    This healthy recipe for gluten free gingerbread pancakes is the perfect Christmas breakfast! These gluten free pancakes are so easy to make from scratch. They would also be perfect for a holiday brunch.

    I've had a pancake maker for years. It makes two pancakes at a time and cooks both sides at once. It cuts down on cooking time and you don't have stand over the stove watching for a pancake to bubble so you can flip it.

    The model I have isn't made anymore. The only versions I can find are comic book characters. I like my pancake maker so much that if it breaks I'm getting this Wonder Woman Pancake Maker.

    What does egg do in pancakes?

    Since these are gluten free pancakes they lack the structure that gluten would provide. Adding an egg to the recipe lets the pancakes rise and get fluffy. Without an egg the pancakes may be dry and the batter more like a biscuit dough.

    Some try adding more oil, but the oil won't help the batter rise while you're cooking the pancakes and you will end up with flat pancakes. You can use ¼ cup of applesauce for each egg omitted but you will also need to add ½ teaspoon of baking powder so your pancakes will rise.

    Why do you use buttermilk in pancakes?

    The acid in buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and will add air bubbles and more fluffiness to your pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes will have a moist and fluffy texture.

    If you don't have buttermilk you can make it by adding one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to one cup of 2% milk. The lemon or vinegar adds the acid to the milk and will react to the baking soda.
