    Fluffy Gluten-Free Pancakes with Sorghum Flour

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on Sep 13, 2019 (updated Apr 26, 2023) / 57 Comments Jump to Recipe

    These gluten-free pancakes get nutty flavor from whole-grain sorghum flour, tangy buttermilk, and a splash of vanilla. With tender, fluffy middles and crispy edges, these pancakes are easy to whip up for breakfast or brunch. See the recipe for dairy-free, vegan, blueberry, and other options.

    You can read more about using gluten-free flours in my guide to gluten-free flours!

    I've been working to develop the perfect gluten-free pancake recipe for two years (!) After making (and eating) batch after batch, making tiny tweaks each time, I'm finally 100% happy with the recipe. I'm so excited to finally share my favorite gluten-free pancakes with you! I've also developed dairy-free and vegan versions that are every bit as good.

    I like to make a double batch of gluten-free pancakes on Sunday and store the extras in the fridge for a quick breakfast during the rest of the week. They make a nourishing canvas for all of the amazing late-summer fruit in season right now.

    The Quest for the Best Gluten-Free Pancakes

    This recipe began with one that I found on Food52 back in 2016 for extra-fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The trick, they said, was to separate the egg and stir in the egg white at the end. I was skeptical, but I swapped in gluten-free flours and took the recipe for a spin. I wasn't sure the technique would work with gluten-free flours. But the resulting pancakes were DELICIOUS – largely thanks to a whopping 10 tablespoons of butter!

    I wiggled ingredients up and down to make the recipe work gluten-free as well as it could. Not that I have anything against butter, but even I couldn't pour quite so much into breakfast, so I took the butter down by 40%. And when I was happy with the results, I tried a batch with and without the egg separated. Turns out I couldn't detect a difference after all!

    But these pancakes cook up thick and fluffy regardless. Their outsides are crisped in ghee, the centers are tender and delicate, and the salty/sweet levels make these gluten-free pancakes super flavorful.

    Healthy Gluten-Free Pancakes with Sorghum Flour

    These gluten-free pancakes taste similar to a classic pancake recipe – mild, slightly sweet, and with a bit of tang from buttermilk. But they're a bit healthier than most.

    This healthy pancake recipe starts with whole-grain goodness from sorghum flour, which is high in antioxidants, fiber, and minerals. Sticky sweet rice flour holds them together, meaning these pancakes are made without xanthan gum or starch. These sugar-free pancakes are sweetened with just a touch of maple syrup. Sorghum flour, egg, and buttermilk all add protein, which helps you feel satisfied long after breakfast.

    I like to top a small serving of pancakes with a pile of fresh fruit, a scoop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of hemp seed and maple syrup. This balances the decadence of pancakes with nutritious components I can feel good about eating anytime.

    GF Pancake Ingredients

    Many gluten-free pancake recipes start with a premade gluten-free all-purpose flour or pancake mixes. But I prefer creating my own flour blends for each specific recipe. This allows us to:

    1. experience the unique tastes and textures of gluten-free flours
    2. minimize and/or eliminate gums and starches
    3. skip the search for a specific flour brand
    4. avoid making a mega batch of flour mix that you may or may not like

    Just two flours are needed for this GF pancake recipe, plus a handful of other ingredients:

    • Sorghum flour makes up the majority of this recipe. In addition to sorghum flour's health benefits listed above, it boasts a mild, nutty flavor that reminds me of Cream of Wheat.
    • Sweet rice flour a.k.a. glutinous rice flour is made from a sticky type of rice and helps these pancakes hold together without any additional starches or gums.
    • Maple syrup sweetens these pancakes, making the recipe free of refined sugar. You can also use sorghum syrup if you happen to have any on-hand for some double sorghum action.
    • Buttermilk moistens the batter and adds a bit of tang and tenderness. If you don't have any on hand you can thin yogurt with milk.
    • Egg adds proteins that help fluff up the batter as the pancakes cook and create structure.
    • Baking soda promotes spreading and browning.
    • Baking powder helps the batter rise.
    • Salt sharpens the flavors.
    • Vanilla adds sweet, floral complexity.
    • Butter adds richness and promotes browning.

    How to Make Gluten-Free Pancakes

    These easy gluten-free pancakes are super simple to make, with a few mixing tricks turning out the fluffiest pancakes.

