The Ultimate Gluten-Free Bread Pudding Pancake Recipe
Pancakes can be tricky when you are gluten-free. Getting that traditional pancake flavour and texture is hard to achieve, however, when it comes to alternatives to traditional pancakes, this recipe takes the cake. Using a loaf of gluten-free bread soaked in milk gives these pancakes the bread pudding name, but definately helps to make them delicsious.
Ingredients
- 400 g Gluten-Free White Bread brioche style works well
- 1½ Cups + 2% Milk or non-dairy alternative milk
- 1¼ Cups Gluten-Free Flour
- ¼ Cup White Sugar
- 1½ Tbsp Baking Powder
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Vegetable Oil
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 3 Tsp Vailla
- ¼ Tsp Cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed bread in a bowl.
- Pour one cup of milk over the bread with a spatula, gently.
- After five minutes check the bread and add another half cup of milk.Tip: You do not want the bread to be softened, but you don’t want it to be swimming in the milk either.
- If your bread is super absorbent or seems very dry, you can add another ½ c of milk.
- While the bread is soaking, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the soaked bread and gently fold in, until just incorporated.
- In the bowl that the flour was in, beat together eggs, oil, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the egg mixture to the bread and flour mixture. Mix to combine.
- Let batter rest 15-30 minutes.
- Melt the butter, butter alternative, or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat.
- Drop about 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake, into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, over medium heat.Tip: These do not bubble like traditional pancakes, so wait until the edges are brown, and you can get a spatula under them, and they are firm enough to flip.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, so when the pancakes are cooked, they can be placed on the cookie sheet and can be kept warm in the oven, until served.
- Serve warm with your favourite pure maple syrup.
Notes
Another tip: you could use cinnamon raisin bread for an even more decadent and flavourful twist.
