These gluten-free sugar-free pancakes are light, fluffy, and naturally sweetened — perfect for a healthy breakfast. If you are avoiding sugar for health reasons or just want to cut back, this recipe is a great choice. They taste delicious thanks to natural sweetness from vanilla extract and optional sugar substitutes like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.
These pancakes are made with a simple gluten-free flour blend and can easily be made dairy-free if needed. You can add cinnamon, mashed banana, or blueberries to boost natural sweetness without adding sugar. They cook up golden brown and pair well with sugar-free syrup, nut butter, or fresh berries.
This recipe works beautifully for meal prep. Make a batch, cool completely, and store them in the fridge or freezer. Reheat in the microwave, toaster, or air fryer for a quick weekday breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, erythritol)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Add sweetener if using. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth. - Combine:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine — don’t overmix. - Preheat Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter, oil, or cooking spray. - Cook Pancakes:
Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. - Serve:
Serve warm with sugar-free syrup, berries, or nut butter.
Tips & Tricks
- If you like naturally sweeter pancakes, mix in ½ mashed banana or a few blueberries.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- Make ahead and freeze — reheat in a toaster for busy mornings.
- Use unsweetened almond milk or oat milk for a lower-carb version.
