tried has been a flop. The pancakes always stick to the pan.

I was about to post the SAME question!

I have all the same allergens (and many, many more) and what I miss most is pancakes.

Where do you get corn free baking powder? Who makes it?

Does anyone have a pancake recipe without baking powder?

I make my own baking powder and that's the recipe I use - baking soda, cream of tartar, and arrowroot starch.

Actually, it's quite easy to make and very inexpensive if you mix up your own. I do so much baking that I go through a lot of baking powder.

I go through alot too and xanthan gum. I have been baking for...over 30 years ...and gluten-free baking since about May of this year...what a difference.

Yeah. I used to be famous for my baking. But this gluten-free stuff? Forget about it!

[Guest LittleMissAllergy]

Is there a gluten free mix with corn free baking powder (or NO baking powder)?

Because I'm definitely NOT the baker