    1. First, whisk or sift together the dry ingredients: flours, leavening, and salt. I like to sift because my leavening is always clumpy and I shudder at the thought of biting into a chunk of baking powder or soda. [Insert scream emoji]
    2. Next, gently whisk together the wet ingredients except for the butter: buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla. Try not to over whisk the egg; keeping the proteins in the white in tact help fluff up the pancakes.
    3. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir a few times until they're halfway combined: about 8-10 stirs.
    4. Add the butter and stir until just combined and no flour or butter streaks remained. You want the batter thick and lumpy for the fluffiest cakes.
    5. While the batter sits for a few minutes getting extra thick, heat a wide skillet or griddle over medium heat. These pancakes like to cook low and slow, so decrease the heat to medium-low or low once the pan is hot.
    6. I prefer ghee for cooking pancakes because it has a super high smoke point, but another high-heat cooking oil will work too. Coat the pan with a thin film of ghee or oil. Drop scoops of batter into the oil and cook until the bottoms brown. Flip gently to keep them as fluffy as possible and cook until golden on the second side and cooked through.

    Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Pancakes

    These gluten-free pancakes can easily be made dairy-free too. Just swap out the butter for plant butter (I like Miyoko's Creamery best). In place of the buttermilk, use a plant yogurt (I like Forager cashew yogurt) thinned with plant milk (I prefer fresh almond milk or oat milk). See the recipe notes for measurements!

    Gluten-Free Vegan Pancakes

    Update: These pancakes can be make vegan too! Use the dairy-free substitutions listed above and in the recipe notes. In place of egg, use 1/4 cup aquafaba (the liquid from canned or jarred chickpeas or white beans). Or use 1/4 cup Just Egg, which is an egg substitute made from mung bean plus some other ingredients.

    Buttermilk Substitutes

    I don't recommend using the lemon juice + milk trick here as the result is not as thick as buttermilk and will produce thinner cakes. Instead, thin yogurt with milk until it's the consistency of heavy cream or buttermilk. You can use a European-style yogurt, which you won't need to thin as much. Or start with a thick Greek yogurt and add extra milk.

    Substitutes for Sweet Rice Flour and Sorghum Flour

    Look for both of these flours with other gluten-free flours at health food stores or order them directly from Bob's Red Mill. Sweet rice flour aka glutinous rice flour can often be found at Asian markets.

    In place of sweet rice flour, you can use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. This is based on sweet rice flour. Or try regular rice flour mixed with a small amount of tapioca flour.

    In place of sorghum flour, use an equal amount of oat, teff, or buckwheat flour – measure by weight for the best results as all of these flours weigh differently. Be sure your flours are certified gluten-free if you're highly sensitive.

    How to Make Uniformly-Sized Pancakes

    I like to use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to easily scoop my batter into the pan in equal-sized globs. It makes quick work, plus it's tidy, and it ensures pancakes that are the same size. I used a heaping #24 scoop to make these.

    Gluten-Free Pancake Bliss

    Top these pancakes with your favorite seasonal fruit: berries in the spring, stone fruit in the summer, sauteed pears or apples in the fall, and citrus in the winter. I prefer a scoop of yogurt on my pancakes since there's enough butter in there already. A flurry of hemp seed makes a pretty finish. And don't forget the maple syrup.

    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 20 minutes minutes
    Servings: 3 servings

    Ingredients

    Pancakes:

    • ¾ cup (90 g) sorghum flour (or try millet or oat flour by weight)
    • ½ cup (75 g) sweet white rice flour (or try GF AP blend such as Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1)
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 cup (235 ml) well-shaken buttermilk (add 2-4 more tablespoons if you want more thin, crisp pancakes)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup, plus more for serving
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoons (45 g) butter, melted
    • ghee or neutral high-heat vegetable oil (such as sunflower), for cooking

    For serving:

    • maple syrup
    • seasonal fruit
    • Greek yogurt
    • hemp seed
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the sorghum and sweet rice flours with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a measuring pitcher or bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla.
    • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and quickly stir with a flexible spatula until halfway combined; 8 to 10 strokes. Pour in the melted butter and quickly but gently mix until the batter is just combined and no butter or flour streaks remain. Some lumps are ok. Take care not to overmix the batter or it will become thin and the pancakes will cook up flatter and more tough.
    • Set the batter aside for a minute or two to thicken. Meanwhile, preheat a wide skillet or griddle over medium heat. I prefer well-seasoned cast iron or ceramic nonstick. When the pan is hot, lower to medium-low or low.
    • Coat the hot pan with a thin layer of ghee or oil. Drop the batter by ¼ - 1/3 cups into the hot oil. Cook on the first side until the bottoms are golden, 2-3 minutes. Gently flip, taking care not to deflate the pancakes. Cook on the second side until the bottoms are golden, 2-3 more minutes.
    • Remove the pancakes to a wire rack. When you’re ready to serve, reheat any cooled pancakes in the hot pan. Alternatively put them in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
    • Serve with your favorite toppings. I like mine piled high with fresh seasonal fruit, a big dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of hemp seed, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
    • Pancakes can be made ahead and warmed in a hot skillet or toaster oven when ready to serve. They will keep for up to 4 days airtight in the refrigerator.

      These were lovely! They cooked up nicely and tasted great.

