Easy Fluffy Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes
It’s no secret that the Smiths like to have breakfast for dinner, at the very least, once a week. Because mornings are so busy, we usually have a smoothie or oatmeal to start our day – but we are so very fond of all the other traditional breakfast foods, that we make sure to add them to our weekly dinner plans. One of our favourite meals is pancakes, loaded with fruit. I make them all sorts of ways, so we never grow tired. Sometimes buckwheat, sometimes oat flour , sometimes pumpkin, and sometimes traditional fluffy white pancakes made with gluten-free rice flour. I actually prefer buckwheat crepes, but these ones are for my boys. They love them and probably love how similar to the real deal they are (as in, you’d never know they were gluten-free & dairy-free & egg-free….and I guess that would make them vegan too…).
Adding fresh blueberries (or any seasonal fresh fruit) will make these burst with flavour and you won’t even need maple syrup, because they are that delicious on their own. Although, if you want to indulge – do indulge in pure maple syrup or make homemade fruit sauce as I did, which was simply fresh blueberries mixed with water and a teaspoon of organic sugar simmered until perfectly saucy.

This looks so good, I love pancakes but rarely eat them. I do eat protein pancakes 🙂 I have been way more aware of gluten lately and I definitely want to try these!
Thanks for a yummy recipe.
I can tell you first hand that for one these pancakes are legit and second they are super tasty, thanks babe!
Delicious looking and delicious to eat! Tried them and will use this recipe again!
Just pinned this, what delicious looking pancakes! There’s nothing quite like real maple syrup (can’t believe I grew up eating the artificial stuff!), and when we were in Maine my friend gave us some homemade blueberry jam that would be perfect for these pancakes. Thanks Emily!
Can I come to your house for breakfast tomorrow!
