Healthy Gluten-Free Pancake Recipe

Gluten-free pancakes are light, fluffy, and guilt-free. They're made with oats and naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Note: I like to create educational posts by including scientific and technical information before the recipes. You will learn how to plan healthier meals by reading them. If you are in a hurry, you may jump to the recipe!

Healthy gluten-free vegan pancake ingredients

These healthy gluten-free pancakes are very easy to make. Nothing strange that you've never heard of is in there. Simple, daily basics like nondairy milk and flour.

These pancakes have no butter or white flour. So you may enjoy them without guilt!

Milk

Low-fat or non-fat milk is often the ideal milk for losing weight since it has fewer calories and fat than full milk. They provide high-quality protein and calcium, which can help you feel full and help you lose weight. I used low-fat milk in this recipe.

Oats

Oats are one of the healthiest grains on the planet. They're a gluten-free whole grain that's high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals including manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, copper, biotin, and vitamin B1 (thiamine).

Oats include avenanthramides, which are antioxidants not present in other cereal grains. These antioxidants help to improve heart health by reducing inflammation and relaxing arteries.

According to research, oats and oatmeal provide several health benefits. Weight loss, decreased blood sugar levels, and a lower risk of heart disease are among the benefits.

Maple syrup

Many antioxidants included in maple syrup limit the harm that molecules known as free radicals may cause. Free radicals may damage cells when they accumulate to dangerous levels. Diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are among the medical conditions that may result from this.

Along with potassium and calcium, maple syrup also has significant concentrations of manganese and zinc. Zinc supports wound healing, strengthens the immune system, and protects against and expedites the healing of respiratory viral infections.

Although you may use any other natural liquid sweetener—artificial sweeteners are not good for you and won't work in this recipe—maple syrup is my personal preference due to its flavor.

Egg

Egg protein has been demonstrated to help in weight loss. Other advantages include infection prevention, blood pressure reduction, and anti-cancer activity.

In baking, eggs offer leavening, binding, and aeration, as well as texture, flavor, color, and scent.

According to some research, eating up to one egg per day may be an acceptable decision if your diet contains minimal additional cholesterol. Use only the egg whites if you want eggs but don't want the cholesterol. Egg whites have no cholesterol but are high in protein.

PRECAUTION

• Your Teflon pots and pans may contain dangerous PFOAs depending on their age. After five years, you should replace nonstick pans. Beware of nonstick cookware manufactured before 2015 since it may contain PFOA.

Healthy alternatives for Teflon cookware

• Cast iron cookware acquires a natural nonstick coating over time, especially if properly seasoned and cared for.
• Carbon steel cookware performs similarly to cast-iron cookware, however, it is less heavy, somewhat more prone to corrosion, and often more costly.
• Ceramic cookware is safe and non-toxic (as long as the coating is not damaged). But ceramic coating is less durable since it cracks, chips, and wears away over time. The cookware is more costly than comparable nonstick utensils.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your pan sticks or you don't trust it, add a teaspoon of oil to it, wipe it down with a paper towel, and then wipe the pan down between pancakes.