      I did a vegan variation with the following substitutions:
      -2 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water in place of the egg
      - 1/2 c so delicious coconut yogurt (that's all I had)
      - 1 c oatly milk
      3/4 tsp xanthan gum

      I also subbed Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour for the sorghum and rice flours, as that is what I had on hand.

        Thank You for this recipe ! I chose this recipe above others because I didn’t want to use the zanthan gum or syllium hull for binders. Plus I had the sweet rice flour on hand. May I say the sweetness and flavor is a game changer for me . And will probably omit white flour pancakes from my diet. A big benefit besides great flavor is I didn’t have that stuffed feeling after eating them that I have with gluten pancake . Again thanks .

        I really enjoyed these pancakes! I made a plant-based version but didn't have aquafaba so used Bob's Red Mill egg replacer. Just curious though...my gf pancakes are almost always a little bit raw in the middle - what is the secret to getting fluffiness all the way through?!

        Reply
        • A says

          July 05, 2021 at 1:49 am

          Sounds like you need less liquid and potentially more baking powder. For fluffy things like pancakes/cupcakes/muffins, generally you have 1Tbsp baking powder per cup of flour. For pancakes you generally additionally have 1c wheat flour per 1c ‘milk’ liquid + an additional 1/4 c liquid fat + ~2 Tbsp liquid from your binder (e.g., flax egg, aquafaba, etc), + 1-2 Tbsp sugar. For extra fluffiness, you can add 1/2 tsp white or cider vinegar to your ‘milk’ to simulate buttermilk and give a little extra lift to your baking powder. If you use those ratios and still have problems after gently folding 1-2 Tbsp more flour into your batter (for GF flours like in this blog’s recipe you might need a little more than that), your pan temperature could be too low as well, or your pan heats unevenly / doesn’t retain heat well.

      I made the vegan version: 3/4 cup coconut yogurt, 1/4 cup Ripple milk, 3 TBSP avocado oil, and 1/4 cup aquafaba. (I did cook them in ghee, as our problem isn't dairy, but more of casein).

      They cooked up nicely, gaining a kind of crisp top and bottom, softer in the middle. My son gobbled these up, but I wasn't so much a fan. The texture was a bit too fine in the middle for me, and it had a strong toasted rice flavor, which I don't really want in my pancakes. Would be curious to see how it would taste if tried other flours other than the rice, like millet or a combo of starches .... I may go experiment a little. Thanks for the recipe!

          Okay, I have a new recipe, but it's a bit much - as in, a lot of ingredients. Gluten free and vegan (except for the ghee that I cook it in). I make a huge batch so I don't have to make breakfast for several days, so pardon the large measurements.

          Night before, soak 2/3 cup raw cashews in water. In morning, start with wet ingredients: rinse nuts, dump in blender and fill with water to just under the 4 cup line. Add 3 bananas, 3 tsp vanilla, and 5 TBSP avocado oil. Blend smooth.

          Dry ingredients: Whisk 1.5 cup almond flour, 1.5 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup potato starch, 1/4 cup tapioca flour, 1/4 cup ground flax, 3/4 cup sorghum flour, and 3/4 cup millet flour with 6 tsp baking powder and 1.5 tsp salt.

          Whisk wet into dry and cook in ghee. You get a soft pancake that has the inner texture you can't get with rice flour. Nice flavor, crisp edges from the ghee. Delish and pretty darn healthy :)

        March 26, 2020 at 1:48 pm

        You can definitely try that. White rice flour isn't as fine or as sticky as sweet rice flour, so the batter may be more runny and the cakes more thin. You could try adding a little tapioca flour in if you have any, or using a GF all-purpose blend. Pancakes are pretty forgiving though, so whatever you try, it's likely to be delicious. :)

      I've been gluten-free for 6 years and have made countless pancake recipes-- this recipe is the best. The pancakes exceeded expectations, which is saying something as I've made a lot of wonderful things from this website. The only sub I made was avocado oil for butter in the recipe, as I was low on butter and needed to save some to slather on top. I made a double batch and couldn't be happier! Thank you.

        Hm, that's odd! Dry like there wasn't enough liquid in the batter? Or dry like overcooked? If it's the first one, you can try adding a few more tablespoons of liquid to loosen up the batter. If it's the second one, maybe try cooking them a little less, or cooking them over higher heat so that they brown before they dry up in the middle. Hope that helps and that you give them another go!

      Would you have a suggestion for a sorghum or teff flour substitute? I am okay with gluten and do not have either of those on hand, but have everything else! Thanks!

      Have made these multiple times with multiple variations and they're always perfect..What a solid recipe! I use a blend of yogurt and milk in place of the buttermilk and it works perfectly! Thank you, Alanna!

      Hi, Huge fan of your ricotta lemon pancakes, but decided to try these today. I substituted teff flour for sorghum (by weight), and yogurt + plant milk for buttermilk. The batter was *really* thick, I probably added extra 1/2 cup of milk to get a pourable batter. Very tasty!

        Good call adding the extra plant milk – I'm so glad you liked them and the lemon ricotta pancakes too!

      These are delicious! Light, with crisp edges and flavorful. I goofed and combined the butter with the liquid ingredients but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Your recipes spoil me for any others and as always, your photography draws me in. Beautiful! Thank you!

      Can I use coconut flour instead of rice flour

        Hi there, I wouldn't recommend subbing coconut flour here as it is *much* more absorbent than the other flours called for. You'd have to reduce the flour by about two-thirds and experiment a bit. Probably easier to start with a coconut flour pancake recipe that's already been formulated to use that flour. Let me know what you try!

      I got some Sicilian pistachio spread for Christmas. It is the kind of thing I usually keep for a special occasion and then a couple of years later find in the back of cabinet and wonder if it is still good. I resolved not to do that this time and the first thing I used it with was these pancakes. Delish! I’m looking forward to trying the teff variation.

        I know how that goes, when something is "too good to use!" That pistachio spread sounds super special and delicious. I'm so glad you liked it with the pancakes, yum! Did you ever try the teff version?

      Made these today with the oat flour sub for sorghum and made a buttermilk substitute with some milk and yoghurt. Extra delicious topped with some fresh strawberries, yoghurt, and maple syrup. My partner said these are his ideal type of pancake (fluffy with a little tiny bit crunch from cooking). Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi! Anything I can replace the rice flour with? But then it would be a completely different pancake. I love sorghum flour though. I have a lemon drizzle cake recipe with all sorghum, with maybe a little tapioca flour, and it is delicious. Thank you.

        Hi Alene! Oh that cake sounds fantastic. I think you could try something similar here – more sorghum plus some tapioca. Please let me know if you experiment!

          These were delicious! I ended up using 1 cup of sorghum and a 1 /4 cup of tapioca with 1 extra tablespoon of buttermilk. That did make them crispy around the edges, which is how I like my pancakes. Sorghum flour has become my flour of choice lately! I don't always think of making pancakes because I like lighter breakfasts. My daughter is coming down in a week. I think even Miss Picky would like these! Thank you for putting up with my rice issue. I hope you have a nice day.

      I've tested a lot of flour variations trying to find a good tasting, lofty gluten-free pancake and THIS is the one. I use a squirt of lemon juice in my oat milk and melted Myoko butter as I don't do dairy. Served with fruit compote and sprouted walnuts. Thank you.

        This makes me so happy to hear! I was surprised how simple and delicious the blend of sweet rice and sorghum flours were in these pancakes too. So glad you're a fan! Those variations and accompaniments sound delicious.

    Time for a “me” moment… with goat cheese! I Time for a “me” moment… with goat cheese!

I love having a snack at teatime in the afternoon, and Vermont Creamery’s chocolate cherry goat cheese is making my dreams come true. With its velvety texture, rich notes of chocolate and fruit, and bright goat cheese, it tastes like the most luscious chocolate cherry cheesecake. 

Pair it with crackers, fruit, nuts, and pour yourself a cup of tea for an elegant afternoon pick-me-up. 

Bojon appétit!

    Did you know you can make your own crème fraîche Did you know you can make your own crème fraîche from scratch with just two ingredients? 

When I worked as a pastry chef, we would whip up a big batch every week to use in and on desserts. I just popped the recipe for this delicious and versatile ingredient on TBG! (It’s also in Alternative Baker on page 223)

Here are some of the ways I love to use it:

✨dolloped on desserts such as gluten-free apple cake 
✨nommed straight from the jar!
✨swirled in a bowl of soup (curried carrot ginger🥕)
✨churned into crème fraîche ice cream
✨mashed into potatoes 
✨baked into GF chocolate Bundt cake

There’s creme fraiche in the batter and ganache, and it’s lovely served with billows of creme fraiche whipped cream. 

Creme fraiche adds bright notes and richness to this luscious cake. It’s fudgy and rich with a springy, tender crumb. 

A blend of flours (sweet rice, teff, and tapioca) makes it sneakily gluten-free.

    I just got a sweet comment on this gluten-free tom I just got a sweet comment on this gluten-free tomato galette recipe by a reader who made it with extra cheese and some dijon mustard spread on the crust. This gave me a wicked craving for this flaky tomatoey goodness, and I thought you all might feel the same way! 

Swipe to see how it’s made ➡️

This recipe starts with my favorite flaky gluten-free pie crust made with sweet rice, oat, and millet flours. Top this with parmesan, mozzarella, oregano, and thick heirloom tomato slices that have been salted and drained to concentrate their flavor. 

It bakes into a golden galette loaded with the flavors of summer. Enjoy!
